You may well have the gist of how this will go by now - the game takes the epic science fiction action of Star Wars' triumphant return to the silver screen and serves it up for you to play through with a blocky look and a healthy dose of humour, courtesy of developer Traveller's Tales. Join Rey, Finn, BB8 and favourites such as Han Solo and Chewbacca as they go up against the might of the First Order and the mysterious heir to the Sith, Kylo Ren. As ever, the action is a mix of platforming, action and puzzle-solving rendered in plastic blocks. While the classic LEGO play style is present and accounted for, however, some new elements have been thrown into the mix. 'Multi-Builds', for example, take sections where players have to assemble certain objects and give them multiple options so that they can play the way they want to play. And, for the first time, the game offers blaster fights. Players can duck behind cover or throw themselves into the open to exchange fire with stormtroopers. And, finally, there's the inclusion of flight. Players can get behind the stick of iconic vehicles such as the Millennium Falcon to take part in arena battles and space-based dogfights!

I recently got this game on release day at my nearest GameStop and I went here to see reviews. And they suck! This game is really good for the 3ds (graphics aren't on par) but it is a handheld version of the console game. The levels and cutscenes are the same but the chapters are broken into 3 small levels unlike console but if you're a fan of the movie,it's better woven than the console that takes a the level and make it all one level. But this game is good but there's no multiplayer which makes this a single person experience but you will enjoy this game! It is 100% on par with the movie (even the spoiler scene).

So furthermore,this game is so worth it and it'll make you keep coming back (no matter how hard you try to stop)

I've been playing video games since original NES at the age of 11. I'm not a hard core gamer but I still appreciate a good video game. This game is an absolute blast. My 8 & 11 year old daughters and I have been chipping away at the campaign now for 3 months. The spin on the original story is clever and very entertaining. The game has occasional puzzle like challenges but nothing that a quick google tip search cant get us through. It otherwise just let's you blast through the levels while enjoying the graphics, sounds music and story. There's enough depth to keep you replaying levels to explore and play with new characters.

this game is awesome. as a gamer for the last 22 years. I have played hundreds and hundreds of games, and as a family game/ or sit back and relax type of game. this one is great. I can play this with my little kids and not worry about them being scared or hearing things they shouldn't be hearing at their age. plus it's Star Wars which there is nothing else that compares to their story telling. great game for everyone.

It's just like playing on a console, and you can choose from the classic controls, to the newer touch screen. I have it for my wii, and it's one of my favorite Lego games. You can play through six levels, in six films, including (Star wars: phantom menace. Star wars: attack of the clones. Star wars: revenge of the Sith. Star wars: a new hope. Star wars: the empire strikes back. Star wars: return of the Jedi, and six bonus levels.) So if you like building with Legos, and playing Lego video games.Then you'll love it!
LEGO games haven't grown all that much over the years, adding small features or changes along the way (depending on what team worked on it). Ultimately, I found this entry fairly enjoyable as far as LEGO games go (and even as Star Wars games go, as of late), but there is always room for improvement.As with previous entries, LEGO Star Wars TFA follows the films story to set up the levels while taking creative freedoms when it comes to level design, missions, and character interaction. It makes for a refreshing take on The Force Awakens to hear the lines from the latest film (and, briefly, Return of the Jedi) taken in a new context with characters overacting, being goofy, and much more lighthearted than normal. It retains the charm of the LEGO name and stays true to ... MoreLEGO games haven't grown all that much over the years, adding small features or changes along the way (depending on what team worked on it).

It retains the charm of the LEGO name and stays true to the Star Wars universe (and the fan in all of us).The gameplay is still largely the same, with mashy combat, fairly simple puzzles (often requiring character switching), and a variety of set pieces to traverse. The biggest change is the inclusion of cover shooting sequences that turn the game into a mini shooting gallery to focus on scene on an encounter more. Largely it works, although sometimes it felt a bit gratuitous.Where things get funky is with how well the game runs and functions. With innumerable characters and vehicles to unlock, the free play list becomes a giant mess, and the dev team has yet to find a better solution other than a ton of similar-looking portraits occupying the entire screen. In at least.
I am a huge Star Wars fan and have loved previous Lego video games. So, I had to pre order this game. I have played about 20% of the game so far and I am really enjoying it. The graphics look fantastic for a Lego game. I love that you can now use the same pile of bricks to create different items. This is a nice change from previous games. The game also gives you a better look at Star Wars The Force awakens with more backstory and a closer look at different places such as Maz's castle. I will update this once I finish the game.
Similar to other Star Wars Lego Games, but with a twist.This time there are third person cover shooter segments, but very streamline for younger audiences as there's a very lenient auto aim, except in certain instances where you have to shoot key targets' weak point for massive damage. There's also air dog fights (similar to Star Fox) with auto aim enabled at all times.Aside from the two new modes, you also have your traditional over-the-top-view open world/level combat and puzzles mixed in. There's nice pacing the first few chapters, but during chapter 6 or 7 there's a long slog of puzzle segments. The puzzles are not that hard, but tedious when you do them in series (room after room). Each character have their own abilities like Ray can parkour, BB8 can hack ... MoreSimilar to other Star Wars Lego Games, but with a twist.This time there are third person cover shooter segments, but very streamline for younger audiences as there's a very lenient auto aim, except in certain instances where you have to shoot key targets' weak point for massive damage.

But older gamers may enjoy the story, characters and collecting aspect also. The combat as mentioned is very easy with no game over screen, as your character instantly re-spawn upon depleting their health; losing some lego bits in the process. This lego bits are collected throughout the game and are used to purchase characters and vehicles. None of which is required to complete the main game. Collectors and completionists on the other hand may want to get as much lego bits as they can as it's the main currency in th.
I have been a fan for a long time now, I remember getting the Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga for my birthday when I was younger and being so excited to play! And when this game came out in 2015, no difference. This game is an action packed adventure. You start on episode VII, getting ready to destroy the Death Star, playing as the awesome Han Solo, Leia Oragana, C-3PO, and of course, R2-D2. I love that you can drive the Millineum Falcon, Poe's X-Wing, and Tie-fighters. And the best part? The cast! Which includes Harrison Ford, Daisy Ridley, Carrie Fisher, Anthony Daniels, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Adam Driver, Gwendoline Christie, and Domhnall Gleeson (Who also plays Bill Weasley in the Harry Potter Series). Whenever possible I Always play Han. Who doesn't? He is ... MoreI have been a fan for a long time now, I remember getting the Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga for my birthday when I was younger and being so excited to play!

Whenever possible I Always play Han. Who doesn't? He is so cool, and there is a whole level for how he caught the Rathtars. The Lightsabers are a lot of fun and the blaster battles are just amazing, it makes you feel like you are actually there. And the X-wing battles are soooo much fun, especially with a friend, if you can, play this game with a friend, and you'll get even more out of this brilliant game. The game does have puzzles, which are fun and the building is taken to a different level then any of the other Lego games, allowing you to build multiple different things to accomplish your goals. There is quite a bit of Lego humor, which adds to the fun. I would recommend this game to any Star Wars or Lego Fan. I can't wait for Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga game. Thanks for reading this, have fun and May the Force be with you... Always.
