GAME REVIEW: LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Like LEGO? Like Star Wars? Well then, you're in luck! LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens was released earlier this summer. It allows players to relive the epic action from the blockbuster film. The game features all of your favourite characters (yup, BB-8's in it!) and story lines from the movie... all LEGO-style, of course. Want to know more? Read on to get 9-year-old Paavni's take on the new game.

What did you think, Paavni?

The gaming experience was amazing! I was already in awe of the new characters that were introduced in the movie, so I liked the fact that the game had the same scenes and characters. The game was quite easy to follow. Without any help, I was able to figure out how to advance to higher levels, but at the same time, it was quite challenging and kept me excited the whole time. It was interesting how you had to use your surroundings as cover to escape and defeat the First Order. And did I mention you get to fly Starships? The graphics were amazing, especially in 3D!

The best part? My favourite character, BB-8, had such an important part to play in the game. But it was good that you could switch characters during the game as well.

The only thing I did not like was that when you restart the game, you would not start from the place where you left. Maybe there's a way? I just didn't know how. Sometimes it was not clear to me what it is you are expected to do to advance further in the game.

I give this game 8/10. I believe kids 7 and up are going to love it! I got my younger sister hooked on it, too.

Game on!

Thanks for the review, Paavni! Anyone else out there hooked on the game yet?

Check out the game's trailer below. If you like what you see (or are just a big LEGO fan like many of us here at OWLconnected), you may also want to watch another trailer we posted earlier this week. Everything is awesome!
