" This star wars game is so cool. I just got it so i can't tell about the levels. It has awesome new minifigures to be. I love the jedi battle level. I like how you can choose to do count Duku (i don't know how to spell these names) ,Don't know how to spell it ventress, or general grevois path.This is a great video game for wii. I don't know about other systems. I highly recomened this, but i wouldn't wan't you wasting your money if you don't like star wars.

" I have always liked mobile command centers, but they all seem to be a bit expensive. However, this set exeeds standards and offers a lot for the good price. This set includes a ship, a alien vehicle, some small human vehicles and the command center which divides into a front and a back. I will divide thhis review into sections:
Ship: The ship is really cool. It is big and has lots of cool patterns on it. Sadly, thoose patterns are stickers. It is big, and has a nice roomy cockpit. It attaches to the back of ther vehicle, and you can 'launch' it off. The ship is really cool and causes no inbalance on the vehicle.
Alien ship: The alien ship is a classic u.f.o, a different varyation from the other sets however. It has stickers (no!!!!), weopons hanging off the sides, and a cool big dome over the giant cockpit. The ship doesnt really do anything, but the aliens need at least a little help, right? I had no problems with the alien ship.
Human extras: This set came with a lot of little exras, most of which can fit cozily into the mobile command center. It came with a cool stretcher attached to a mini jeep thing. It was cool, and the figures could be attahed to the stretcher so they dont fall off. It also came with lots of weopons and a walkie talkie and stuff like that. Finally, it included a little pod to hold aliens. The aliens fit inside, no problems. The accesories were a good addition.
Front of command center: The front of the command center is devided into two parts. In the front is two seats for drivers and a bunch of control panels. This area was a little cramped, but that was o.k. The back section included a chair that swivled around a half-circle of computers and controls. Two weopons could be stored on hooks in the walls too. Also, the giant turret gunner things on top of this section can be removed and placed as a ground recon base. This opens up the roof in the back, allowing more hand space for play.
Back of command center: The back was the coolest part. Fun to build, and it has tons of features crammed in. This is supposed to be the medic area. The stretcher could be rolled in here, and there is a lamp that swivels out, and light, a cabinet for storage. You can store weopons and this back area is big if you dont have anything in it. This is my favorite part, and it will probably be yours too.
This set is too good to pass up, i highly recommend it. It is a good base for the humans.

" This set is just too expensive and too plain to be considered a good set. The minifigures are bad, and there are few of them, the ship is bad, not any better than cheaper sets. The claw feature gets in the way and hangs out and messes up the angle of the set. The U.F.O sound is o.k. but i thought it didnt matter, it just gets annoying after a while. The ship is heavy and akward and is hard to land. Other than the center cockpit, this set is repetitive and boring to build. Ill say the pros and cons:
Pros.
Cool alien commando, i guess
center cockpit is cool
Cool alien commando, i guess

Cons.
Very few minifigs
ufo sound is annoying
small
claw is weird

Save your money and buy other sets in the series.

" This u.f.o is way bigger than others in the series and the light does not go out. The abduction feature didnt work too well, a little claw comes out and it is hard to grab the human. Also, the claw interferes with the light. Otherwise, it is a balanced set with lots of human stuff along with the u,f,o GET IT!

" This set is bad. The helicopter is small and it comes with two of the exact same U.F.O's. I didnt like it, i recommend you buy other sets in the series, which are all better deals than this. The build was long, boring, and challeging and the finished product is only cool if your going to put it on display, it has no playability. Save your money!

" This set is a good one. The tripod is huge! It comes with cool minifigures and an awesome little alien headsucker thing. It is designed well, and i like how the tripod can seperate from the legs to become a ship and fly away with the townsperson in the little pod in the back. Everything about this set sounds good, right? Well, the only problem (if you want to have a fair fight for your humans) is tha the tripod outnumbers everyone in power. It should have come with a human ship or turret or something. However, this is not a problem if your just setting it up for display or if you dont care about that kind of stuff. Otherwise, this is an affordible cool new set that mixes well with other sets.

" I always liked how with every theme, lego made a small ten dollar vehicle, which is a good price. This is the little vehicle of the alien conquest theme. And i must say it definetly is one of the good ones. It includes an alien and a pilot, and the car and a ship for the alien. The alien ship is REALLY small, but i suppose they didnt want to make it too big. The alien ship is sleek, and adds alot to the set. The vehicle for the pilot is suprisingly big and rides smooth. It has a rotating turret on top, complete with two flick fire missiles that dont work the best. In the front of the vehicle there is a weird sheild peice that sticks out and makes the set look weird, but its still o.k. The vehicle is big and has few stickers. Definetly one of the cheaper, better sets in the series.

" This is a okay set. I just got it for the boat. The price is average, but you can't really play with it that well. The flying car is really cool too.
Pros:Cool car and boat
Cons:bad play experience
If you got lots of money and like cars 2 sets get it . If not, get a different set. "

" This set is the best set in the pirates theme beause of its size and simplicity. This set is an O.K. price with cool minifigures. The minifigures were awesome, Barbossa was my favorite. Barbossa had a old style pirate hat and a scabbard that worked really well. His peg leg didnt get in the way or hinder him from standing up. The skelaton was cool, although i dont know if it counts as a minifigure. Jack was classic, and his hair is awesome. Blackbeard is cool and well built. His Beard and sword are rubber, but not flimsy at all. His hat was cool, but a bit lopsided, facing almost behind him. The fountain itself is bigger than expected, and it is cool. It doesnt look at all like it does in the movie, but i think it looks better. It looks more like a geyser than a fountain, with a fountain spraying up and water blasting from both sides of the main fountain. It has lots of clear peices and rocks. Also it is brighter than it looks in the image, with bright blue and clear blue. The top of the spray looks cool, its clear but it has little water droplets spraying out everywhere. It is NOT only half built like some people say, it is rounded all the way around. It just has ridges in the back on its base, making it look cut in half at first glance. The waterfall is big too, and it has lots of datail like hanging foilage and cool rocks. The water itself is weird, it is a sheet of plastic hung by two hooks. When the minifigures walk through it, it lifts up entirely, so i anchored it with the spare peices in the sets. This set also comes with a card and a double-sided poster. On one side of the poster is the map, and on the other there is the scene from the lego vidio game. It also comes with two codes for the website, but i found these useless. If you consider everything this set comes with, it is actually a pretty good set and good price. Here are the pros and cons:
Pros.
-BARBOSSA BARBOSSA BARBOSSA BARBOSSA BARBOSSA BARBOSSA BARBOSSA BARBOSSA BARBOSSA BARBOSSA!!!
-Colorful
-lots of stuff makes for ok price
-lots of minifigures
-good set overall

Cons.

Buy this set instead of other sets in the theme because it is awesome. It has many good things about it and barbossa is awesome!!!!
