LEGO Star Wars Saga App Reviews

I just upgraded to Mountain Lion so I can use the Webroot Antiviral software for my Mac. Well… as it happens after the opening screens and when I arrive at the Main screen to play the game: the keyboard becomes NONRESPONSIVE, the mouse barely works and I have to perform a cold boot on my iMac! My Imac specs are 4GB Ram and 201 GB Hard drive space. I had Snow Leopard b4 this and it worked fine minus the antiviral software. My advice is: If the game performs / works in a threatening manner it may have a Trojan or Worm hidden and Dont download this game!!!

This is hands down one of the most fun games on the MAC next to Minecraft. I am only op episode 3 but it is a fun game with difficult puzzles. I played this on the Wii when I was like 8. Now im 13 and I still find the game quite challenging. Good job with this game p.s @HobbitParrot it is 2 player but 2 people dont have to be connected its just a comeputer that automatically plays with you.

Great Game my kids (6&8) love this game, and the great thing is that thet can both play at the same time on the same keyboard.

I dont play many games, so this is a review more for very casual gamers who are looking at LSW as a mild diversion and arent really sure what kind of game it is. This is my first Lego game so maybe all Lego games are like this, who knows? Youre a little Lego guy (who you control), and youre with another Lego guy (that the computer controls). Its keyboard control only here — I think this was originally a console game. The game is set up so that two players can independently play the two active characters if you like, but for a single player, the second character (and later, a whole group of characters) just kind of follows you around. Youre allowed to switch on the fly between which character youre playing (e.g. I need to jump here. Which character can jump higher? Switch to them!), and part of the game is accumulating additional characters as you complete the stages. Its Star Wars; there are dozens. Fortunately the game gives you hints as you go through it, so you gradually learn why youd choose one character over another for a given situation. There are 6 main stages, one for each Star Wars movie, and each stage has 6 sub-levels that take you through the movie. For example, the first level of Episode I is aboard the Trade Federation blockade ship, the second is once youve landed on Naboo... Dot dot dot, Ewoks. So you have something like 36 levels to explore. A lot of fun to be had. Gameplay is very freeform. The Mos Eisley cantina is your "home base" from which you choose the stage you want to play. After a cute little cutscene, the two of you are plopped into some situation, and you wander around gathering coins (as all True Jedi do...) and figuring out how to open doors and stuff to move ahead. Being a kid-friendly Lego game, dying is not a big deal; you just explode into a pile of (your) coins and respawn, so eventually youre broke, but still alive. After youve finished a stage and go back to Mos Eisley, you can then choose better characters to go back in with again and again to collect everything you missed the first time. Once youve cleared the first level in Episode I, all 6 movies are unlocked for you, so from there you can go in order or not, as you like. And of course its Lego, so its always worth your while to stop what youre doing and compulsively assemble any piles of bricks that you find... I think the game is cute; a light-hearted little version of Star Wars that you dont have to take very seriously. Worth the price.

I am so happy with this game, it was a blast to the past in so many different ways. The best part about this is how easy it is to hook up video game remotes (such as a Xbox 360 remote) and how it is set up already as if it was made to do that. Just so profesional!

loving the game! It works beautifully on my Macbook Air 11 inch. Its not a two player only game so dont listen to a negative review like that. I play it by myself all the time. Great Lego fun on a classic series.

it wont even let me play the game none of my controls work terrible game do not get it. wast of money

i have always been a great fan of the star wars lego saga. While reading the reviews for this game i was a bit nervous but i took the risk and it has more than payed off. I am addicted. So much fun. I highly recommend it. A few slight issues her and there but not enough to take away a star.

i have a macbook air 11 inch version 10.9.1 and this game works just fine with my computer and it is optional to play 2 player and all around it is one of the best games ever

The game is amazing, just like the console version. Actually, pretty much identical. The only problem with the game is when I close it, it seems to mess up part of the screen on my 2013 MacBook Pro with Retina Display (13 inch). I’m not sure why it does this. Basically, it makes the top right portion of the screen de-retinized and it doesn’t let me spotlight search or click on the WiFi button on the menu bar. Other than that, it’s amazing!

Is there anyone else having issues with the control’s on the flying parts of this game ? In order to make a u turn you have to push the assigned buttons in sequance. Thats pretty hard for my 6 y/o sometimes and he has been getting frustrated as to why he can’t make it past some levels. So I gave this game a poor mark on the grounds that the controls (even user assigned) have issues, if you go forward you should go forward. I shouldn’t have to press left, right, back, and up, to make a circle ...

This game is a lot of fun.

for this game you really really need the recommended system requirements to play it, for one you can increase the graphics, two the game will respond and be much faster, and three if your using the minimum system requirements oh sure the game will run, but not very well, Not only will it take longer to load and not be able to have high grahics, but the game WILL i repeat WILL glitch at certain levels and prevent you from moving on with the game. This is very frustrating, but this is only caused by your system the game itself is completely fine. The reason i know all this is because i until recently was playing it on a mac osx system 10.6.8 with 10.5 hardware. Early last month i bought a new mac laptop system 10.9.4 and the game works AMAZINGLY WELL!! except for extremely rare instances where the sound cuts out it works great! it is TOTALLY WORTH THE $20($19.99) IT IS SO AMAZING! also in the game you can enter cheat codes to unlock extras, but there not really cheat codes since to get the min the game, you just need to find the red power bricks. some of the extras are really cool.

I really enjoy playing this game, if you are a fan of Star Wars or Lego video games then you will not be disappointed! the only thing i didnt like was that due to it being on a Mac there doesn seem to be native 2 player mode, with PS3 controllers over bluetooth. Other than that everything about this game is awesome, it runs smooth on my Mid-2012 Macbook Pro.

Does not work. i redownloaded it 10 times and it still wont let me do anything. everytime i get to the main menu it wontlet me select anything. waste of money and time. DO NOT GET

It is a very fun game, exactly like the originals on Nintendo DS. The controls are a ittle tricky, but they are customizable and you get used to them fairly quickly. One thing that I would ask of teh makers is that they make it a little more like the ipad/iphone/ps/xbox version which has slightly differnt levels and a challenge mode with blue minikits. Otherwise a great game and well worth 10 dollars.

I purchased this game as soon as I saw it on sale and do not regret it. I’ll plug in two controlers to my Mac and play with my son. He loves it. Great fun for the whole family.

This game is almost completely glitch-free EXCEPT the sound semi-regularly cuts out and has only returned by itself once…all the other instances required me to restart the app. Aside from that, the graphics are great and dont lag at all on my 2010 15" 8GB MacBook Pro i5. Lots of hidden things to do in the game.

Kids from 5 and up have loved playing this game and have begged to play it nearly every day for the last four months. The great variety of levels, secrets, and bonuses have been a lot of fun to discover. The game has worked nearly flawlessly (sound has dropped out a few times) on a late-2011 iMac running current OS versions. If you have a full-sized keyboard, I would recommend sliding the player 1 controls over to a-s-d-w and g-h-j-y and then use arrows and the keypad for player 2. This allows two people to play well without getting in each others’ way. I am very pleased with this purchase.

The game is good, the saga is good, the design is good, but… why do the characters needs to be so stupid and some stuff that happens aren’t even funny.
