The Mobile Empire Strikes Back With LEGO Star Wars II

THQ Wireless and TT Games Publishing Ltd has announced their plans to release LEGO Star Wars II Mobile, the sequel to one of the highest-quality and best-selling mobile phone games of 2005. Created by Universomo, LEGO Star Wars II Mobile is slated for an international release this holiday season.

Based on the Star Wars Trilogy, LEGO Star Wars II Mobile includes even more of the family friendly LEGO action, puzzles and humour that earned the original LEGO Star Wars such popularity and acclaim.

LEGO Star Wars II Mobile is based on events in Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, as Luke Skywalker and R2-D2 perform an undercover rescue mission on board the Empire’s ultimate weapon, the Death Star. The objective is to find and rescue Princess Leia, who lies captured somewhere in the Death Star’s prison cells.

The adventure starts when Luke Skywalker sets off to rescue the errant droid R2-D2, who wanders off as soon as the rescue team lands the Millennium Falcon on the Death Star. Luke has to find R2-D2 so he can access the location of Princess Leia’s prison cell to rescue her and escape from the Death Star. During these missions, the player fights against the forces of the Empire and solves LEGO puzzles in order to proceed through all of the 18 interconnecting levels.

Star Wars fans will be delighted to learn that they can control Luke Skywalker, R2-D2, and Princess Leia, each with their own special powers. For example, Leia is great with her gun, while R2-D2 is key when solving the game’s puzzles. While controlling one game character, the player can leave the other characters on strategic locations where they can act independently: In some parts of the game it is essential to have a sidekick covering your back while you’re moving LEGO blocks to access new locations in the game!

“TT Games Publishing are confident once again to have formed an alliance with THQ Wireless for the successful distribution of LEGO Star Wars II for mobile,” said Garry Edwards, Business Development Director of TT Games Publishing.

Adam Comiskey, Vice President of THQ Wireless international, added, “We’re excited to be able to deliver even more fun and creativity to the mobile games player under the LEGO Star Wars banner.”
