LEGO City Undercover (Nintendo Switch)

Product Information

FIGHT CRIME – Take down criminals with hand-to-hand combat or arrest bad guys using Chase's handy grapple gun and standard issue police handcuffs. I love the Star Wars universe, but I never thought that neither the original movies nor the prequels were great. In fact, I thought that both suffered from the same problems in many things like little to no explanation in some aspects, so- so dialogue, some bad acting and while maybe the prequels had more of these mistakes, the original ones feel slow and the action scenes are less intense and durable if you watch them again. Personally, I think the fanboyism and nostalgia is strong with the original ones and people just don't seem to admit that they fall flat by today's standards and in some aspects even then, since it's not like good acting was a thing until now. The effects of the original ones definitely hold up well as you said though, but that's not the only aspect that matters to make a movie hold up well.

I played it on 3DS and it was pretty good, but would probably be last place here. However, I don’t feel like the two versions are the same. a b c d e f Cork, Jeff (14 March 2013).

Overview

I don’t think this will ever be topped. Great characters, story, gameplay, simple yet fun level design, actually fun boss fights, and still the best hub world in a Lego game. After satisfactory technical advancements and the completion of other Lego video games featuring existing IPs, the first prototypes for Lego City Undercover were produced in 2010, with development beginning in 2011 after Nintendo approached parent company TT Games about developing for the Wii U. At the time production began, it was to be the first title featuring voice acting, and it was the first in the TT Games Lego series not to rely on a movie or comic license. The script, written by Graham Goring, made extensive use of parody and reference to both crime shows, and other movies and television series. The Lego City hub was based on multiple real locations. Nintendo was generally hands-off with the development process but would receive updates and suggest changes. I've been playing the game in portable mode only, and while it isn't the sharpest or prettiest of games, it looks and performs fine. No, the FPS is not silky smooth (it appears to be under 30fps in-game), but it is by no means "unplayable". It's just a bit sloppy, similar to how Watch_Dogs was on Wii U, except that Lego City doesn't have detailed environments or character models as an excuse for its performance. a b c d e f g "LEGO City Undercover Review".

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.

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. a b c d e f g h Kevin, VanOrd (29 September 2013). "LEGO City Undercover Review". GameSpot.
