I bought my little boy the Lego Star Wars II (original trilogy) game to play on our IMac (the all-white one with the Intel Core Duo processor). I checked into the system requirements, asked a lot of questions, and even had extra RAM installed to assure that it would work. He loved it, but I (mostly my hands) got tired of playing using the keyboard. So, I purchased two Mad Cat controllers at the Apple store, went home, and the thing cranked away happily. I figured I'd never have to resort to keyboarding again.

I then purchased Lego Star Wars I. I figured it would work on my machine as-is, but, a day or so after we began playing, the controllers stopped working. I called Aspyr, and was told the controllers I have aren't supported by the game; there's a list of supported controllers in the ReadMe file on the disk.

I know this game was actually released first, so maybe the later, original trilogy game is compatible with more hardware (eg, the Mat Cat controllers). I thought the controllers would be OK because they seemed to work with my machine and operating system. I didn't realize the game software could reject them.

All this wouldn't matter so much were it not for the fact that we can't progress past a point midway through the third "movie," where we try and try to jump up and shoot General Grievous, but the keyboard buttons don't seem to be able to do it. I've researched the walk-throughs and tips on the internet without success, and I'm not about to spend $40 or more for another pair of controllers just to get a better shot at General Grievous. If anyone has any ideas re: how to get past this, I'd love to hear your comments.

I don't know whether Aspyr is to blame for all of this or what, but it's been an expensive lesson about the level of detail and checking I'll need to go through next time I want to purchase a game for my IMac. Probably the moral of the story is, Play ball outside with your kid.



5 out of 5 stars Great game for all ages   February 3, 2008

If you'd like a game that you can play with your young child at the same time this is a great one. My son is four years old and he absolutely loves this. Characters never die so you can play as long as you like. It also has challenges for the adults. It's cute while also action packed. Clearly, this is not a game for the hardcore gamer but a lot of good fun.
