This game is great not just for the men, but the women and the children too!
It's sad that we have to get good Star Wars content from a LEGO game.
I really liked it, even with me disliking the movie so much. Better than TCS, but worst than TCW.
I loved that it had levels that weren’t in the movie and instead were things like an adaption of The Phantom Limb or stories about Poe or Lor Sam Tekka that explain their actions that weren’t seen on screen. I also really enjoyed the multi-build mechanic too as well as just enjoyed exploring the hub-worlds and finding all the secrets. Plus there’s a level where you just fly around as the Death Star II and Starkiller Base and just blow up planets like crazy. Really fun!
The biggest problem with this game is how much filler material there is. There are so many levels and characters and vehicles that are trying to stretch the game out as long as possible, and that’s either boring or confusing. They’re trying to make a game from 1 movie, and that’s not a lot of source material to work with. I think the devs did a good job overall though making the gameplay fun while staying close to the movie. I can’t think of another movie as suitable for a full Lego game, to be honest.
It’s a very average Lego game in the sense that it’s not bad but also not fantastic - it’s just, average. I’d say buy it when it’s on sale. Overall though it’s fun enough, played it with the boys, played it with tha girl, recommend no matter who you're trying to peg that night, it's gunna be a good time.
Finally, I got nothing against Kylo but damn Rey is so boring.

The story levels:
Definitely some fun levels through the story it is really fun going through them and doesn't feel like a long time for me when you play through them all. It is nice that you can play free mode after you completed the level in story mode. It gives you the opportunity to find secrets in levels and to unlock all items/achievements that the game offers.
The achievements:
I love that every level gives you an achievement but you also have some harder achievements like completing the whole game 100% which is a little bit more challenging and will take you some more time. Makes it a little bit harder and gives you a great reason to keep playing the game for a longer time. Until the 100%
The graphics:
For a lego game the graphics are definitely not bad they are very good for only lego characters and a lego world.
The characters:
There are a lot of characters that you can unlock which is really nice if you recognize some from the Star wars franchise. It is also really nice that you can purchase some dlc packs to unlock more characters gives you more characters to play with through the game.
The game in general and would i recommend it?
I would definitely recommend it if you are into Lego games or if you are really into Star wars. It has many things to unlock and is fun to play through. You can visit islands to do missions which means you do not always have to do the story levels. It is really nice because you can go through the game at your own pace.

another fantastic lego game. there are a few bugs but not a huge issue. having already played the skywalker saga, i was worried some of the levels or content would be duplicated, or the game wouldn't be as fulfilling, but the levels were totally unique and were extremely immersive, whilst also having various missions in the open world to keep you busy. the game follows almost every scene in the film, there are 10x story levels + epilogue that directly relate to this film (7), but there is also a prologue which covers the finals events is film 6 which was a nice surprise. in addition, there are 6x adventure levels which you gradually unlock as you collect more gold bricks. the levels aren't specifically in the film, but are events that are mentioned by characters, so you get to see things from a new perspective. the rathtar hunting was my favourite level!
its also worth noting that 20 achievements relate to the dlc levels. there are 4x individual levels you can purchase, which have 5x achievements each, so achievement hunters may want to bear this in mind if you're looking to get 100%.

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens has to be the most fun, creative and reinvigorated Lego game I have played in YEARS. Comparing it to Lego Marvel's Avengers, The Lego Movie Videogame 2 and other recent Lego games.... LST:TFA shows the most affection towards its source material and sticks close to the dialogue from the film using all of this effectively. Below I will state why I think this is the best Lego game I have played in years and any issues I encountered, so, let's get to it.
Pros/Why it is the BEST Lego game in a long time
⚫So first of all, the game follows the film perfectly. While not rushing the player at all. So what I am saying is that the game is really well-paced.
⚫The game uses Dialogue from the movie REALLY, REALLY well. It is not over-used, stupidly loud or even bad (like audio issues e.t.c) it has been done to utmost perfection.
⚫The gags and goofs along the way really made me chuckle from time to time, and this... this is what Traveller's Tales has lost with most recent Lego games. In this game the WHIMSICAL love of Lego gags and goofs are amazing!
⚫The puzzles in this game and their solutions are STELLAR. Coming from Lego Avengers to this... felt like I was dreaming. Using BB-8s ability to open up a door, charge a generator and much much more felt unique. Using Reys staff to make "swing poles" and then using her agility to swing over... aw man... all of the characters abilities felt unique and fun to play.
⚫The game adds in this amazing mechanic, COVER-BASED shootouts that made me feel like I was playing "Gears of War" for the first time again. While doing this you are building up a special attack bar and based on who you are using, it gives that character a cool-looking unique attack.
⚫The game has FLYING levels which are pure fun and frantic! You can engage in open-air dogfights, air races and generally, mow down Tie-Fighters.
⚫Game had Z E R O performance issues whatsoever. No lagging, crashing, stuttering, freezing e.t.c... I was absolutely amazed with how optimised this game was.
⚫The game is filled with cute, smart nods to the Star Wars franchise which kept me playing till my 100%.
⚫You get secret missions which add on to the story which fill certain gaps that was left out of the movie. For example - Poe to the rescue, where Poe goes to rescue Admiral Ackbar. (there are so many more to mention but this was the most memorable)
⚫Has the amazing Star Wars theme and the Mos Eisley Cantina Theme that we have all known to love! (its a little secret mission for the Cantina Theme)
⚫Fantastic COOP! You are not left bored or useless as the "second player".
Cons/Issues?
⚫2 or 3 puzzle mechanics got dull and boring fast. Using an imperial trooper or resistance member on a terminal to make a "holographic stormtrooper" to enter a door. Using C-3PO to listen to "alien language" or even using him to make that alien language on a terminal.
⚫Not all DLC is included in the SEASON PASS. This really got on my nerves as I had to purchase extra DLC to 100% my game (all achievements).
My Verdict
LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens is probably the BEST Lego game I have player yet. I have had the most fun in this Lego game. The story is amazing with fun puzzles and dense levels filled with quips, gags and goofs to go along with them! What an amazing Lego game!
EDIT: LEGO® STAR WARS™: The Force Awakens did not take me 60.2 hours to complete 100%. My actual 100% playtime is 24.2. This was caused by an issue with my last PC that would not let me shut my game down.
9/10! Traveller's Tales, this is how you make a lego game! This game has the magic to go with it!!
