Thinking and fun for boys and girls 2001-11-18
Our 8 year old son is the one who wanted it, but we all play with it. The child is the designer of "droids" that he sends on missions. 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. 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. Unknowingly he is learning about physics, how machines works and about material properties while improving his problem solving skills.
It is fun to be a droid designer and to see one's creations put to work. Kids like it, and we, parents, like it for the creative thinking and learning. So, let them fight over the computer!
A five-star game! 2000-11-26
Star Wars Droidworks has been one of the most addictive games I have ever played. The plot goes like this: The Empire has started the prodution of assassin droids. Assassin droid are tough droids armed with huge blasters and a taste for torture. However, they are dim-witted. Your job is to build a droid to reprogram the assassins into harmless droids. 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. These missions are also to teach you about the science concepts used in the missions. Once all are completed, you get access to the four secret missions. In three of them, you must collect the three Information Crystals, one in each mission. In these three missions, assassin droids are lurking, so you must be careful. 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.
A VERY good game, even for older kids. 2000-07-02

Edutainment at its Best 2000-04-05
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. They showed me how to do it and now I am eagerly awaiting my turn. 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. Note to LucasArts - PLEASE MAKE A SEQUEL!
it was awesome. 1999-09-01
it was the best game that i have ever played
demo worth the big download 1999-06-19
This is cool because it is also for Mac. I have only played the demo, available from the LucasLearning site. It was very impressive, with a high degree of replay. The graphics, utilizing the Mac's built-in 3D card, were very impressive. It was fun to make different droids and see how they react in different circumstances.

Droid building

You get to build droids even ones in existence like artoo-detoo and c-3po. It uses the Jediknight Dark Forces II engine. The real object for missions is to test your droids on sandy surfaces. The whole game takes place on Tatoonie and it has many dangerous parts. Like falling off a fifty foot drop might explode the droid. I say its great for all ages.
