    Lego City Undercover is a decent game, although not the best as far as the Lego franchise has put out so far. It offers up some family friendly chuckles, and will keep you occupied for a while.

It offers up some family friendly chuckles, and will keep you occupied for a while. If you're under the age of 10 or a very casual gamer you'll definitely enjoy it. However, it does serve up plenty of annoyance. The vehicle handling is absolute garbage, an open world style game should have free camera control, but this does not, the fighting is way over simplified and leaves you feeling bored. The lack of options to adjust game play is frustrating. Multi-player is aggravating as when one person orders a vehicle it makes the other player freeze, and restarting challenges will make the other players vehicle disappear if they are in one. All unlockable characters (not just disguises) are voiced by Chase, spouting out the same 5 phrases which was disappointing, repetitive, and really just lazy on the part of the developers. After you beat the story there's little to no replay value as its just a drawn out grind to get arbitrary abilities, items, or achievements. On the plus side it is very fun for small children and easy enough for a 5 year old to beat. The paint gun was a terrible idea, and the fireman's water gun is a nightmare to use. If you're a gamer playing this with your kid, prepare to feel frustrated. There are definately better Lego games out there, and if you're looking for something styled like this the Lego superhero games are far better. With only a few classes it gets old fast once you realize you're hunting to unlock characters that have no special talents and all voiced the same. Mindless entertainment? Yes. But this game doesn't stand up against other Lego games. If you're a Lego fan you'll probably enjoy it, otherwise I'd say rent, don't buy.… Expand

    Fun game and all but janky unresponsive mechanics really set the game back. Story is predictable and one dimensional as you'd expected for a kids game.

    Overall a fun kids version of GTA.    … Expand

    Приятная игра с веселым юмором. В кооперативе играть вдвойне приятнее.

    Without a doubt one of the weaker Lego games but there is still some fun to be had.

    A great Lego game. It’s GTA Lego. The gameplay is fun and the animations are charming.

    Don’t put out an APB on what is a hilarious yet technically flawed Lego adventure. Apprehend it for little ‘uns at a reduced price. [June 2017, p77]

    Of all the many Lego games, this is the most distinct and enjoyable. [June 2017, p.84]

    It’s fortunate that this game finally made its way to other platforms, as it’s one of the best entries to the LEGO series, with a cool open world, a fun story full of humor and cultural references, simple but satisfying co-op mode and surprisingly good character animations. [06/2017, p.55]
