Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens Hands-On Review - 12 Things You Need To Know

10. Even The Most Minuscule Element Is Accurate

One of the biggest elements about all the LEGO games is how, from Middle-Earth to Isla Nublar, the game world feels exactly like its source movie. This was a big factor pushed in the presentation, with multiple uses of the word "authentic" really hammering home how faithful to The Force Awakens the new game is. Playing it this becomes more clear - locations like the felled Star Destroyer and Nima Outpost are vastly expanded from their short appearances in the film, but every backdrop, panel and shanty building feels directly lifted from the film, helped no end by the use of John Williams' score. At some points, though, the attention to detail is so ridiculous it's amazing they have time to code a game as well; despite even the developers skipping it, every effort has been made to ensure that even crawl is as accurate as possible - it's in the right aspect ratio, uses the correct scaled font and even has a pinpoint accurate vanishing point.
