    After hours of hair-splitting and nitpicking, the bottom line is that Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens just may be the best time I’ve had with a Lego title in years. Everything here is big, broad and loaded with replay value, and — unlike stormtrooper fire — will provide fans with a perfectly aimed blast of entertainment.

    LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens probably would have sold well enough on the license alone, but TT Games wasn't content to coast on this one. The company put its best foot forward, and players are the ones to benefit.

    LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a much needed boost for the series. After Dimensions launched I thought all the standalone games would more or less be phoned in, but that is definitely not the case here. This has me excited for the next LEGO game, something I have not been able to say for years.

    With LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens, TT Games has shown its fans that it's listening. By adding new features and limiting the series' oft maligned about tedium, the studio has delivered one of its better games.

    If you’re looking for a title that relies heavily on problem solving with some action mixed in, then definitely give this one a go.

    TT's most polished game in ages. Just give it a few films before the next one, yeah? [Sept 2016, p.74]

    To me it's always seemed that the best of the LEGO games had Star Wars in the title. That doesn't change with The Force Awakens. Not only isTo me it's always seemed that the best of the LEGO games had Star Wars in the title. That doesn't change with The Force Awakens. Not only is it a fantastic retelling of the movie, but also features plenty of original side-stories and content to make it an incredibly packed experience. There's also enough new additions to the standard LEGO formula to make for a fresh feeling game.

    Obviously though it's still very much what you would expect from a LEGO game. You'll build, collect, and replay levels to see everything. All the while you're being treated to some good humor and fantastic level design.

    Most of the game's funniest moments come from the original stories. I was reminded just how serious the plot of the movie actually was. It's hard for the game to be funny when following the movie's plot so closely. As a result most of the game's attempts at making the material more lighthearted and funny is just having them hold food and stuff. There's really nothing funny in that. Still, it manages to squeeze some extra laughs from the movie and really brings the humor in it's side-content. Having the cast from the movie to reprise their roles is icing on the cake.

    The game is packed with content. The amount of activities spread across it's various hub-worlds and the ability to replay the levels with different characters will keep you coming back long after you played through the story the first time. Using different character's abilities to find new secrets is just as addicting as ever.

    As far changes to formula goes, it's admittedly there isn't much. However things like being able to have options to build multiple things with one pile of bricks, free-range space combat, and third-person cover shooting sections spice up the formula enough to make it feel fresh again. Or at least fresh enough to keep things fun.

    All in all it's a content rich, excellently crafted, and wildly enjoyable game. One perfect for gamers of any age, as well as Star Wars and LEGO fans. The always appreciated drop-in, drop-out co-op means that you can share the fun with a friend. It's been a while since the LEGO series has made a Star Wars game. The Force Awakens reminded me of just what I have been missing. Hopefully we won't have to wait as long for these two series to pair up again, because The Force Awakens proves once again these two go together like Han and Chewie.

It's got some really good new features to it that makes it stand out from the rest. The cover based shoot-outs were pretty fun. The multiply building system made a great new way to solve some puzzles, and the flying sections of the game were really fun. Also the open world was pretty cool to, with fun quests and humor along the way. With so much to do in this game, lego star wars the force awakens manages to be a really fun and entertaining game for star wars fans to enjoy. Expand

Charming is what I'd call it, and it runs extremely well with no frame issues, or texture hiccups. The sound design is perfect, with everything sounding like it does from film and TV, along with some great voice work from the kick-ass cast. A smoothed out control system, better character switching, and a bunch of tweaks in vehicle control rounds out the whole package.

    You can't really ask for more than that.

    I put a lot of time into this game, clocked 100% and managed to accrue billions of studs. I've not been bored once, and I really did enjoy the various mini-games, side content, and the whole story unfolding through the Lego game style. I think Traveller's Tales have really knocked this one right out of the park, and it's an extremely engaging game - there's a wealth of Star Wars fun to be had and I think it might just be the best Lego game yet.

    La formule est bien connue mais commence à être usée... mais après tout, il faut croire que le (très) jeune public ne désire pas autre choseLa formule est bien connue mais commence à être usée... mais après tout, il faut croire que le (très) jeune public ne désire pas autre chose et c'est sans doute bien dommage. Donc rien de bien nouveau sous le soleil Légo si ce n'est que cette fois, c'est adapté du film Star Wars Disney fort médiocre aux personnages très oubliables.

    La VF est de meilleure qualité que dans les autres jeux Légo cela dit et on remarque un petit effort de variété au fil des niveaux même si le principe demeure toujours le même, à savoir construire quelques machins préfabriqués et flinguer à droite et à gauche les sbires du vilain Empire. Graphiquement, c'est tout-à-fait convaincant en tout cas.

    La musique criarde qui reprend les morceaux les plus agités et pas forcément réussis vrille sensiblement les nerfs cependant... heureusement on peut lui couper le sifflet. L'humour pour sa part n'a pas changé et reste désespérément idiot, de même que la caméra qui devient fixe la plupart du temps et gêne à la fois la visibilité et la maniabilité.

    Le jeu est comme de coutume un collectathon de pièces Légo à ramasser, ce qui conjugué à une lassitude certaine qui s'installe un peu trop vite, nuit considérablement à l'intérêt général. Globalement, c'est comme le film, chiant, bêbête et trop limité.
