"Simply put, LEGO City Undercover is a blast to play. It's funny, challenging, and features tons of extra content that'll keep you busy for hours. Sure, it's got a few minor quibbles here and there but it's hard to dwell on them when everything else is so enjoyable." ... Read full review

"For the first time since Bionicle Heroes Traveller’s Tales didn’t have to stick to an external license, but could let their fantasy run wild in an open world. The result is a little shallow in terms of mechanics, but makes up for it with bucket loads of humor in the tradition of the early Zucker/Abrahams spoofs." ... Read full review

Edge Magazine

"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." ... Read full review

Its not only the most innovative wii u game so far, its also the best lego game ever. What we have here is an instant classic. It features a memorably funny story with impressive voice acting. The graphics are great considering that this lego game is an open-world experience. The wii u gamepad truly feels like a tool that enhances the experience. If this game actually does end up on the 360 and ps3, it probably won't have the unique features of the gamepad. The point is....GO BUY IT!… Expand

The city is huge. Tons of unlockables. Lots of main quests and side quests and missions MUST be replayed to finish the game with completion. This game gives the user lots of jokes and lots of content. I cannot think of anything I don't like about this game. Bought for Wii U originally and bought again on the Switch for the 2 player mode. Not a disappointment.… Expand

Don't assume that this isIf you like the concept of GTA, but don't want to be a "scum-bag" character, this game offers a great alternative. Don't assume that this is a "kiddie" game. Yes, it is a clean lego theme, but the writing is best appreciated by someone who grew up watching cop shows and action movies of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. There are tons of references to popular TV shows and movies from that era and the writing is as good as any that TT games has had.

Even after you complete the main story, it is actually very entertaining to go back and get every gold brick, red brick, costume, and vehicle unlockable that you couldn't get when your character abilities were more limited earlier in the game.

Yes, the screen loading times are very long but you just need to accept it and get over it. Think of it as a commercial break (like when watching sports) that allows you to go get drink or go to the bathroom and then you are ready for more great Chase McCain action. My only real gripe is that it does not support local multiplayer. If it had that as well, I would give it a 10.… Expand

The first ever Nintendo exclusive lego game surprises all of us with its uniqueness. You take part as a police man undercover, and ur missionThe first ever Nintendo exclusive lego game surprises all of us with its uniqueness. You take part as a police man undercover, and ur mission is so to find the criminal behind a lot of things. It’s an original story and not movie based. The story is really awesome and humorous, so is the levels they are all but unique and fun to revisit. The hub area is huge sadly it might look to realistic but it at least has a lot of lego like structures. However sadly you can only play as the main character, he changes outfits because he is undercover of course. But it’s sad none the less. At least the vehicle roster is awesome. Overall this game shares so much new and old and combines them to allow them to become a whole new lego experience. (4/5 Amazing Should Totally Give It A Try)… Expand

This game fails to understand what makes GTA so refreshing. This game builds an open world, but then fills it with invisible walls. TheThis game fails to understand what makes GTA so refreshing. This game builds an open world, but then fills it with invisible walls. The gameplay falls into a loop: Drive, puzzle, quick-time event, boss, drive, etc. The driving is dull, puzzles are repetitive, and bosses are simply pointless and dull. There is very little detail, and after 15 hours in the game, you haven't even touched 90% of a map, and there's no reason to explore this area. The unused areas are uninteresting unless you enjoy watching cars driving and people moving. Insane pop-ins and pop-outs, a button-bashing combat system, and overused humor.

I fail to find a redeeming aspect of this game.… Expand
