WTF The boats can feel more responsive than the cars. Despite some minor technical flaws, you’ll love exploring, building, collecting, and laughing.LOW Trying to find that second motorcycle wheel. There are loads of vehicles to drive and pilot, and the different areas of LEGO City feel alive. LEGO City Undercover is great to jump in and out of the campaign isn’t monumentally long, and there are lots to collect once you’ve finished it. Thankfully, the load times have improved (on the PlayStation 4 version anyway), and overall the game runs well, with updated visuals that make it feel like a recent release. There are some minor lagging issues, and some of the city will pop in and out for the most part, it’s a stable game, but there are some issues which really shouldn’t be there. It’s pretty great for your kids to jump into, and with the difficulty being relatively low, it’s well worth asking you son or daughter to give it a go. One feature not in the original game was co-op, but now you can have a friend jump in whenever you want. You can even play basketball, weightlift, and at one point, there’s even a puzzle maze you have to move to get the silver ball inside from point A to point B.
It never gets old, and although the combat remains pretty basic throughout, it’s still a lot of fun. A lot of the puzzles within the missions revolve around using a newly discovered skill, but they are implemented in many different ways, always attempting to mix up the gameplay. It’s not a tough game, and I think this is why it works as well as it does. As you progress, it gets much easier, and with all of Chase’s uniforms, you’ll find them with relative ease (40,000 may seem like a lot to build a dragon, but it takes five or ten minutes max). At first, building the ferry can take some time as you don’t have many abilities, but the police scanner will help you locate the Super Bricks throughout the city. Many of the missions require a certain about of bricks to unlock, and Super Bricks can give you 1.000 or 10,000 depending on the size. Along with the thousands of studs, there are also the Gold Bricks, Disguises (over 250 of them), and Super Bricks. It was always bad enough trying to collect all the studs in the franchise-based games, but this can be dangerous if you have to collect everything. Many areas of the game are also locked until you unlock the relevant skills and costumes needed, for example, being a miner will allow you to blow things up with dynamite, and being a robber will allow you to break into rooms or buildings with a crowbar.īeing a LEGO game means collectibles galore, and being an open world means a lot of collecting.

Once a mission is completed, these level areas are unlocked for free play, just like all of the other LEGO games by Traveller’s Tales. The missions take place within the city, but the areas they occur in have more to offer, and act as actual levels as opposed to sections of the city.
The world is nicely decorated, and eventually you’ll get to travel to every area of LEGO City. Tonally, it reminds me of the Naked Gun films, and the jokes are fairly similar, so if you appreciate that kind of comedy, you’re going to enjoy this. Your dumb friend, Frank Honey can get annoying, as he can be overly loud, but the way everyone calls him honey had me thinking about Darling in Blackadder.
It pokes fun at lots of different cop shows and police drama tropes as well, never failing to make you giggle to yourself.Ĭhase McCain is a fabulous lead character, reminding me of a mix between Frank Drebin, Lionel Hutz, and Ron Burgundy he’s a buffoon, but a loveable one. Without ties to any particular franchise, TT Games finally has a chance to create their own voice, and the writing is superb it’s laugh out loud funny, and the many pastiches will entertain the older audience, such as the great Shawshank Redemption scene with the record player, or the Matrix scene where Morpheus trains Neo.
Fast forward to over four years later, and Gods be praised, it found its way onto PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch. Obviously, plenty of other games came out, but I never forgot about it, and I always hoped that one day it would come to the current consoles. I never owned a Wii U, but when I heard about LEGO City Undercover, it almost made me splash the cash and by one – almost.
