Both types of flying style stage are tons of fun it's no Rogue Squadron, but a quick paced fun addition none the less. Some of these are free flying battles, but some are on-rails, such as taking on the Starkiller in a sequence reminiscent of the old Death Star trench. There are also plenty of space combat battles, like X-wing-on-Tie Fighter dogfights above the forests of Takodana, or flying the Falcon through the Star Destroyer wreckage of Jakku. The combat gets a new addition too, with some new cover shooter sections, which are simple and brief, but an enjoyable addition. It's not yet utilised to its fullest, but it's clear this will be a major gameplay feature going forward. This entry adds some new features and stages, puzzles have a new "multi build" feature that gives different options on what to build at numerous points, these builds can then be destroyed and other choices built. This fits perfectly with the source material, making for many funny moments, like, for example, how Kylo Ren's sulky moods and tantrums look even better as he trashes his emo kid bedroom, or an entire stage which is dedicated to Rey, who uses force suggestions on her Stormtrooper guard while they banter. It lends itself very well to the LEGO formulae, with each of the major plot points transforming into stages, altered slightly to include the series signature humour. That being said, the storytelling here is far superior. It makes sense to have numerous smaller hubs in this way, considering the Star Wars setting with its numerous planets to traverse, but it can't live up to the superb high bar set by Marvel. The Force Awakens goes with the familiar hub areas outside of levels instead of a single open world. The fundamentals of the gameplay remain the same: trek across stages destroying blocks, and building others whilst completing simple puzzles. This is the 5th instalment of a LEGO Star Wars title and TT Games has had plenty of time to perfect it, even managing to make something great out of the prequels! Anyone who's ever played a LEGO title (and it'd be tricky to find many who haven't these days) knows what to expect here. The formulae of the LEGO game is tried and tested.
