Our
in house video game expert had the chance to have
a few questions answered by the creative team behind
Star Wars Lego.
1)Tell
us a little about, Lego Star Wars.
We’re really excited to be working on
it – bringing, we hope, a really fresh view
to our favorite characters, and the stories of Episodes
I, II and III.
2)Is Lucasfilm giving you rough footage from the
Revenge of the Sith to create the Episode III parts
of the game?
Yes, we’re privileged to be
working closely with Lucasfilm.
3) Is there co-op mode?
We are extremely proud of the “drop-in/drop-out”
2-player feature of LEGO Star Wars. This means that,
at *any* point in the game, a second player can
join in the action; and two players play together.
There are always at least two playable characters
in any scene. When playing on your own, you can
“tag” another playable character to
take direct control of them, manually. When not
controlled by a human player, all characters will
fight and adventure alongside you under AI control.
It works really well, and it’s just such great
fun to play along with a friend.
4)Can players play co-op over the internet?
No online, you’ll need to be
in the same room as your co-player.
5)What characters can players play as?
One of the coolest things about the
game is that you’ll get to be *all* the characters
from Episode I, II and III – both good guys
and bad guys; major and minor. (OK, not *every single
one* - but more than 40…)
6 )Can you tell us about the cinematics that are
shown in the game?
We have many cinematic sequences in
the game, to help tell the whole story of Star Wars
Episodes I, III and III – all with a unique
LEGO attitude. Technically, yes, we’ll be
rendering them in-game – and I can assure
you that they look *superb*. We have some fantastic
animators working to create some hugely entertaining
action: spectacular, mischievous and dramatic.
7)Who is doing the music for the game?
We will make use of authentic Star
Wars music.
