My wife and I like to co-op game with one another and LEGO Indiana Jones caught our eye awhile back. We absolutely LOVED it! 100% Completion. It doesn't have to be some hardcore game since we like to have simple planes, trains and automobiles fun.

That being said, I noticed that the Star Wars Saga was available and thought it would be cool. UGH....I liked it since I knew the movies but it was SOOOOOOO long and largely tedious. We stopped at 90% but if it wasn't for Batman....we would have quit earlier.

In regards to the Bat....we only played 1 movie, 2 scenes but really like it. It's taking some time to get used to the new maps but the interface is the same. The maps are also really involved so it's been hard. The characters are sweet and the gameplay is a hoot.

I know it isn't Assasin's Creed, FarCry or something more hardcore but it's cool for us. Any LEGO fans?

    I have Star Wars for you now....don't buy it. It will mentally drain you. Who doesn't want to get 100% on a game? We pulled 90% and thought that someone was slipping arsenic into the water.

    Overall, it was cool but damn.

    EDIT: You on PS3 Shawn?

    We have all of them, including the new Batman, purchased for my boys birthday. I never completely finished the star wars, but did finish Indy at 100%. Batman seems somewhat harder than the previous Lego's, but it looks like it will be a lot of fun.

    I was playing the LEGO Indiana Jones at my brother's GameStop and it was quite entertaining. All he had was a demo of the Batman one. That was a neat little game too but I'm not a big fan of the whole Batman thing. Also, as much as the length of the Star Wars games had, I missed the level of involvement that they had vs what was in Indiana Jones and Batman. They seemed too much like watered down, promotional deals meant for kid. Not like the Star Wars ones weren't the same. The game just seemed more in depth with Star Wars. Like there was plenty of the superficial stuff to keep a kid interested but the difficulty would progress high enough to be challenging for an adult...or at least something putting up the appearance of an adult!

    I play the LEGO games with my 5 year-old and we both love them. We started with Star Wars, then Indy and we just started Batman. We haven't played enough of Batman yet to make a judgment, but so far Indy has been my favorite. We both really liked Star Wars but yeah, getting to 100% was just too tedious. If you can play through it for fun and be happy with 80% completion, it's a damn fun game. Batman seems to be a little more complex in its map design thus far.

    Batman is the better of the 3, with Indiana Jones a close second. I wouldn't do Star Wars ever again. We're at 65.9% on Batman so far.

    I guess I should try batman or Indiana Jones because I loved LEGO star wars. It's funny how all my friend and I play call of duty and halo 3 but are equally as addicted to LEGO star wars... There is just something incredibly fun about the LEGO games.

    Lego Star Wars: 100%

    So many hours of my life spent on that game. I was so disappointed when I finally got all the gold bricks and all it built was that lame fountain.

    The amount of time I spent on that game is making me hesitate to buy Indy or Batman. Are these games less time consuming? I'm hoping so, there seems to be less movie material for them to cover.

    No kidding. That final gold brick thing pissed me off as well. I was so tired of that game, there was no way I wanted to bother with 100%. 90% was just fine for me.

    The other two are way more fun. Indy is the easiest but Batman has some pretty tricky sections throughout the game. It has you going back and forth alot because of character specific actions but its alot of fun.

    Sorry to go a little off topic here but some of you may be interested to know Lego has a free downloadable program where you can build anything you want on the computer then, when done, send it to Lego and for a very high fee build it, box it and send it to you. The program is full 3-D with 360 degree and zoom features. My 13 year old loves it and spends hours on it. You can save your creation to file too.

    Also, Lego is building an MMO supposedly that will be based off this object builder program. It sounds kinda interesting, I hope they can do it right and make it a fun game. I'm not entirely sure how you make an MMO based on Legos, but I've got my fingers crossed that it's as good as the Lego movie based games!

    The first Star Wars Lego was a nice novelty, The complete Saga was too long and sucked, and Indy did nothing for me. The Lego Batman on the other hand is a lot of fun.
