Nintendo DS: Star Wars
I bought Star Wars: The Complete Saga for the Nintendo DS on Friday and while it’s quite cute, I’m stuck already. I’m on episode I, part 4 and just seem to be going round and round in circles. I would google for the solution, but I hate “giving up” when the game has barely started yet.
When’s the best time to admit defeat?

YOU are not allowed to admit defeat. Stick at it. Be strong! You’ll get there eventually!

Comment added: March 25th, 08 @ 8:18 pmI admit defeat when I begin to lose interest. So long as I keep myself motivated and feel challenged, I don’t give up!
Comment added: March 25th, 08 @ 8:23 pmPersonally, I love using walkthroughs when I’m lost.
You just look at WHERE you have to go next, or HOW to make it there, then you continue on your own. You’re not really admitting to complete defeat. What type of game is it? It is more of an action game?
Comment added: March 25th, 08 @ 8:40 pm@Julie: it’s the Lego Star Wars game (I forgot to mention that in my post!) so it’s a kind of cute shooty-bang-bang platformer. If that makes sense? :p
Comment added: March 25th, 08 @ 8:43 pmKeep at it. If it you still don’t know, just Google it.
Comment added: March 25th, 08 @ 9:32 pmWhat is this defeat you speak of? I play games with the guide in my lap
Seriously, if it makes you throw the controller or walk away in frustration, it’s time to turn it off, cool down, and go back to the game after checking ye old GameFAQs. It’s supposed to be a hobby for Christ’s sake, not your ticket to hypertension.

Comment added: March 26th, 08 @ 12:04 amI have the original Lego Star Wars for our PS2 and play the complete saga on the Wii everyday. I love it! Episode I, part 4 is the pod race, right? I’m a pro at that level now!
Comment added: March 26th, 08 @ 1:57 amI’m sure you’ll be able to figure it out soon, Jem. ^_^ Tell me you’ve heard of GameFaqs? The website is the name plus a .com (I didn’t want to be tossed in the “spam” category. :P) Anyway…The ONLY time I’ll look at a walkthrough is if I’ve spent hours trying to figure something out and getting beyond frustrated. Usually it’s me missing some minute detail. v_v Anyway, best of luck figuring it out, yes?

Comment added: March 26th, 08 @ 2:56 amAhh, I love those LEGO Star Wars games! I have the two individual ones on Gamecube.
Is Episode I Part 4 the part that involves podracing? Because there isn’t really a solution for it, except for win the race somehow. It took at least an hour to get through that one part.
Comment added: March 26th, 08 @ 6:16 amThere is no shame in admitting you are beaten. The next step would be simply to either start again and keep trying until you do get past this point, or you could just give up altogether and try something simpler like…what am I saying?? Get back on that game and kick some ass!
Comment added: March 26th, 08 @ 7:17 am@Michelle/Kycoo: no, the podrace was part 3. I’ve done that one. Level 4 you’ve got to get Anakin in the travel chute to get him over to the platform that you can see t’other side of a huge gap. It was there I was getting stuck - I couldn’t seem to get any character in the chute. I ended up using the walkthrough and then kicking myself because I’d figured it out all along, I just wasn’t hadn’t pressed A to enter the chute. Lame-o!
Comment added: March 26th, 08 @ 11:21 amI remember playing FFVIII long ago and wanting to commit suicide because i had missed a summon -_- so now while i still don’t like to cheat per se… keeping a walk through handy is never a bad thing.
Comment added: March 26th, 08 @ 3:39 pmThere’s nothing wrong with using help, that’s why it’s available. Try gamefaqs.com, there’s guides there. So long as you don’t use it as a crutch for the aprts you can handle on your own, I don’t see a problem with it.
Comment added: March 26th, 08 @ 4:29 pmUsing a walkthrough isn’t cheating in my “unhumble” opinion. It’s not like you’re checking every move. Besides, it’s an action game, walkthroughs don’t push the buttons for you. I always use walkthroughs when playing Final Fantasy games because there are so many spells and items you can miss if you don’t.

I spent so much time trying to work out the correct starting point to fly R2D2 over before finally figuring out what the chute actually was. I’m currently stuck on Jabba’s Palace at the moment, and walkthroughs aren’t helping. D: But still: Lego Star Wars is so darn cute… except for the first half hour where I kept swearing at Obi-Wan to get out of the way of my lightsaber. I kept killing him so many times…
Comment added: March 26th, 08 @ 9:45 pmOn the PS2 and Wii the fourth level is the pod race. I’ve been wondering how different the DS version is. The GameBoy Advance version is a lot different. If I remember right, I had trouble with the part you were when I first played the game. Some parts get tricky and once you actually get through it, you realize just how easy it actually was. Heh
