Don't know about the Star Wars games, but Lego Harry Potter certainly doesn't. I think it has online leaderboards and that's about it. Offline co-op is always better anyway ;)
Like Years 1-4 was before it, this is truly a magnificent game, and not only because it's finally something that I can play with my girlfriend! We're both Potter-mad and it's such a blast to play. Never knew Ian Brown was in a HP film though! Between me loving Harry Potter AND the Stone Roses, I'm surprised I never knew that...
That's on the US store, then? Because I'm from the UK and I was refreshing the store constantly all morning/afternoon before it went down. I purposefully kept this day free to play Resi 4 as well!
I've played them all, actually. Extensively, too. I did enjoy Galaxy, don't get me wrong, and it had some of the franchise's best platforming moments. But I don't think it had the charm that the previous games had. Maybe it's the music, maybe it's the setting, I don't know. But there's something about random planets and platforms in space that doesn't scream "MARIO!" at me. Maybe I'm just old-fashioned, but the blue skies of Isle Delfino and the Mushroom Kingdom are infinitely more appealing to me than the video above, which has absolutely NO charm or character to it whatsoever. I just hope that it's a tech-demo and not an actual level.
Sunshine was also my favourite. Hovering platforms in space just don't have any of that famous Mario charm, and without that, the games just turn into generic platformers.
