Description official descriptions

Learn about physics and simple machines as you build your own Star Wars droids. Once you have selected various parts to put together in the droid, you pilot it through many different missions in a 3d environment. The beginning training missions teach you about the concepts. Once you get to the final mission, you'll be navigating your droid to find the Empire's Assassin Droid Factory so you can reprogram them to save the Alliance.

Pretty fun even if you're not the target audience.

The Good
Despite being a science lesson about simple machines, it's enjoyable to build your robots to solve the puzzles. The game engine does a nice job putting the pieces together to make your creations look good.

The Bad
However, there are way too many variations on the same missions. You shouldn't have to do solve each mission with every possible limitation on robot design to get through the game. A minor annoyance, but the bipedal robots have an irritating way of walking.

The Bottom Line
Not a bad edutainment game.
