LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Reviews
LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens doesn't break any new ground like LEGO Star Wars did.
LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens is another good LEGO game, with delightful graphics and sounds. Gameplay, however, is not always engaging.

If you still enjoy TT Games' Lego series, or if you want to bring a younger gamer into the fold, Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a solid entry which helps to bring some lightheartedness (and new story content) to the film off which it is based.
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…
This is definitely a game for fans of any age. There was a lot of love put into it with great detail to its gameplay design.
At the end of the day, LEGO games are all about that compulsion for destruction and collection, very clearly notating completion percentage to let you know that there is still stuff to do. Of course we can't forget to mention the LEGO charm, keeping things lighthearted and silly when the source material may get too dark. LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a solid LEGO experience — certainly in the top tiers as far as LEGO games are concerned — but still just a LEGO experience that isn't looking to change the status quo while bringing the heart and soul of a critically and commercially lauded film to your console, brick by expected brick.
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.
Rather than coming out right at the release of the movie itself, LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens has arrived at the perfect time for fans to not only relive the events of the movie, but do so with that signature LEGO style.
Warner Bros. has done what we all wanted EA to do: create a genuinely fun Star Wars experience that honors the beloved universe. LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens is incredibly fun and it's jampacked with easter eggs that'll make any fan smile. The game is full of charm and witty humor, the story is great, the levels and puzzles are terrific, and the new gameplay mechanics add a lot of much needed diversity.

An average action game saved by a charming sense of humour and an intoxicating sense of fun.
As a Star Wars and LEGO fan, I found it extremely hard to dislike LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens. But, after playing through it in its entirety, I can't help but feel robbed of my money. Sure, the game includes a physical set to build Poe's nifty X-Wing, but that's probably where you will have the most fun. If there was an option to jump to lightspeed to the end of the game, even that ride would be too short.
TT Games' signature humour makes this otherwise predictable building brick adventure worth a spin – especially if you have a kid with whom to play
The Force Awakens' is Star Wars at its brick-busting best.
Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens is amongst the best games from either franchise. While the story of a single film has been noticeably stretched out, there's still plenty of content here for fans to enjoy, and the new additions to the Lego formula help to keep things fresh despite so much familiarity.
So if you're looking for your fix of Star Wars, Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens might keep you occupied. Unless you've played any game in the Lego series prior to this. Recommended for die-hard Star Wars fans and newcomers to Lego games only.
The Force is clearly strong with TT Fusion.
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.
Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens could, and should, have been a very fun addition to the Wii U library, but technical issues impact what fun can be had. This obviously is a lazy port to the Wii U, and it shows from the moment you boot up the game.
LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens is LEGO at heart, with some changes made to the core combat and puzzle-solving nature of the games.
Aside from these bothersome technical hiccups and an overall feeling that what's here would possibly be better suited to a trilogy-spanning release (or at least waiting to include content from the upcoming Rogue One film), Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens is an infectious joy. The franchise-in-Lego concept is a little long in the tooth at this point, but for those who have taken a break from TT's nostalgia-baiting charm-fests or anyone who classes themselves as an ardent Star Wars-aholic, there is more than enough block-busting action and nudge-and-wink chortles here to please both young and old alike. May the force be with you Timmy, this one's for you.
