LEGO City: Undercover Reviews
The voice actors do an absolutely splendid job delivering the dialog – whether it's Chase McCain's tough demeanor or Frank Honey's silly quips, all of it is spot on.
It's easy to see why some would outright dismiss LEGO City Undercover purely on the basis of it being a LEGO game. The formula has gotten a bit too stale over the years, so if you're looking for something fresh in the LEGO universe, Chase McCain's adventure won't satisfy you. But if you're still interested in some brick hunting and cop action - and you can look past some awful load times - then LEGO City Undercover will serve you nicely. Its charm, humour, and open world nature was, for the most part, enough to win us over.
LEGO City Undercover is a slap-happy LEGO GTA. This 2017 remaster of the 2014 Wii U exclusive now introduces the originally absent co-op play, while also jumping onto the Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Easily my favorite LEGO game in years.
Having played all those other Lego games in the past, Lego City: Undercover feels like a retread, despite its solid design and mechanics. If you're a newcomer to the series, Lego City: Undercover will be loads of fun, especially when played with a sidekick in your living room. If you're someone who played the Wii U version or many of the games in the series and are looking for something new, however, Lego City: Undercover will likely feel like more of the same despite being one of the best incarnations of the Lego formula.
LEGO City Undercover for Nintendo Switch is an adaptation that succeeds in its main goals. This is an open world LEGO game that remains fun to play, with a very large amount of content to explore and even though it doesn't represent a revolutionary development compared to its original version, it's certainly a game that should be played by all those who haven't had a chance to do it before.

Like all Lego Games we have not a challenging experience on Lego City Undercover, but undoubtedly this is one of the most complete games on the franchise with an original story based on the famous toys. With all the classic humor of Lego Games, a varied city to explore and the new split-screen coop game, Lego City Undercover is still fun four years later than its original release.

Lego City Undercover is a five year old game that somehow is more innovative than recent Lego games. A reworked combat system and interesting open world help make a lot of fun, as does a hilarious story. It just needed some trimming of the filler and cutting down on the load times.
LEGO City Undercover, like many games exclusive to the Wii U, is an undiscovered gem. I’m happy Warner Bros. and TT Fusion decided to update it for a new audience. The story is laugh-out-loud funny, full of witty one-liners and fantastic movie references for kids and adults (“Compupers!”). While the co-op feels very tacked-on, and the loading requires a bit of patience, it’s a worthy addition to the LEGO universe.
Successfully making the leap from the Wii U four years since its original release, LEGO City Undercover is still a fantastically fun and exciting open-world adventure.
Lego City Undercover is a comical, open-world adventure set in a Lego world that doesn't borrow from other franchises. Despite the warts, it's easy to get yourself lost in its whacky tale.
Standard LEGO game without popular franchise, but with almost perfectly polished gameplay. Some technical problems here and there don't change the amazing experience, which Undercover makes.

All in all, Lego City Undercover is a good deal of fun that players from all ages will be able to enjoy. While the game is nothing challenging or revolutionary, it is nice to see a game as kid-friendly as Lego take tribute from a series that meant for adults. The overworld is large enough to where players will always have something new to discover while going after the criminals led by Red Fury. Undercover might be too easy of a challenge but that doesn't take away from the overall wonderful experience players will have going through this delightful world.
Pick Lego City Undercover up... if you're the type to enjoy the Lego things in life that is.
With improved performance and the addition of co-op gameplay functionality, Lego City Undercover is elevated to the status of one of the better, more fun modern day Lego titles.
‘LEGO City Undercover’ uses LEGO's classic aesthetic to provide an open environment, entertaining characters, and gameplay conducive to both building and problem-solving. This energetic game easily has the potential to appeal to players of all ages.
Lego City Undercover is a worthy addition to the Lego franchise, especially now that is has a multiplayer option. Homewever, technical issues and stale gameplay hold it back from glory.

LEGO City Undercover is an original, hilarious, and action-packed adventure that provides ample freedom and endless activities. It is apparent, however, that despite its revolutionary features back in 2013, the remastered version shows that many elements need retooling to be on par with current LEGO video games.
I feel like Traveller’s Tales is going to be hard-pushed to outdo themselves on another LEGO game that feels as enjoyable to play as LEGO City Undercover.
