Star Wars: Droid Works Reviews
this game is great you get to build your own droids from star wars and then battle them.
Each droid must meet special mission criteria specifided by the program, but there is plenty of room for innovation, and if the mission fails, well, he can re-design and try again. The child is the designer of "droids" that he sends on missions. So, let them fight over the computer. Kids like it, and we, parents, like it for the creative thinking and learning. Our 8 year old son is the one who wanted it, but we all play with it.
Unknowingly he is learning about physics, how machines works and about material properties while improving his problem solving skills. When he successfully completes a mission, he is rewarded with more and better parts to include in his future droids. As he propgresses, the missions get harder. It is fun to be a droid designer and to see one's creations put to work.
Your job is to build a droid to reprogram the assassins into harmless droids. Assassin droid are tough droids armed with huge blasters and a taste for torture. In these three missions, assassin droids are lurking, so you must be careful. The plot goes like this: The Empire has started the prodution of assassin droids. Once all are completed, you get access to the four secret missions. These missions are also to teach you about the science concepts used in the missions.
Before doing this, you must build droids to complete eight training missions three times to prove you're worthy and to be rewarded with droid parts. In three of them, you must collect the three Information Crystals, one in each mission. After that, you must activate them in the Data Information Facility to get the Data Disk, as well as the location of the Hidden Droid Factory that is producing the assassins. With the Data Disk, you must enter the Hidden Droid Factory, and insert it into the reprogramming slot to reprogram the assassins into harmless dancing droids. However, they are dim-witted. Star Wars Droidworks has been one of the most addictive games I have ever played.
Youget to build droids and send them out on your training missions, thenthere's 3 ultra hard assassin droid missions.This is an awesome game for kids even older then the recomended.
They haven't gotten all of the way through it yet but from what I have seen, this would be a perfect precursor to some of the Lego Mindstorm products available. The educational value is a lot better than a lot of software target for kids in this age group. It was hard to find in the computer stores, so Amazon may be your best source. They showed me how to do it and now I am eagerly awaiting my turn. Even though the box says this is for children aged 10 and up, my two boys (6 and 8) learned independently and on their own to build droids and solve the puzzles. Note to LucasArts - PLEASE MAKE A SEQUEL.
