When all was said and done, I found myself in a very good place. Being a fan of LEGO games for years, I knew I'd probably enjoy another romp through the tried-and-true with a new set of characters.

Like Darth Vader and Obi Wan Kenobi, things come full circle as the property that started it all serves up one of the more enjoyable entries in Traveller's Tales' ongoing LEGO franchise. Admittedly, some annoying glitches scuttle the experience at times. Overall, however, new mechanics combined with nice set pieces and the classic LEGO touch make LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens the best title in the series in a while.

Despite some of its problems, "Lego The force Awakens" is still a step in the right direction for the series, and is enjoyable for any "Star Wars" fan. It's a great way to revisit the excellent movie, or introduce a younger audience to the iconic series.

As authentic as it gets, LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens is 100% fan service. With new voice work from the cast, and the signature TT Games style, the only thing we can hope for in their next outing is a cleaner execution, and some new features to play with. The tried-and-true formula still works, but it's time to shake things up.

Filled with plenty of sly nods and knowing winks, LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens is not only one of the funniest LEGO games we've played, it's also one of the best. If you love Star Wars and you love LEGO, you owe it to yourself to snaffle this up like a hungry rathtar.

Overall, LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens delivers more value for your money than any of the previous installments to date. The set pieces are bigger than ever and there's far more varied content to keep you occupied rather than the repetitive puzzle solving formula. Easily my favourite of these 'modern' LEGO games.

Quite frankly, Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens may be the strongest title that Traveller's Tales has given us as of yet when it comes to adapting popular franchises. Providing fun, renewing and diverse gameplay, the game more than makes up for its length by the fact that what's there is just so fun to play. If there's one Lego game you're picking up this summer, you better make sure it's The Force Awakens!

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens isn't simply another movie licensed turned into a LEGO game. It's a beautiful opus for the LEGO series that shows that Tt Games isn't resting on its laurels enjoying the money rolling in. The developers have put a lot of love into the presentation, gameplay depth and overall experience to bring a top-tier game that should entertain both adults and kids. Kudos to them for keeping the series fresh.

Some neat additions but they're spread far too thin

Correlation of Star Wars lore as well as brand new information done exclusively for the game is well implemented. True LEGO charm, humor is hysterical and Chewbacca and his cookies are a must see.

Lego branded video games veer little from their gameplay formula with each new entry, so to say that Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens is one that should not be overlooked is a credit to the quality and faithfulness the developer delivered. The newly added elements are hit-or-miss, but the appeal easily spans generations, as is evident by the enjoyment both my son and I are having adventuring in a galaxy far, far way.

On the whole, Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a solid entry in the Lego franchise and although it's primarily intended for children, there's enough here to appease all ages, especially if you're a Star Wars fan.

One area that is absolutely flawless is the sound design. From the opening Star Wars theme… to the voice acting and more, LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens sounds so authentically Star Wars that it was easy to forget that I was playing a goofy game with LEGO

At the end of the day, it's a little hard to review LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens, because it feels less like a standalone game and more like a very robust expansion pack for the LEGO series as a whole. There's nothing wrong with the formula, and no reason to fix it, but if you've played one LEGO game, you've kind of played them all.

This is easily one of my favorite Star Wars games to date – and just imagine what these guys could do with Rogue One or Episode VIII. We're waiting…
