Lego City Undercover is like the Simpsons Hit & Run, but then made more kid-friendly, making this the second derivation from GTA. Similarly to GTA, the game has an open world that the player can mess around in, or they can do the story missions. The story involves undercover cop Chase McCain trying to catch an escaped criminal. If you’ve played a Lego game, then you get the general gameplay of the story missions, but messing around in the open world is where the real game is, like all GTA games and their derivatives. It’s an alright time, and I was glad to hear that it got ported to Switch, so a whole new audience of kids can experience it.

Played it on the Wii U, Switch, and PC. I keep coming back to this overlooked gem of the LEGO games. The city is so vibrant and detailed, the story is funny, the vehicle gameplay is the best in the series. It's memed as "LEGO GTA" but i feel like it undercuts the game. It's such a solid and replayable game and it's surprising that it was TT Fusions first attempt at a big AAA release, as they previously made the handheld ports of the lego games.

The original Lego city undercover is a lot better than the Chase Begins because beyond the main story, you were allowed to explore as much as you want. Also, they made good use of the Gamepad and I enjoyed driving around the map and crashing into stuff as a kid. The story itself is a lot of fun and is incredibly unique, also the cutscenes are hilarious and are some of my favorite parts of the game.

Mon GTA d'enfance. Bien plus réaliste qu'on le croit puisque tu peux tabasser des gens sans que personne ne te fasse rien vu que t'es flic. Bonus pour le DLC ou le but est d'ignorer et de classer sans suite le plus possible de plainte de viole.


GTA if it was good. I do think that ultimately the gameplay is a little simple and repetitive but it has too much of LEGO's charm and character for me to really care all that much. It's especially fun to just get lost in the optional content.

? the best lego game for some reason?

LEGO City Undercover is a silly game in the best way, I wish TT Games would do more games like this because the freedom to be able to write any story they want without it being tied to an IP makes for a lot better story and jokes than their usual games. However, I think I've just outgrown the LEGO game formula, as I found much of it is just too easy and not that fun to play, which is a massive shame as I've been looking forward to playing this for a while.

An absolute GEM of a Lego open world game.

Best LEGO game ever made. Sublime.

As a kid I was absolutely obsessed with this game. It scratched every little itch of what I wanted to be playing at that time being a detective game with limitless collectibles and things to do to feel like I would never truly finish it. Unsure how different it would feel to me now but was definitely a feature in my childhood

This game is actually surprisingly good. It's a pretty serviceable GTA clone. The driving isn't good but other than that most of the other mechanics are fun.

This game is surprisingly really good

mostly nostalgia, but i thought this game was incredible. best lego game ngl

If you practice chastity, do not play this game. Groups of beautiful people will begin to circulate around your location 24/7 after beating the first mission

please get the menu theme out of my head

This is absolutely the best Lego game. I don't know what they did, but the writing was never better. The humour is so stupid that it was impossible to not fall in love with this game. As a big open world fan I really liked driving around the world and just doing nothing. I think it is kinda sad, that Lego games peaked here and this will probably stay that way.

Never played much of it. Proves the lego games should be kept to established IP's


El mejor juego de lego! La historia es muy buena, tiene muchos guiños a obras clasicas, tiene muchos pequeños detalles que te hace pensar que lo han dado mimo al juego.... Una pena que no vaya tener una sequela y que lego no le haya dado mimo al personaje de Chase ya que originalmente fue un juego de WiiU y ya sabes lo mal que vendio esa consola... Dejando alado eso dale una oportunidad cuando este de oferta que costara unos 5€ por un juegazo!

Plusy: fajna fabuła, wielki i otwarty świat, długość rozgrywki, ładna grafika
Minusy: gra się kilka razy wysypała do systemu

Logging on behalf of my son. Comfortably his favourite game. Been playing it for six months now, and recently started a new game on a different profile. It does suffer from crashes, so I have knocked a star off, but he enjoys it so much he doesn't mind replaying any lost gameplay.
