Kid Friendly and fun for all ages.
I remember my dad bought me this a few years back for my birthday and it was all I did in my spare time. We didn't have a "console" back then, but we had a macbook, so we installed windows on it and played this. The gameplay is extremely fun, although there is tons of auto aim. For example, if someone shoots at your back and you're swinging your lightsaber forwards, it will deflect the bolt. Also, if you shoot in the general direction of someone, it will hit them. However, this is not much of a setback.
There are also great vehicular combat levels as well. There is one thing that bugs me about the lightsaber fighting, though. If you are fighting with another person who has a lightsaber, the only way to hurt them is to use a "special move" (jump or double jump, then attack).
The controls are straightforward, but if you have hands bigger than a little kid's they're going to get squeezed. However, since this game is for windows, a microsoft product, this game is compatible with the wireless xbox 360 controller, something which would be useful. I myself have not tried it, but it is recommended.
There also is a 2-player co-op mode, but if you're sharing the keyboard it is extremely awkward. If you are interested in playing co-op, I highly suggest buying at least one xbox 360 controller so you don't have to squish into the same seat with your friend.
There are millions of characters to collect, and you'll never run out of things to do in this game. Go buy it, now!

Very Kid friendly, but sub-standard
I used to play this game obsessively as a kid, and my younger cousin still enjoys it. However, if you have played any other Lego Star Wars game, don't buy it. First off, it looks like an 8 year old created the sketch ideas, and then a bunch of adults put it together. I have to say, though, the graphics were very well done. There are almost no glitches, and the graphics are smooth. Since i played it on a slow PC, it had a problem with freezing, but that was the only issue i had. Otherwise, i would suggest it to any kid that's still going through their Star Wars phase. Anyone past that will get very tired of it very quickly.
