Product Description
LEGO City vehicles and play sets come to life in LEGO City: Undercover, exclusively for the new Wii U console.
Players assume the identity of Chase McCain, an undercover detective armed with many clever disguises. The mission is to put a stop to the fiendish Rex Fury and end his crime wave in LEGO City. As players run, drive and even fly through the city, they'll use the Wii U GamePad controller as a new police gadget.
LEGO City: Undercover for Nintendo Wii U features:
- The Wii U GamePad is woven seamlessly into the game-play experience. Players use it to scan for hidden clues and criminals, receive mission updates and place waypoints on an overhead city map that displays their position in real time.
- Experience LEGO City like never before. Familiar play sets come to life as you explore the vast city, looking for clues to bring Rex Fury to justice.
- Players can go undercover with a variety of disguises, including a firefighter, a construction worker and even a robber, and use their unique abilities to solve puzzles and access new areas of the city.
- There are more than 100 vehicles for players to collect and use to explore the city, including sports cars, motorcycles and even aircraft.
- LEGO video games are known for their humour and parody, and LEGO City: Undercover delivers this with fully voiced characters and ambient crowds to bring LEGO City to life.

Having watched the trailers and webisodes for weeks, now it's finally here. Assuming you've played previous Lego games before (Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Harry Potter etc) then you know the basics of the gameplay already - collect studs, solve puzzles, enjoy the humour and build stuff. The only crucial difference between this and prior games is that there is no two player or single player tag teaming two characters: everything is controlling a single character at a time.This doesn't make as much of a gameplay difference as you might think.
The graphics are a treat on the Wii U with superb voice acting and the classic Lego game humour is intact. My 6yo has had no problem playing through the first few levels unassisted, enjoying having the in game characters talking to him via the Wii U gamepad whilst he controls Chase McCain on the TV.
If you have a Wii U already this is a no brainer. If not but the Lego games are your thing, this Wii U exclusive (for the moment at least) adds to the case for buying one.

Very much like GTA and the Simpsons Hit and Run, Lego city undercover is an open world game. The main story is based in chapters, each taking about an hour with 15 chapters in total. However there is much more than the story mode to play in this game. All over the city there are things to build, discover and do, so if you want a laugh-a-minute, action packed, lighthearted game that will entertain you for hours, buy this one!

If, like me, you have played the other Lego games out there, such as Batman, Harry Potter or Star Wars then this is going to look and feel quite different. Putting aside the HD graphics that take full advantage of the Wii U platform, this is very much an "open world" game, as oppose to the more linear "story" games of previous Lego incarnations. As an example of the fundamental difference, in Lego Star Wars you would select a mission from a back room in the cantina, or Lego Pirates of the Caribbean from the harbour. In Lego City Undercover, you use your map on your controller display to select the mission and then you have to travel there. You can do this by running, or jumping (what my 9 year old calls bouncing!) or you can use one of the many vehicles from around the City by leaping in fron of it and blowing your whistle. One look at your badge, and the driver vacates that vehicle leaving you to drive it. And all the vehicles are different, some are fast, others slow - some a difficult to steer, others easier. If you crash, you lose bricks until eventually (if you keep crashing) your vehicle breaks and you need another one. If you fall off the cliff road into the sea, you don't get put back on the road, you have to figure out where the path is to get back to where you were. You can go directly to missions once unlocked in Free Play.
You could spend hours driving around the enormous City just doing what you want. There are little bonuses to collect if you choose to do so. It is very immersive and detailed.
Once you decide on a mission, and enter it, the gameplay feels a lot more similar to previous Lego games.... Read more ›

This is a great little game which showcases the wii u perfectly.
Some excellent film nods that make me lol, my 6 year old can't understand what I find so funny which is fun in itself!

High production values, great stories, fantastic fun and genuinely laugh-out-loud dialogue. As an experienced gamer I'm really enjoying it, and my daughter is loving it too. Makes great use of the game pad.
Load times - a little annoying to start with but don't let them put you off buying. Once loaded the game world is absolutely massive and free roaming. I can't see how the developers would get around this without lots of smaller data loading times which would break up the gameplay.
No two-player - yes two-player would have been nice and we have been spoiled with other Lego games, but we tag-team the game play as I like the driving elements and my daughter likes exploring and solving the puzzles. Use it as a lesson in taking turns!
Not a massive challenge for experienced gamers but that's not the point. It's just good, simple, non-violent fun. Will keep you entertained for a long time (we're ten hours in and have just scratched the surface) and has huge replay potential.
A must buy if you have a Wii U.

This is by far the best game on wii u. It's funny, fast and really imaginative and I believe TT games really have something special here. I am really hoping for a sequel. The overall gameplay is easy to pick up and the storyline is an absolute blast. The characters are funny and driving through lego city in between missions is amazing. There is so much to explore. There have been some complaints on the load screen times, but I think is down to there being so much packed in the game and they really aren't that long or frequent at all. Yeah, if your used to super fast load screens, you may find these a little annoying, but it doesn't take away from the awesomeness of this game. I would recommend to anyone who wants to have fun.
