It's broken up into multiple districts each with its own distinct style and array of collectibles to find. Once you've completed the missions, you're free to walk (or drive) around Lego City. There are 15 chapters with multiple missions in them, making the amount of fun to be had akin to the lengthy side of an average Lego game. Chase may be having a tough time finding clues but at least he found a good deal on gasoline Last but not least, gold bricks are back which are awarded for completing various tasks as you complete the story levels and simply romp around the main city area in free play. Once a disguise or vehicle is unlocked, it can be accessed at special booths dotted around the city. Other than disguises, collecting vehicles is also a big part of Lego City Undercover and you're treated to 10 new ones here as well. This isn't the only thing you'll chuckle at as in pure Lego fashion, there's humour to be found everywhere you go with lots of downright silly one-liners and physical comedy. His overly enthusiastic vibe, silly lines and comedic timing make for lots of laughs. Speaking of funny aspects, the policeman Frank Honey is such a delight to be around. The fact that you can disguise yourself as a pretty lady but the character's voice remains that of Chase McCain is hilarious. This version in particular adds 15 new costumes, too. Chase better sharpen up if Sherblock Holmes is also on the caseĬollecting disguises in Lego City Undercover is a hoot with a huge array of costumes to find. Being able to constantly reference it while playing made it feel like I was really on the streets of Lego City holding a map so that novelty is unfortunately absent here. The main thing I miss is having the map on a separate screen. Not being able to decide when I want to use the X-ray vision to spot criminals hiding in buildings is slightly more restricting but it doesn't take away from the overall fun. Messages from other police folk will appear in the corner, the touchpad will bring up a nice big map, and you'll be prompted when to make use of the other tools that were available on the GamePad. When played on consoles that don't have a second screen, what would usually be seen on it is instead blended quite well into the HUD. In fact, it's the only Wii U game that I was honestly surprised by how well it was implemented. The Wii U version of Lego City Undercover made great use of the GamePad. I can't say that it affects the fun to be had because I can take or leave instructions in these generally basic games. Lego games have evolved over the last few years to have less guidance so the continuous onscreen prompts and arrows here stand out. Once you reach the waypoint, you'll basically be given step-by-step instructions on what to do in order to capture the next criminal. You'll be given waypoints on your map that you reach with any vehicle around you (including any car driven by a civilian). That's right you can drive your police car wherever you please on the streets of Lego City while taking down pedestrians and streetlamps as you like with no chance of being chased by the law. Lego City Undercover can be compared to the famous Grand Theft Auto series in its gameplay but told from the police's perspective rather than the criminals. A crime wave has hit with bank robbers and playful clowns running amok so it's up to Chase to take down each offender in the hopes of finding information about where Rex may be hiding. Rex isn't the only bad guy causing havoc in Lego City, however. As soon as Chase arrives, it becomes evident that he's not exactly a model cop as he quickly phones Natalia and uncovers her identity, endangering her yet again. Chase's girlfriend Natalia is in witness protection and he hasn't been back to the city in a while since he was asked to leave after previous events around Rex. □ I hope no dastardly criminals saw me change disguises just thenĬhase McCain was asked by the Mayor of Lego City to return to the police force to take down the notorious Rex Fury. │ Nothing causes more disappointment than hype so at Video Chums, we avoid hyping games prior to playing them for ourselves. What a difference four years makes! Let's see what Chase has been up to. Lego City Undercover is back after a short break with a new multi-console release complete with an even better-looking world and some new goodies to collect. Lego City Undercover is also available for Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Wii U Reviewed by Mary Billington playing a PS4 on April 22, 2017
