LEGO City: Undercover Reviews
Hilarious and entertaining, LEGO City Undercover will forever remain among my favourite LEGO games. Chase McCain’s return to the scene of the crime is a welcome one, but, as an inadvertent downside, it also shows how far the LEGO series has progressed in the last few years. Its crime-ridden world is still an absolute blast to be a part of, however, and I hope that we’ll have another chance to chase down criminals in the future.
This was by far the most enjoyable LEGO adventure so far when originally released back on Wii U, and now it still holds up just as well on other formats, despite some lengthy load times between certain scenes. There is such a wide variety of tasks included in LEGO City Undercover that it challenges Grand Theft Auto, the series it clearly takes inspiration from, bringing the LEGO universe to the masses, delivering a slew of smart missions, so many extras to keep players going outside of the core story, along with the trademark LEGO humour.
Lego City Undercover is a solid offering from Warner Bros. and TT Games. It doesn't offer an experience all that different from previous Lego titles, but the jump to the Switch hardware does make it a step up from many other Wii U and 3DS Lego offerings. The game does suffer from some technical warts, but for those that never made the trip to Lego City, this is certainly the best way to experience it.
New LEGO City Undercover is not the best remaster of the original game. Updated graphics and co-op option is OK, but developers forgot to fix most of the technical flaws. If you have not played it on WiiU and you like LEGO, then do not skip Undercover. The implementation of game mechanics is still one of the best in the series, together with an excellent full translation into Russian language it can give you about twenty hours of wonderful experiences in cubic LEGO-world. On the other hand, the updated version does not add nothing really new, and if you played the original on the WiiU, you can safety skip the remaster.

I assume the upcoming games (such as the just announced Marvel Heroes 2) will return to status quo, but hopefully this remaster proves successful enough to warrant either a sequel, or TT borrowing another series' template and applying their silly brand of humor to it. A Lego FPS, perhaps?
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.
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.
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.
The Lego formula is starting to wear a little thin, and this game’s dated presentation, both visually and in the sound department, are not up to the standard that Traveller’s Tales themselves have already exceeded in other titles.
Lego City Undercover is a fun and entertaining game. If you love anything that's Lego and want to immerse yourself in an open world that comes alive and reacts to whatever you do, then this is a game worth playing. The amusement it provides is worthwhile and it's one of those games that you would love going back to. Lego City Undercover is Lego's answer to Grand Theft Auto and I can say that they definitely delivered. And the best part? You can play this with a friend!
LEGO City Undercover is a fantastic addition to any LEGO fans' Steam library. It's a ball of endearing charm and comes with familiar gameplay that ought to keep people busy well past its monetary value. Co-operative play is a great addition to the game and it really helps to breathe life into the adventure, maybe even for those who played it through on Wii U already several years back. It's a thoroughly entertaining experience that is wholly recommendable.
If you've enjoyed other LEGO games, LEGO CITY Undercover should definitely be on your radar, but for those who don't, there is nothing revolutionary from the previous formula that will make you change your mind.
Despite not having any licence, this Lego game has many funny references to well known movies. The gameplay is more on the casual side and it will keep you occupied for about 20 hours. Technical aspects of the game could be better, but they don't ruin the game by any means.

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 is an action-packed platformer filled to the brim with secrets and charm. Whilst the series as a whole has evolved - negating how impressive this was back in 2013 - you'll still find plenty to enjoy on its own merit.
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.
Lego City Undercover remains a unique game in such a sizable series.
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.

Lego City Undercover is in my opinion one of the funniest games in the series to date
My overall view on the game, personally, the story the way the whole game is, I absolutely love it, the world is vibrant, the AI is stupid but this just adds to the randomness that occurs within. I would recommend the game, I really would, however, be advised that there are some issues with the game which I hope are going to get patched.
