LEGO City: Undercover Reviews
Overall, LEGO City: Undercover doesn't quite stand up as well in its 2017 form as it did when it originally came to Wii U; series improvements have come in the years since that leave this one looking slightly dusty in comparison. There are also some technical issues that hold it back, with odd graphical blemishes - a pity as the updated engine is generally an improvement - along with performance issues in co-op and handheld mode.That said, played as a console game in single player, like its original, this still offers an easy-going and slightly anarchic fun time. The same crazy storylines, set pieces and scenarios are still here, as are the cheesy jokes riffing on famous movies. LEGO City: Undercover's case isn't quite as convincing as it was in 2013, but it still has plenty to offer.
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.
With such a fun story, great gameplay, and the ability to enjoy with a friend or relative, you’re never short of having a good time.
As a children's game, LEGO City Undercover will surely entertain those of the proper age with plenty of witty wordplay and slapstick humor, as well as a varied open-world to cause chaos in by themselves or with a playmate.
Overall, LEGO CITY Undercover manages to create a charming and humorous experience for all the family, with a definite old school cop show vibe in style, writing and soundtrack. It provides childish jokes and slapstick style to bring on the laughter, as well as cheeky parodies which are easily recognisable.
Apart from some technical limits on Switch, even today, after four years from Wii U release, LEGO City Undercover remains one of the best LEGO games ever.

This is one of the sloppiest porting ever made, full of bugs, crashes and framerate drops. This is especially unfortunate, because LEGO City Undercover is probably the funniest LEGO title ever made by TT Games. Our suggestion? Wait for a solid patch, a price drop or a sale.

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.
A bit more love and attention would have seen the PS4 version of Lego City Undercover receive the commendation it deserves, but its unresolved shady past has caught up with it.
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.
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 fun and unique entry in the franchise, although it would have probably been more enjoyable had it released back in 2013. The game's mechanics and appeal haven't aged all that well, and a full asking price seems quite unwarranted, but fans of the series without a Wii U will likely appreciate finally being able to play it.
LEGO City Undercover packs a lot of fun in a single Bluray disc (or downloand) for all to enjoy. It's the perfect family oriented take on the Grand Theft Auto formula, making it perfect for parents to play with their kids. There's plenty to find and a lot to do in this adventure, and I highly reccomend that you dive in and get losts in its world.
Lego City Undercover is a very enjoyable game for all ages and with a lot of possibilities, but it has some poorly used elements that could have been much better.

LEGO City Undercover was already a great game when it released on Wii U four years ago and this new release takes that and tweaks it just a bit. The overall experience is a little smoother and the addition of co-op is a nice touch, and even though there's nothing substantially new here, those that missed out before will want to check out LEGO City Undercover this time around.
From the hundreds of trinkets to the passersby's stupid comments, LEGO City has me smitten. I've finished the story and gathered a handful of collectibles, but LEGO City Undercover will stay in my Switch for a good long while.
LEGO City Undercover is a great game, and one many players likely missed on its first go-around. This is a prime example of a smart re-release. It also helps that each version is improved, and co-op is now an option. For anyone that missed this game on Wii U, there is no longer any excuse. Check out what I think is TT Games best effort in the LEGO genre.
This is the same Lego City Undercover we played in Wii U, four years ago, with the only addition of coop multiplayer. A fun adventure, which lasts more than 10 to 15 hours and have lots of collectibles and sense of humor. On the downside, it feels technically outdated.

If you have played many hours of Lego City Undercover on Wii U, it's difficult for us to recommend you this lazy port. It has nothing new to offer but a simple coop mode, a better framerate and a little bit more refined graphics. Our judgement might seems a bit harsh, but it totally changes if you're new to Chase Mccain's adventures. Because except a certain heaviness in the controls and the absence of a true liberty, the search for Rex Fury in the streets of Lego City is a real pleasure, truly funny and refreshing. In short, if this beginning of the year is absolutely amazing in terms of game releases, keeping a place for Lego City Undercover might not be the worst thing you could do.

Considering this game was originally released 4 years ago, it has cleaned up nicely, and its open world is still vast and impressive, even when compared to more recent LEGO games.
