Release Date: March 18, 2013
Another installment in the popular series of third-person perspective action games that uses the license of the popular LEGO bricks franchise. This time, the title is available exclusively on Nintendo platforms. The game takes place in a modern metropolis and its main protagonist, Chase McCain, is an undercover cop. His task is to find, infiltrate, and stop criminal operations, which he does in-style, Hollywood style.
LEGO City: Undercover is an action-adventure game created by Traveller's Tales studio. The production debuted in 2013 on the Nintendo Wii U, and after a few years it was ported to other platforms.
The main character of LEGO City: Undercover is Chase McCain, a police officer who returns to his hometown after a few years of absence. His main task is to apprehend his nemesis - a villain called Rex Fury. The hero starts working "undercover", infiltrating the mafia ranks from the inside. The plot is full of references to pop culture - a watchful eye will catch various references to Starsky and Hutch's adventures or Shawshank Redemption. The whole was enriched with a lot of specific humor , characteristic for Traveller's Tales productions.
LEGO City: Undercover, released on PC, PS4, etc., is an open world game inspired mainly by the Grand Theft Auto series. The titular city consists of twenty different districts, modeled on San Francisco and New York. We traverse this "sandbox" built out of bricks by driving various vehicles - cars, helicopters, boats, and even wheelchairs. However, the player can explore LEGO City on foot, using a simplified parkour system to jump over and bypass obstacles.
The game offers main and side missions. We take part in spectacular chases, police helicopter flights and other daring actions, taken directly from cult films from the eighties and nineties of the twentieth century. Because of Chase's profession, we often have to use a wide range of costumes unlocked during the game. Disguises grant the player special skills - for example, a miner's outfit allows us to break boulders with a pickax, and the criminal outfit provides the hero with the ability to open locks. Combat is another important element. McCain is skilled in melee combat - he can perform various attacks and counterattacks. There are also platforming elements - by completing them we can get collectibles scattered all over the city or gain access to secret locations. The game even has simple environmental puzzles.
Various activities reward us with studs and bricks - we can spend them on new vehicles or constructing special superstructures such as helicopter landings, hills, or sandcastles. These constructions are often required to push the plot forward. The whole is complemented by gadgets, such as an environment scanner highlighting interactive objects.
LEGO City: Undercover offers decent 3D graphics. Noteworthy is the vivid palette of colors and refined environment created from the titular bricks - many of its elements are susceptible to destruction and disintegrate into pieces in a spectacular way. The Wii U edition designed makes use of the unique gamepad functionality - the controller equipped with an additional screen can serve as the aforementioned scanner, camera and a handy city map.

Game Ratings for LEGO City: Undercover Video Game.
Hardcore Gamer: 3.5 / 5 by Sam Spyrison
As a children's game, LEGO City Undercover will surely entertain those of the proper age with plenty of witty wordplay and slapstick humor, as well as a varied open-world to cause chaos in by themselves or with a playmate.
Attack of the Fanboy: 4 / 5 by Dean James
LEGO City Undercover was already a great game when it released on Wii U four years ago and this new release takes that and tweaks it just a bit. The overall experience is a little smoother and the addition of co-op is a nice touch, and even though there's nothing substantially new here, those that missed out before will want to check out LEGO City Undercover this time around.
ZTGD: 8 / 10 by Ken McKown
LEGO City Undercover is a great game, and one many players likely missed on its first go-around. This is a prime example of a smart re-release. It also helps that each version is improved, and co-op is now an option. For anyone that missed this game on Wii U, there is no longer any excuse. Check out what I think is TT Games best effort in the LEGO genre.
