The force is strong with this one…

I finally got to play the new Lego Star Wars II last night (even though I bought it on Tuesday – more on that later).  What an awesome game!  First of all, for anyone who grew up with the movies, it takes you back to when you first saw them.  I found myself smiling like a little kid the whole time I was playing it (alongside my smiling five year old – we take turns playing).  The game follows all of the action from the first three movies, with a little bit of Python-esque humor thrown in (Han does shoot first, but a little differently than you may remember).  The game also has some new moves such as Chewbacca’s pulling-arms-out-of-sockets move where he climbs on top of a stormtrooper and…well, you know. 

Anyway, the reason I just played it is because Tuesday when I went to install it on my computer, I got a message saying that a file on the disc was corrupt.  So I thought I was stuck with a $30 defective disc, which according to the Fargo-accented guy in the Wal-Mart electronics section, “Caen’t be returned, ya know, because, ya know, it’s got these codes that you caen copy onto your compeuter.”  So, luckily after searching on the LucasArts discussion board I found this fix, which finally installed the game.  The game is available for every platform but Mac, so if you don’t have it yet, go get it.
