LEGO City Undercover

This is another rare game that’s far too good to be trapped on a Nintendo system.

Lego City Undercover is a surprise you don't want to miss. Smart use of the GamePad, a colorful sandbox world teeming with things to do and a clever, humorous story make this one of the best reasons to own a Wii U.

It takes the traits of what made the Travellers' Tales LEGO games so well loved in the first place, such as the good-natured humor, and it does so without a license as a crutch. The story is good, but it is the multitude of activities that really makes this title shine and gives you plenty of reasons to explore every nook and cranny after Rex Fury is behind bars once again.

A hugely enjoyable open-world adventure which shouldn't fail to raise a smile. It would be criminal to ignore it.

On the whole, Undercover is the most polished LEGO game I’ve ever played. The humor, while often hokey, works alongside the gameplay in a manner that makes the game charming for its long campaign. LEGO City Undercover isn’t the game to save the Wii U from its recent dearth of games, but it is still a solid, fun romp for anyone who has an affinity for LEGO games.

Lego City Undercover borrows heavily from Grand Theft Auto IV, and mixes it with the fun gameplay we know from other Lego games. It's great fun to explore Lego City and the plot has some really clever twists that will keep you interested throughout the game. It's time for Traveller's Tales Games to come up with some new puzzles, though.

But for parents and adults, Undercover is a less inviting prospect, even with its satirical undertone. It’s a plastic facsimile of GTA – a game that was hardly humourless to begin with, and one that has already spawned a genre’s worth of more sophisticated rivals and clones.

This was the first game i played on my first ps4 so of course I have nostalgia of playing this with my brother. And up unito a couple of months ago we came back to the game for some good time together so when i found out my saves were corrupted and i could no longer play that masterpiece, it broke me. So bias aside i played games of these Types like GTA and Watchdogs and I can say this just takes this kind of open world games to another level. Even after finishing the story, going around collecting all of the golden cubes and skins takes an ungodly amount of time but it’s worth it. If you haven’t already, play this with your buddy, it’s gonna be a blast. Definetly best lego game OAT.

Lego City: Undercover is an enjoyable and adventurous game that had me laughing and engaged throughout. However, there are a few missed opportunities with the open world, as some locations feel empty and lack excitement. The gameplay experience was slightly hampered for me by the repetitive music and long loading times. Additionally, the game's difficulty level could be a bit higher. Nonetheless, the game shines with its humorous main story, appealing graphics, and excellent multiplayer mode. I want to clarify that while my review may sound critical, I genuinely believe the game is quite good!

Slightly enjoyable game. Levels are very easy. However, for a kids game, it was relatively good.

One of the worst games I've ever played. Terrible for young kids due to difficulty. Terrible for 2 players due to the side-by-side screens reducing content by 50%. More confusing than any GTA or Dark Souls game, and super janky with terrible controls and such a slow camera angle. The story is trite, and the jokes are lame. There's nothing interesting about this game. It's just a really bad GTA-like with horrible controls. And it's super buggy. I encounter a crash every 2-4 hours.

Load times are brutal. They are VERY long and quite frequent. The game seems to be mostly built around a 'story', so I was left watching a good portion of the game while these little lego people made jokes and wise cracks, we're talking puns and trip-falls. Entire cut scenes will take place where you just walk into an elevator or something will happen that will be completely irrelevant to the plot. You spend the whole game just following around beacons and icons, making the story completely irrelevant. The game starts with EVERY element locked, even the ability to use your gamepad properly. You HAVE to play through the very boring and monotonous story. The gamepad is used well, I'll give it that. You get calls, and the audio and video come out of the pad (but go to the TV if you have your gamepad turned down really good work on that one developers). All and all this game is trivial easy and clearly written for the maturity and complexity level of children. If you have kids, this game might just be one of the better experiences out there, but we're talking very young children. Adolescents are not going this game interesting.
