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. 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

What happens beyond that is a mystery, but while the foundations of Lego City Undercover are worth building on the rest of it needs tearing down if there’s ever to be real progress.Reviewed by Mary Billington playing a PS4 on April 22, 2017
In that time the franchise’s release schedule has slowed noticeably, to the point where there are currently no new games announced and rumours suggest that Lego Dimensions might be coming to an end.
They’re still awful in this version, and yet are still an improvement on the Wii U version – where it felt like the packets of data were being hand-delivered by an arthritic snail.Įven with its positive changes Lego City Undercover doesn’t feel quite as special as it did four years ago, when it seemed to hint at a new direction for the Lego series in general. Another problem with the original was the incredibly slow loading times. Here though the frame rate is nice and steady, and most of the problems with object pop-in have been fixed. It’s pretty obviously shoe-horned in though, as the other character is just a palette-swapped clone of Chase and his presence is never mentioned by the story or needed for any of the puzzles.Īlthough it was never admitted at the time, the obvious reason for why there was never originally any co-op is because the game ran like a dog on the Wii U. In the Wii U version Lego City Undercover was single-player only, but these new editions – we’re not sure we’d go so far as to call them remasters – have a proper co-op option. Although the vehicle handling is as twitchy and unsatisfying as on the Wii U, which makes long distance exploration less fun than it should be.
It’s not exactly Zelda: Breath Of The Wild, but for children too young to play the real thing it is a passable alternative. There are no side quests in the traditional sense but each area of the city is awash with secrets and hidden extras, as well as hundreds of vehicles and characters to collect and unlock.

There are no guns at all (‘Stop or I will… keep running after you!’ shouts McCain as he pursues a perp), despite them appearing in most of the movie games. His police uniform comes equipped with grapnel gun, a robber disguise has a crowbar, the fireman has an axe and fire extinguisher, and so on.Ĭombat is simplified even by the standards of other Lego games, and never amounts to more than a one-button quick time event sequence. Chase spends much of the game pretending to be a villain, and so has access to a range of different disguises that imbue him with different abilities. The gameplay is still largely the same as all the Lego movie games, and although there’s a greater focus on the open world than usual there are still traditional linear story levels as well.
