Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga - Longplay (No Commentary, Super Story Mode)

This is my playthrough of Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga on PC (Steam). I played through all movies on "Super Story" mode, so the gameplay is fundamentally the same as a standard playthrough. This is obviously a classic game and is pretty iconic. It's good fun to play but is far from flawless. One thing that stood out to me is that you need to be very close to a character in order to switch to them, as opposed to newer Lego games where you can be miles apart. This is often frustrating, especially because the characters move quite slowly, and the player 2 AI is fairly poor so you often find that characters are lagging behind or otherwise not being where you want them to. The Super Story mode is pretty tedious and doesn't offer anything new compared to just playing through the game, except it is less enjoyable because you have to do it one sitting. It gives you a stud target and a time limit that you supposedly are intended to hit both of, though seemingly you only need one of them. I remember previously giving up on Episode 6 because I had no hope of completing it within 1 hour, but this didn't actually matter. I also think there's some odd level design in places. For example Episode 3 Level 4 (Defense of Kashyyyk) has a room with a large ship very visible, which you can use the force on (1:42:15). I think this strongly suggests that you are supposed to use the force to lift it up to progress through the level. This is quite challenging due to a very large amount of droids that spawn in this room. The ship is for a freeplay extra only, and you are actually supposed to simply walk past it and through a subtle gap which is quite hard to spot. Episode 6 Level 3 (Speeder Showdown) was far glitchier than anything else I encountered. I think what possibly set off the main glitches were that I switched to Leia, who was on a speeder, while playing as Luke with 1 heart remaining. This meant that I died as soon as Leia got shot. A couple of minutes later while in the speeder chase section, I died and Leia was no longer on the speeder which is not intended (4:52:20). I couldn't get back on the speeder and my movement on foot was too slow to sensibly move around this area because it was designed for the fast speeders. To continue, you need to shoot the enemy speeders, but it is unclear whether you can do this from on foot, and the enemy speeders pass you at a very high speed so you'd need to have extremely good timing. I almost gave up but I decided to try adding my keyboard as player 2 (player 1 was on a controller). This made the camera freak out due to the game not having split screen co-op (4:54:10). Player 2 was now controlling a driverless speeder, but I couldn't move far from player 1 who was on foot, so I made player 1 drop out. Shortly after, Leia suddenly appeared on the speeder I was controlling and I became unable to move (4:55:30). I tried bringing player 1 back in, which allowed me to move and put icons for both players on the speeder, as though both players were controlling the speeder. When I got off the speeder, a third speeder appeared from nowhere (4:57:00). --- Episode I: The Phantom Menace - 0:00 Episode II: Attack of the Clones - 39:17 Episode III: Revenge of the Sith - 1:19:46 Episode IV: A New Hope - 1:59:55 Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back - 3:04:46 Episode VI: Return of the Jedi - 4:15:16 --- Audio loudness at default settings: -20.5 LUFS (Integrated) --- I run this channel for a bit of casual fun. Expect misplays, deaths and suboptimal speed! Feel free to use the content from this channel how you wish. To gather stats regarding game audio loudness, I leave game's volume settings at their default and don't change the volume of the recording, meaning that YouTube's loudness calculation should give a fairly accurate figure for how loud the game is.
