Lego City: Undercover - Nintendo Wii U





Great Game -- Loading Issues Not an Exaggeration
As a gamer and an adult Lego geek, I am really enjoying the game. Seeing everything being built out of Lego's just like in the real world is a real treat for me. Lot's of detail and it's fun picking out all the real life buildings and pieces. The story and dialog is cute and I have actually laughed out loud a couple of times. Some folks have mentioned some disappointment in the graphics department but I feel the game looks pretty good. Perhaps my expectations were just set a little lower than some other reviewers but I feel the subject matter of Lego's is presented well graphics wise. Could it be better polished here and there?...sure, but nothing that is taking away from the game for me, and some game elements are actually quite impressive visually. I could go on about some other positive aspects of the game but feel I might just be repeating some other reviews. What I do feel I need to address is the loading times. Now reading the reviews and owning a lot of WiiU games,...

Best Lego game yet.
I have played every lego game there is to play. My son and I have enjoyed them all, although I really didn't dig the Harry Potter ones personally. But all the different Star Wars games, the Indiana Jones, both Batman, Pirates of the Carribean, Lord of the Rings. We have played them all. This is by far the best yet.
I have not played it, as the one draw back to it is that it is a one player game, but have watched my son play it. Despite that, the use of the WiiU controller makes up for it. He has used it as a map. He has used it as a voice scanner to find bad guys (and if you target someone who is not a bad guy, the voice is usually saying something funny). He has used it to scan the city for bad guys (rotating around the living room 360 degrees sometimes to find them. I think it's cool, and as a kid, he loves it.
Your character evloves as the game goes on. Instead of multiple characters that have different actions to go back in free play and find new things, the...

Another winning title from Lego!
I've always been a fan of the Lego series of games. I had high expectations for this game and it did not disappoint!

In Lego City: Undercover you'll be playing as Chase McCain, a detective armed with many disguises (each offering its own set of abilities) and a mission to put a stop to Rex Fury and his crime spree and restore peace to Lego City.

There's tons to explore and collect and I foresee getting many hours of enjoyable play out of this game. The graphics are what you'd expect from a Lego game and the GamePad is put to good use with the ability to use it for map viewing as well as a tool to spy on suspects and scan for items on the tv screen.

My main gripe about this game would be the loading times being longer than I'd prefer. I'm finding this to be the case with several Wii U games so it may just be par for the course with this system but I feel it's still worth mentioning.

Also, this game is single player. I typically play these...
