LEGO Star Wars The Force Awakens

Varied activities and Star Wars humor suit portable collecting, with limited challenge beneath the charm.

This Vita adventure breaks a familiar film journey into approachable episodes of construction puzzles, combat, vehicles and cover shooting. Multi-builds give the same pieces different purposes, while hubs allow a break from following the story. Bonus chapters and routes opened by character abilities offer reasons to return. Much of the collection, however, means revisiting familiar stages, and basic enemies and mechanisms rarely demand elaborate decisions. Desert, snow and flight scenes retain a recognizable identity on the handheld, although short draw distances reduce the completeness of some views. Fixed level cameras and loose aiming occasionally make precise actions awkward. Players seeking portable Star Wars jokes and relaxed collecting have plenty to enjoy; those looking for exacting combat or sustained puzzle complexity may find the adventure too gentle.

Who it is for: Handheld players who enjoy Star Wars humor and relaxed collecting.
