LucasArts and TT Games today released LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy, the sequel to one of the best-selling video games of 2005. Published by LucasArts and created by TT Games, LEGO Star Wars II is available across multiple platforms including the PlayStation 2, Sony PSP, Xbox, Xbox 360, GameCube and Windows, as well as handheld versions developed by Amaze Entertainment for Nintendo DS and Nintendo Game Boy Advance.
LEGO Star Wars II offers a comical take on the Star Wars Trilogy (Episode IV A New Hope, Episode V The Empire Strikes Back and Episode VI Return of the Jedi), following the Rebel Alliance's battle to dismantle the Galactic Empire and rebuild a galaxy in pieces. From Darth Vader's pursuit of Princess Leia aboard her Blockade Runner to a showdown on the reconstructed Death Star, the game includes even more of the family-friendly LEGO action, puzzles and humor that earned the original LEGO Star Wars such popularity and acclaim.
This time out the game offers levels featuring vehicles and creatures that players can ride or exit at will. Also, in LEGO Star Wars II's Free Play mode, gamers can customize more than 50 new playable characters by mixing and matching body parts, to build their own LEGO Star Wars heroes. And on certain platforms, a game save from the first LEGO Star Wars can unlock as many as 56 additional characters for Free Play.
