Lego Star Wars The Force Awakens

SCORE: 70

Family Friendly Gaming was provided a copy of Lego Star Wars The Force Awakens on the Playstation 4 in the traditional physical copy format. Which gives me hope on the future of the video game industry. Lego Star Wars The Force Awakens is based off the movie Star Wars The Force Awakens. There are levels in Lego Star Wars The Force Awakens that are not in the movie.

It took us just over six hours to beat the story mode in Lego Star Wars The Force Awakens. There are twelve chapters in ten areas. We can go back to five of those locations and play in an open world area. Each of the levels can be replayed in Lego Star Wars The Force Awakens. This is needed to reach the one hundred percent by taking in different characters to unlock all of the secrets.

The big new thing in Lego Star Wars The Force Awakens is multiple location builds. That means we have some bricks hopping around and we press the 'O' button to build. We can build in more than one place. Normally we have to build in one spot, use the newly created item, break it, and build in the other spot. This adds a new interesting layer to the puzzle mechanics in the Lego video games.

There are two kinds of shooter levels in Lego Star Wars The Force Awakens. We crouch behind cover, pop up and shoot characters. We can also shoot objects in that mode. Then there are the flying levels where we shoot objects and ships. Plenty of laser fire, and explosions in Lego Star Wars The Force Awakens. We also have the standard Lego characters fighting one another in certain areas.

Lego Star Wars The Force Awakens contains a fair amount of humor as well. The Storm Troopers talking about the shooting test is one of the moments that stuck with me. It was even funnier because I know how bad the Storm Troopers are in terms of hitting targets. Two family members can play Lego Star Wars The Force Awakens. There is even the drop in and drop out option which really helps.

We had fun playing Lego Star Wars The Force Awakens here at Family Friendly Gaming. Lego Star Wars The Force Awakens crashed on us a few times. We made sure to back up our save so the corruption problem did not hammer us again as it has on other Lego games. Previous Lego Star Wars video games were based off of three movies. I was worried Lego Star Wars The Force Awakens would only be about a third of those older games. Thankfully it was fleshed out to be longer than that.
