Lego Star Wars Guide
booman Grand High Exalted Mystic Emperor of Linux Gaming Staff Member
Today you will find a lot of Lego action games out there. Lego Batman, Lego Lord of the Rings, Lego Indiana Jones, Lego Harry Potter and more. There is very little competition for these cute, entertaining puzzle platform games, but it all started with Star Wars.
You can play through the entire Star Wars franchise in the Lego game with a few extra twists and comedic cut-scenes.
I was able to run it in Linux as well with very few issues.
Follow my step-by-step guide on installing, configuring and optimizing Lego Star Wars in Linux with PlayOnLinux.
Note: This guide applies to the Retail version of Lego Star Wars. Other versions may require additional steps.
To learn more about PlayOnLinux and Wine configuration, see the online manual:
PlayOnLinux Explained
Mint 14 32-bit
PlayOnLinux: 4.2.1
Wine: 1.5.25
Installing Wine with PlayOnLinux
Installing different versions of Wine is necessary for running different games because one Wine doesn’t work for them all. PlayOnLinux makes it possible to download, install and test your game in all the versions of Wine until you find the right one for your speicific game.
Launch PlayOnLinux
Click Tools
Click «Manage Wine Versions»
Wine versions manager
Note: Try using stable Wine 1.8 and 1.8-staging

Thats it! Try downloading other stable versions like 1.6.2
Setting up PlayOnLinux and Wine
Launch PlayOnLinux
Click Install
We are going to do a manual installation because the script could not be found in the search.
Note: Scripts are always recommended, but if it doesn’t work or isn’t found, manual install is the next best thing because it allows you to learn some of the inner-workings of PlayOnLinux and how to troubleshoot your games.

ALWAYS SELECT THE 32-bit VIRTUAL DRIVE

Bugs:
The main problem I noticed was playing cooperative. Any time I initiated the second player there was problem with both character synchronizing because the both did exactly the same thing. Both attacked at the same time and both move exactly the same. So this cause some problems because sometimes the other character would die because he was falling off a ledge or waking into danger. Actually it was quite comical, but cooperative is completely useless because I couldn’t control the player induvidually. Playing in single player with the A.I. controlled character worked fine.
Conclusion:
I was able to play LEGO Star Wars with high resolutions and settings on high with my GeForce 550 Ti and fullscreen with Wine’s virtual desktop. I was even able to play with my Logitec PS2-like controller in Linux.

Серия игр LEGO, знакомая многим игрокам не понаслышке, не уходит от традиций. Из года в год на свет выходят игры с простым и веселым юмором, с занимательными головоломками, созданные по культовым фильмам. Сегодня игрокам предлагается новая часть популярной серии LEGO Star Wars по самому кассовому фильму десятилетия – Звездные войны: Пробуждение силы.
Игра основывается на сюжете одноименного фильма и имеет при этом дополнительную повествовательную линию – огромный промежуток между VI и VII эпизодами сериала. Это значит, что игрок станет свидетелем становления Перового Ордена и, возможно, сыграет в этом процессе свою роль. Фанаты фильма эту новость восприняли контрастно: одним такая идея пришлась по вкусу, другие покрыли ругательствами Disney и подконтрольный им Lucasfilm за разрешение ребятам из TT использовать такую ответственную сюжетную линию, да еще и в традиционном юмористическом настроении.
Для поклонников серии LEGO также припасено пару сюрпризов. Например, система мультиблоков, позволяющая выбирать постройки и варианты их изображения. Такая функция разнообразит сюжет, так как некоторые квесты потребуют от игрока смекалки и иррациональное мышление.
Не обошлось и без воздушно-космических баталий. Теперь битвы дополнятся скоростными истребителями, бомбардировщиками и другими видами транспорта – в том числе появится и легендарный Сокол Тысячелетия.
Все нововведения можно опробовать в кооперативе для 2х человек на одном экране в привычном смешанном режиме Split-Screen / HotSeat. Как бы фанаты не просили, онлайн-кооператива в игру так и не принесли.
