Over 8 years of playing this game off and on, I have never come back to it and gone, "wow, they actually made it better."

Hundreds and hundreds of tanks on the roster, and only about 20 are actually worth playing because the rest have been power-creeped so badly. Even the premiums I have that were OP when they came out have now been power-creeped, that's how bad it is.

And now they're giving out old brokenly OP tier 9 and 10 reward tanks in lootboxes. It's painfully clear that all Wargaming cares about at this point is extracting maximum profits from a dwindling and evermore toxic playerbase.

Don't waste your time or your money.

DO NOT BUY FOR COOP; YOU WILL HAVE CONSTANT HEADACHES. CONSTANT CRASHING in Halo 2 and 3 coop campaigns. Every vehicle mission in 2. Literally 30 seconds into the first mission in Halo 3. NEVER FIXED. NEVER WILL BE.

Attempting to rebind any key gives the error "The key you are attempting to bind to is an unaccepted input." I cannot find any solution for this online.

The mixed reputation of this DLC is well deserved. Not really worth it for $10. While I haven't experienced the exact same problems as other reviewers are complaining about, we keep having trouble on Dorms with dropped guns disappearing or clipping into debris or maybe falling through the floor and thus being unable to get an S rating despite making no mistakes.

"ONLINE COOP" IS MISLEADING: only applies to a boring wave-based minigame, not to the singleplayer campaign. It might as well not exist.

NO GSYNC SUPPORT: turning VSYNC off leads to screen tearing even with a working GSYNC monitor.

FULL VOLUME LOGOS: can games stop blowing my ears out on startup, please? My system volume is where it's at for a reason.

A fantastic title for any fan of classic shooters like Quake or Half-Life.

My only gripe is that the complete lack of autosaves is a double-edged sword. We've all been at a point of nearly pulling our hair out from being soft-locked due to a poorly timed autosave. But I ragequit this game several times because I'd finish a hard boss fight just to die on some trash and have to do the whole thing over again.

Quicksave is your best friend. Nay, your only friend in this game.

The game is actually pretty good so far, maybe not quite on the "awesome" level of TNO's intro yet, but it's still pretty fun. However I cannot recommend it at this time purely out of technical issues. The problems I'm having aren't completely gamebreaking, but they are horribly egregious.

Namely, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ V-Sync. V-Sync in the Wolfenstein games has always been terribly implemented, adding horrendous input lag (how the hell have you not figured this out yet, MachineGames? Really?) but this game has the added benefit of ignoring v-sync forced on in the driver as well! (Nvidia owners: for other games, try setting "Vertical Synchronization" in your control panel to "Fast" and leave it off in-game, you'll thank me later).

The base game comes with... five trains and three routes. If I had known all the content was in DLC I would never have purchased it.

TL;DR: A great nostalgia trip for Lego and/or Star Wars fans, but rough around the edges and it shows.

I had the original two Lego Star wars games for Gamecube way back in the day. I played and enjoyed the hell out of both of them. So you can imagine my excitement when I realized that I could play both, in one game, on PC. I picked this title up in the winter sale and I've been playing it off and on since then.

It's just as fun as I remember it. The absence of their cringeworthy dialogue and forced love story make the prequels much more enjoyable, though it might be hard to understand if you don't already know the plot. The slapstick and Lego dismemberment gags never get old. There's easter eggs hidden everywhere, encouraging exploration, and the game's puzzles are challenging and rewarding enough to solve for players of any age without getting frustrating (most of the time).

You can play as all your favorite characters, along with many others whose names you never knew and never really cared about, like Grand Moff Tarkin or Ki-Adi-Mundi. Most of the main characters have unique and sometimes hilarious melee animations, like Princess Leia who bitchslaps everyone, or Chewbacca who will leap on stormtroopers and rip their arms off (it's all bloodless Lego gore so it's okay for kids, obviously).

However, no game is without sin and this one commits quite a few of them.

A lot of the optional characters, especially the blaster-wielding ones, have little differentiation between them besides their general appearance, so you'll probably just end up using Luke Skywalker (Jedi), Boba Fett (grown-up), and Darth Vader most of the game.

The most glaring flaws are perhaps the myriad of bugs littered throughout the game, from texture, shadow, and Z-ordering glitches (where background meshes pop through foreground ones) to areas where the Lego studs you're supposed to collect (as currency) simply clip through the floor or walls or other decorations and disappear. Since this game was released in 2009, I very much doubt that these issues will ever be resolved.

Some puzzles are far more tedious than challenging; oftentimes the solution is obvious but requires a lot of work simply to make it seem more difficult than it actually is. This is a trap that many otherwise very good puzzle games (like Portal and The Talos Principle) fall into to pad out their runtimes, and I wish it would stop. Some of the optional puzzles have such obscure and nonsensical "solutions" that you're basically just trying to guess what the game designer was thinking.

There is no brightness slider, so some scenes can become very overblown, especially with the excessively strong bloom shader included in the game. Disabling bloom helps but makes other scenes look much more drab so it's a lose-lose either way. Also, and this is more of a nitpick than anything, but the screen-space reflections on windows and polished floors are inconsistent in resolution, so some are crystal clear while others are horribly pixellated.

Otherwise, the game's graphics have aged about as well as they could have, considering they're rendering a world which is supposed to look like it's made of plastic. I'll have to look at other more recent Lego games and see how they've improved the engine.

However, I really, really, really, really hate the third-person camera. This is one of those games that tries a little too hard to imitate cinema: the camera is often either in a fixed position and pans to show the characters, or pans while following a dolly path through the level. There's also the seemingly intentionally added tracking latency, where it takes a second to catch up to movement of your characters. In addition, some of the levels with mandatory platforming sections have preset camera positions which give very poor depth cues, so sometimes you have no idea if you're going to hit the platform you want or if you're going to fall to your death. Put that all together, you end up with a distracting, oftentimes misleading, and sometimes downright sickening visual ride.

You might be wondering why I'm still recommending this game, even with all these complaints. It's Lego freaking Star Wars, man. This ♥♥♥♥ sells itself.

It's basically a rehash of Left 4 Dead with RPG elements and upgraded graphics but inferior gameplay. The interface is clunky, the combat feels sluggish, and the melee carnage, which should be cathartically satisfying, is boring and repetitive.
