Since it is a Lego game, unlockables are plentiful across the open world, including different costumes, new cars, and special red bricks that give you special bonuses like extra racing missions and stud (the game's currency) multipliers. Still, the ‘70s cop-drama-influenced soundtrack is a good fit for the game, and adds some much-needed tension to the game’s action sequences. The music outside of the dialogue exchanges is lifted straight from the Wii U game, though highly compressed. Everything outside of those cut scenes have a stark lack of emotion, voice acting, or any type of sound outside of some ambient noise, so it is hard to care about anything. The writing, aside from some clever wordplay in the mission titles, is about as generic and literal as you can get. While these scenes are entertaining in their own right, I wish that same attention to humor, character, and charm was transferred over to the main game. You can't really use any of your special abilities against the enemies other than to stun them, so you're stuck with constantly tossing and kicking them, which gets old very quickly.īefore and after you complete those sets of missions, you're treated to a fully voice-acted and animated cutscene with Chase and anyone else that's involved with the specific area that you're in. After getting said abilities, you are sent on several missions that utilize the newfound ability, but quickly devolve into “Go to glowing spot and use ability” or “Go to glowing spot and beat up criminals.” The focus is more on combat, as criminals show up frequently and require too many hits to fully take down. For example, the Robber lets you break open doors and use a paint gun, the Construction Worker lets you fix electrical equipment and use a jackhammer, and the Astronaut lets you use a jetpack in specific areas. At the start of each chapter, you're given access to a new “disguise,” which gives you a special ability. The mission structure of the game is very basic. Thankfully, when you're doing a set of missions, it never asks you to venture outside of the neighborhood you're already in. Unfortunately, the game has to load each of the game's neighborhoods, which take up to two minutes to do so, making exploring the city more of a chore than anything else.

It's an open-world game in the sense that you can do the game's various missions at your leisure and are free to explore the game's city at your own pace. Chase is a rookie cop trying to make a name for himself in the Lego City Police Department. The Chase Begins is set two years prior to the events of the Wii U game. After completing the game, I can say that the game is very ambitious, but it's still a few bricks shy of a load. After finishing it, I was really excited to get my hands on the 3DS prequel, Lego City Undercover: The Chase Begins, and see where our hero Chase McCain got his start.

It has a huge city to explore that's full of activity, tons of collectables, and top-notch writing and humor.
But all gameplay videos must have the flair.Lego City Undercover for the Wii U is probably one of the best games I've played in a long time.
