LEGO City Undercover (Nintendo Switch)

Product Information

Has Ocarina aged well for it's time? Yeah, it's the 3D game that aged the best from the N64 era and it's gameplay is still great, not timeless, but the only 3d game from the N64 era that holds up to this day. Of course graphics aren't everything, so let's talk about gameplay: At it's core, Ocarina of Time is top notch, however of course the mechanics feel a bit simple compared to to today's games. Don't get me wrong, it's still quite a a fun and polished game which is the mot important aspect of a game. It's quite impressive that the game plays better than some games that were influenced by it. a b c d e f "Test: Lego City Undercover (Action-Adventure)". 4Players.de. 22 March 2013.

The big change here on Switch, though, is the ditching of dual-screen play - in the original Chase had an in-game tablet that looked awfully similar to the GamePad, and the second screen was a rather charming always-on display. That's gone, of course, though Chase still has his tablet; in truth the second screen isn't really missed here. You now use the D-Pad (or the left Joy-Con's equivalent of it) to answer calls and they pop up on the TV, and there's a map screen along with 'scanning' on the TV. In 2013 much was made of the GamePad as integral to the game, but in practice it's not a major loss. In LEGO® CITY Undercover, players become Chase McCain, a police officer who goes undercover to hunt down the notorious – and recently escaped – criminal, Rex Fury, to put an end to his city-wide crime wave. This open-world LEGO adventure allows fans and newcomers to explore the sprawling metropolis that is LEGO® CITY with more than 20 unique districts to investigate, filled with car thieves to bust, vehicles to navigate, mischievous aliens to capture, hilarious movie references to discover, lost pigs to rescue and of course, hundreds of collectibles. With 15 special assignments to conquer, LEGO CITY Undercover brings together witty, original storytelling with signature LEGO humor to create a fun-filled experience for players of all ages.

Look at the 2d games from the SNES and look at those again, and tell me which stands against time better.BE A MASTER OF DISGUISE – As a man of many talents, Chase McCain has eight disguises to choose from, each with unique skills and abilities to infiltrate every corner of the city, allowing him to access places a regular old officer can't. The cutscenes are long and annoying though as I generally despise Hollywood films (and the cutscenes/performances etc. are all very "Hollywood"), but the game itself is enjoyable for the most part. I haven't tried co-op yet, but I'm sure that it will be quite fun. Concepcion, Miguel (14 March 2013). "Lego Plays with Its Own Toys". GamesRadar. Future Publishing.

That's a shame as, despite the somewhat faded open-world tropes and pop-culture gags that are now a few years out of date, this is an enjoyable, sizeable and worthwhile LEGO experience. After enduring a bit of co-op and portable play for review purposes, we had a far more jolly time playing this on the TV. It's a humorous and quirky game that embraces the silliness of LEGO, and while its writing is still a tad messy it made us smile plenty of times.
