Best of E3 06: Xbox

Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy

Publisher: LucasArts
Developer: Traveler's Tales
Release Date: Fall 2006

No matter how bitter a curmudgeon video game sequels have turned you into, there's no denying the fun of Lego Star Wars. Now, the same development team that brought us the cute, cube collector's fantasy is back with Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy, and our own coal-black hearts are warming at the prospect.

Combining all of the loveable (that's right, we said it... we can love) elements of the first game, Lego Star Wars II has promised a staggering number of new features that have us giddy as schoolchildren. New vehicles, new characters and the storyline from our favorite trilogy... we just can't see how this game can do us any wrong.
