LADYDRAGON.COM - STAR WARS PLAYSET

As everybody knows, the Star Wars mania is conquering all generations. So Lucas Arts and Hasbro teamed up to get the interest of the younger people who didn't have the chance to see the first Star Wars. They put on the market a Playset that snaps onto your keyboard which acts like a gamepad.

You have to install this piece on your keyboard that is very easy when you follow the 2 or 3 step of the instruction sheet. After this you have to insert the CD into your CD-ROM and follow the installation steps. A tip for you, don't install the Playset before the installation. After that you can let your child play by himself or herself because of the simplicity and the quality of the descriptions give by the game.

The Playset has 8 commands. The 3 seats, where you can put the the pilot, the 2 floor station, the flight stick and finally the blue ball, the map, and the red button, the inventory. While the game is playing you can see pictures from the old movies and during the game it shows which commands to use.

" Going to fight the enemy."

"Here's the Playset you put on your keyboard."

When you play you don't even have to lock your gun on the enemy, you just have to push down the seat to shoot.

Unfortunately, this game is very easy. If your child is a little good with computers, he or she will have no pleasure to play with this game. The graphics of the game are good but they are not in 3D. The movies pictures are good quality too.

The interest for a child is very strong because they are in the situation of a Skywalker and its not just a mouse click or a keyboard button but a mini skywalker jet. They will really like the new Keytop of Star Wars. The sounds and music are very good, the voices and the shots are also good. It is a very original product.

Finally, the game will open the computer to the young kids who don't like their computer very much or the ones who have difficulty to use it. They will explore the computer world with a bigger interest. And they will be able to discover and enjoy the old Star Wars movies.
