Review: "LEGO City: Undercover" (2013) "Grand Theft Lego"

Our Honest View

When this game was announced I was very excited for it's release and unlike the game itself I'll keep the review short and sweet so I can keep playing.

And now that I've played it, I can truly say it is an exploratory game. The Lego games have always had a certain charm to them and undercover retains that and more. It stars super cop Chase McCain as he returns to Lego City after learning Rex Futy has escaped from jail.

The game easily coaxes you into the world with it's tutorial missions! The game's controls are tight and after 20 minutes or I was a pro at navigating the enormous city. To call the game world "massive"

is still an understatement! There are more than 17 districts to the world where the story takes place. Each area is FULL of side objectives that all unlock characters or vehicles that Chase can then purchase and use in the city.

All Lego games are known for having many characters to use, and with Chase's disguise system you can play as more than 200 people from the game world!

You can also create your own Lego disguise character to choose from just like the Scribbernaunts series. Each disguise you unlock gives Chase new abilities that allow you to access more of Lego city.

The missions of the story mode remind me of GTA's structure. The story moves forward by going to a mission point and completing objectives like arrests and free run segmants.

The missions are varied and introduce new characters and skills at a solid pace. However the game physics sometimes get in the way of trying to complete a simple objective. Nevertheless, after my time in the city, I left wanting more. Even though the campagin is well over 20 hours long I still wished for more.

Our Honest View gives Lego City: Undercover 9.5/10. This game is the defining reason on the list of reasons to buy a Wii U. Like all Lego games it lives up to the Lego Name and pushes the bar to higher levels at the same time. With a game like this nothing is impossible for Lego games in the future.

Replay Value: Infinte

• Lego Anything
• Grand Theft Auto (Mature Rated)
