Not as Amazing as it Might Sound
Back when I was six, this game seemed like a dream come true. Finally, all these fun characters that I've watched for hours on end are playable ALL IN THE SAME GAME! YAY! I only played it for a bit as a six-year-old, and I found it fun. But now I'm a BIG SURLY TEENAGER who for some reason wanted to play this game for nostalgia. It seems a bit... forced. It just didn't have the same appeal as it did when I was littler. Thus, I make this review to explain my feelings on it from the perspective of someone not really in the right age range.
Graphics: 8 Yeah, I know what people will say. "Senor! The graphics are all pixelated and terrible! Why did graphics get an eight out of ten?" Well, for starters, yeah, the graphics are pretty mediocre, but I'm thinking BIG PICTURE here. These are characters that were created by THREE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PEOPLE! The game does a great job of using somewhat different animation styles for each one. For example, while Danny and Timmy (Both created by Butch Hartman) look two-dimensional, Jimmy looks somewhat more 3-dimensional. Plus, the game designers did a good job of making completely different environments. I don't know, I guess I just like how they handled the concept art and designs in the original cartoons.
Sound: 9 This is another disputable choice in my review. My reasoning is that the music in-game has a WIDE variety. From the music in the first Spongebob level to the music in the Jimmy levels, this game's music manages to find a way to be new and interesting every time. Except for the second Jimmy level. That's just the exact same music as the first. That's pretty much why sound only got nine instead of ten.
Addictiveness: 1 Here's where the trouble comes, and why I only gave the game a five out of ten. The next three reasons tell it all. The game has TERRIBLE replay value. You win in around two hour, and you just don't feel the urge to play it a... Read the rest of this Review

Just Don't Play It
I first played Lego Star Wars when it came out for the PlayStation 2. It was a fun and innovative game, so I decided to try it for the Gameboy Advance, my first handheld console. It was total, and complete, crap. I understand that the developers needed to dumb it down a bit for the handhelds, but this much? The PlayStation 2 version had entertaining levels that required thinking and tactics to win and collect everything, while this mockery of the subject of gaming is a hacky-slashy adventure, and not a good one at that.
Graphics got a six for just plain being average. It didn't push the boundaries of graphics at all. I mean, really, I've seen games on the Gameboy Color look better than this!
Sound got a 5 because I decided to compare it to another Gameboy Advance game: Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. The sound wasn't great in that game either, but I would give it an 8/10 just for the sheer VARIETY of music in-game, along with an abundance of sound effects. That game even managed to remind me of the first Kingdom Hearts game in many ways, and not only did it give a nostalgic feeling, it built off that nostalgia to form and entirely new game. And this is just talking about the sound. 'Nuf said.
Addictiveness got a 4 because I guess it could very well be possible to be addicted to this game, but I sure wasn't, and it frankly bored me. Video games are supposed to let you have fun, but all this one did was make you get some extra sleep.
Story got a 1. People can argue this point all they want, but the fact is, Episode I, II, and III weren't exactly the Star Wars movies that were memorable for their amazing plots. However, playing a game like this that uses blurry, out-of-focus pictures for plot makes the prequel trilogy's plot look good. The impossible has become a reality.
Depth got a 7 because, frankly, there's still lots of stuff to do in the game. It's a Lego game, meaning that there is going to be some form of collecti... Read the rest of this Review
