LEGO City: Undercover Reviews
An often-forgotten gem of the Wii U library gets a new lease of life on its successor, and it marks a perfect stopgap between the majesty of Breath of the Wild and the carnage of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe later this month. Minor framerate issues and higher price tag aside, LEGO City Undercover ranks as one of the very best LEGO games and an ideal portable companion.
Lego City Undercover is one of the best Lego games released on the current generation consoles. It is full of humor and offers a memorable local co-op experience that shouldn't be missed if you are a fan of Lego 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.
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 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.
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.
If you missed LEGO City Undercover the first time around and enjoy this unique brand of adventure gaming, know that this release is one of the most entertaining and original LEGO games in quite some time.
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.
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.
Lego City Undercover remains a unique game in such a sizable series.
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 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.
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.
LEGO City Undercover is a solid LEGO game that does something unique and different for a series that typically just uses existing franchises for stories.
Lego City Undercover is a very fun game that keeps its gameplay very simple. We can recommend this game to anyone who recently started playing video games, to parents to play with their kids or to more serious gamers, who want something relaxing to play during some inbetween sessions.
Despite the sense of familiarity returning gamers will feel, LEGO City Undercover is still a lot of fun to play. LEGO City is a joy to explore, the story and characters are great, whilst the gameplay still remains a lot of fun. You can always count on LEGO video games to offer a lot of fun and it’s a trend that has continued here; just don’t expect to see anything fresh outside of the open world experience.
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.
Lego City Undercover is in my opinion one of the funniest games in the series to date
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.
This is family gaming at its finest and caters to all ages with ease. If you are looking for an open world title that is suitable for everyone in the house, look no further.
