Updated: LEGO Star Wars

The original, classic Lego action-adventure game LEGO Star Wars was just updated to support game controllers.

Originally developed by Traveller’s Tales, this game was the first of the modern “Lego Game” series, and has been ported to countless consoles. This particular version is based on the full-featured console version, as opposed to other iOS Lego games, which are generally ported from mobile DS versions.


Lego and Star Wars, together at last

There isn’t much to say about this game that hasn’t already been said. It’s a modern classic in the action-adventure genre, ridiculously fun, and appropriate for all ages. This Complete edition includes both the Original Trilogy and Prequel Trilogy games, which were originally released separately.

This iOS port of the game had a rocky start, with low resolution graphics and poor framerate. Subsequent updates have polished it into one of the best versions ever. Retina graphics, universal compatibility, Game Center, and now controller support round out all the features you’d want in an iOS app. The first episode is completely free to play, with subsequent episodes unlockable via in-app purchase. The entire game can be purchased for $9.99 – a more than fair price for the massive amount of content included here.

If you’ve never played this game, download it now – you’re in for a treat.
