"What do you want out of a LEGO game? Smart level design? Humor? New powers or costumes? For that matter, what do you want out of an open-world game? Freedom? Sweeping vistas? The possibility (and probability) of carnage and mayhem? In steps Lego City Undercover, which promises both wrapped in kid-friendly gameplay and puns galore. The ideas here are strong, which makes it all the more unfortunate that Lego City is both a disappointing LEGO game and an antiquated, sub-par sandbox."
LEGO City Undercover may feature an open world, but it’s not overly comparable to Grand Theft Auto. It turns out that this was intentional.
worst justification EVER! it's a LEGO game...you know, where your imagination is the limit, but they limited the game mechanic for as hard as they can. don't get me wrong, I like the game, Platinumed it on the PS4 BUT the game has so much potential but they also put so many restrictions into the game, I feel all the time I should be able to do something but the devs decided that I can't.
oh and yes...the draw distance SUCKS in this game even on PS4. I can understand if it's ground-up made for the new-gen but this is a Wii U port, the PS4 should have no problem running rounds around this game but the devs just didn't care. tons of collectibles but most of the time, hampered by the terrible draw distance and texture pop-ins. and not to forget constant crashing, glitches, collectibles not registering, and trophy glitch...very frustrating! I had to do a 2nd run just to Platinum this thing due to the story trophy glitch! My advice, if you are gonna play this game co-op, the drop-in drop-out nature of the game will make you lose you chance for story trophies if you're not there from start to finish. the way the story mission is not setup properly to chapters is also annoying as hell.
Where is the sequel for this game?! So many believe this is the best lego game yet there has been no follow up. Did LCU not sell well? Are the licensed games more profitable? What gives?
LEGO City Undercover was a pretty big deal when it first appeared on Wii U close to a decade ago. It was planned as one of the system’s first major games, and was even published by Nintendo.
Game is amazing. Are there any other Lego games like it? The other ones I played were nowhere nearly as good.
Two games are leaving Xbox Game Pass before the end of January: LEGO City Undercover and Just Cause 3. If you’re interested in playing them, now is your chance!
Wow, terrible review. Who am I to believe, the 95% crowd that give this game anywhere from 8-9/10 or this guy who gives it a 2/5 (or 4/10).. ?
Where do these random reviews come from?
I like the game. It is fun, and looks great. I agree with the other reviews that rank it quite high 4/5 8/10. I do however wish the load times were faster.
I've been playing this game quite a bit. I'm enjoying it a lot. And my main complain, along with most people, is the load times. But, I don't think there are as many load screens as people make it seem. I disagree with this review though. I find it to be a real fun game.
This is the first bad review I've seen for this game, it looks like a fantastic game. I guess I'll find out for myself tomorrow.
Great game with the occasional long load times. Unique game! 8.5/10
