The LEGO franchise is booming after very successful games such as LEGO Batman & LEGO Lord of the Rings. Now TT Games have teamed up with Nintendo for LEGO City Undercover; a brilliant sandbox-style adventure.Players assume the role of the charismatic hero Chase McCain, a famous LEGO City cop renowned for once capturing Rex Fury, a notorious criminal. Rex has escaped and is thought to be behind a recent crimewave that has plagued the city, so it's up to Chase to save the day. Key to the city: This is the largest LEGO game in the series and it's packed with intricate details As Chase, players are tasked with solving crimes and hunting down various criminals across the city. At his disposition are a variety of disguises that are collected as the story unfolds. Each disguise has its own benefits in solving puzzles and getting around the city. As a cop Chase is able to grapple and swing across gaps and scan clues to hunt for evidence or treasures. Early disguises include a Robber;
with come-in-handy crowbar and Miner; allowing you to wield a pick-axe and use dynamite. Each disguise is unique and equally useful in solving crimes and accessing hidden areas. Similar to other LEGO games you’re rewarded for replaying previous areas once new disguises are unlocked to obtain previously inaccessible rewards. The fact that LEGO City Undercover is a Wii U exclusive may come as a surprise to some, but it’s with the Wii U GamePad that completes the LEGO City experience. As you traverse the crime-washed city in one of over 100 different vehicles, colleagues will pop up on the GamePad with your next mission, update you with goings-on in the city or just for a chat. The Wii U GamePad displays the map of your surroundings and also the route you need to take to reach your destination. The GamePad is also used to scan the surroundings to spot hidden villains and can also highlight hard-to-find, large LEGO bricks. These new additions are the games second currency alongside the usual LEGO studs.
Hilarious: LEGO games are known for being funny but this is by far the most amusing Larger LEGO bricks are often hard to find or obtained via side quests or hidden areas whilst smaller bricks are collected from breaking apart LEGO items and can then be used to purchase vehicles that are key in Chase McCain’s progress in LEGO City. Humour has always been fundamental to the LEGO games and LEGO City Undercover has it in abundance. The game is filled with hilarious cut scenes, funny dialogue and famous voice overs with reference to well-known film characters. In tandem with the storyline this makes the experience of playing the game very enjoyable. LEGO City Undercover is the first LEGO title not to be shackled to a major film or comic franchise. This has allowed TT games to be more creative and it shows. This game feels like a natural progression for the ever-popular franchise and one that players of all ages will enjoy.Lego City Undercover is released on March 28.

Former Wii U exclusive LEGO City Undercover is to be freed from its shackles for a remastered re-release on a number of new consoles. Not only is it coming to Nintendo Switch, but it’s also due out on PS4, Xbox One and Steam. The current release date is spring 2017. There are a number of questions still to be answered. The original game was designed very specifically to make use of Nintendo’s twin-screened Wii U set up. In fact, it was one of the few titles to not allow off-screen play as the second screen was so heavily utilised. In bringing the game to other platforms, a lot of reverse engineering will be required. Also, speaking on Twitter LEGO has also said it will at some point reveal how it is handling the many Nintendo references that were scattered through the game. LEGO City Undercover was first released in 2013. It reviewed strongly, but being a Wii U title its commercial impact was limited. LEGO CITY Undercover is looking for new recruits on PlayStation®4, Xbox One® and Nintendo Switch™ in Spring 2017.
