DESCRIPTION

LEGO Star Wars II for Nintendo DS includes many of the same features found in the console versions, albeit with touch-screen support and exclusive wireless functions. Players will choose from a variety of LEGOized characters as they attempt to end the Galactic Empire's tyrannical reign in a storyline that focuses on the Star Wars saga's first three films. As players progress through the story mode's familiar movie scenes, they can unlock more than 50 characters and share them with friends via wireless connection.

The bottom screen allows players to instantly swap characters in and out of the party to take advantage of their special abilities and skills. The camera can also be manipulated using the touch interface, with players able to customize characters for the game's "free play" mode as well. Wireless features include both a two-player cooperative option and a four-player versus mode set in Jabba the Hutt's palace. The versus mode involves a race to capture Han Solo in carbonite using a choice of bounty hunters, including Boba Fett and IG-88. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide
