I'm completely loving this game. All I saw was great reviews on it and I thought Lego's and Star Wars how can you go wrong, and I have to say it's a great match. I've never played the first game, but I know I'm going to now. Don't be fooled by the kiddie aspect of the game. This is a game for your Mom, Dad, Brother, Sister, anyone. It's as fun as Deadrising minus the blood and gore, unless you consider flying Lego's all over the place graphic.
I'm also having fun playing co-op with my little sister and fiancé. And the good thing is they can drop out or drop in anytime.
The only bad thing is the sucky camera that occasionally becomes stuck. It's made for a few humorous moments though; Luke(Me) getting stuck in a corner or falling off a cliff over and over again as Yoda(my sister) leaves me behind taking the camera with her. The screams of R2-D2 falling over and over again are even funnier.
Some of the puzzles may confuse you at times and take longer then they should, but that was worth the funny cutscenes, comedic elements placed in different maps like a go-kart track on Dagobah or Lego Stormtroopers falling over. The Character Customizer is fun too and let's you put Darth Vaders head on Princess Leia's body(in the Jabba the Hut slave outfit) creating a Princess Vader.
It's for all the systems btw, including the DS and Gameboyadvance(I"m also going to pick up the DS version too).
Here's a few reviews:

Personally it's worth my 50 bucks, it was fun and there's a lot of replay value in the game, especially if you have family or friends to play with.
Oh, and for all you 360 achievement hounds, it's an easy 200 gamerpoints just playing through the main chapters.
