Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens expertly scratches the itch if you’ve been hankering for a solid video game based off of Episode VII. It carries the Lego Star Wars series forward into the modern Lego style, and is easily the most polished Lego game I’ve ever played. While the story is a little linear and straightforward, the bonus missions make up for it with untold tales and new voicework. Like with seemingly every Lego game, if you’re not into the source material, buyer beware. But if you’re into Star Wars and want to relive the thrill of The Force Awakens, this is the best way to…

Charming, engaging and most importantly, fun, Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens is another excellent entry in the Lego franchise.

The sound is has its ups and downs. Numerous actors, including Harrison Ford and Anthony Daniels, recorded extra original dialogue for the game that sounds smooth and clear. This is in stark contrast to the lines taken directly from the movie. The numerous clips taken from the movie sound echoed and a bit tinny, which makes the jumps from newly recorded dialogue and movie clips jarring. Otherwise, all of the classic Star Wars sound effects are present and accounted for, which is an essential aspect of any Star Wars game.

Always fun to watch, sometimes tedious to play alone. Star Wars and LEGO solidify their meaningful relationship once again.

Just be prepared to still be left wondering "What do I do now?" from time to time.

It captures the spirit of Star Wars, but will feel very familiar if you've played a Lego game recently

In the end, LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens is not a perfect game, but it is a very, very good one that does something the series has needed to do for quite some time: innovate. And that’s difficult to do when both the source material, and the developer’s own formula, are so popular and entrenched. The title stays true to its roots, finding plenty of humour and blending it with shooting and platforming mechanics made all the cuter through the fusion of LEGO toys and one of the most popular movie franchises in history. The small risks taken are welcome ones, and while there is still some…

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens, is a breath of fresh air for the Lego series. I still remember when the first adaptation type Lego game came out and how bizarre I found it, and you know what?  I still find it bizarre… but I have to admit, I find them damn enjoyable.
