Pot

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.

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.

Metro GameCentral: 7 / 10

The definitive version of the hidden gem in the Lego games catalogue, although the formula is so overused by now it no longer feels quite as fresh as it did.

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.
