As long as you're cool with waiting for it to load, LEGO City is a cool place to be.

Extremely well polished; Great presentation; Lengthy; fun campaign; Lots of collectables

Shallow gameplay and exploration; Stupidly long; recurring load times

Lego video games are huge here at Family Friendly Gaming. So we were all very stoked to play and review Lego City Undercover. So much so that I was willing to pay two and a half times what I normally spend on a video game. I was worried that Nintendo may have injected too much input into this game.

I remember when the Wii U wasn't even announced yet that there was some excitement surrounding Nintendo's next console. One of the first games to be announced for the Wii U, LEGO City: Undercover was a game that I knew I would have absolutely no interest in.

My son played this at a friends house and begged for it! We ordered it online and he checked the mailbox 3 times a day! Ever since he got it , he and his friends play it and it's hysterical to hear them all getting into it yelling do this do that! They are 100% in it!

Fun To Play

My 11 year old and 8 year old son's got a Wii U for Christmas to share. As soon as they saw that there was going to be a new game in the LEGO series they wanted it, so they used their Christmas money to pre-order the LEGO City Undercover.

Chase McCain, the game's central protagonist, is a man of many talents. The most immediately obvious of them is his ability to deliver cheesy one-liners. He starts as he means to go on; it's an unrelenting stream of puns, gags and sarcastic quips.

LEGO City Undercover faces a burden unlike any previous LEGO game developed by Traveller's Tales. Not only is this production the first LEGO game by Traveller's Tales to not feature a major movie or comic book license, it's the first major Wii U game of 2013 – and the biggest release to come since...

Huge open world; Great characters; sense of humor; Tons of collectibles

Frequent and lengthy load times; Fairly generic gameplay

The game's technical problems notwithstanding, I found LEGO City Undercover to be an immensely enjoyable adventure that really made me laugh. It certainly has a lot going for it with a great story, funny script, creative originality and a design that makes no attempt to dumb anything down making it...

Through many games and IPs, the LEGO games have established themselves as accessible, fun and of a reasonable quality. Traveller's Tales turned what could have been a throwaway cash grab into a very successful franchise.

Lego City Undercover released way back in March 2014 for the Nintendo Wii U and 3DS, the Wii U version especially was held in high regard, largely been dubbed as the Grand Theft Auto for kids.

Possibly the funniest Lego game; Full of great cop movie clichés; Fun missions; Large city with plenty of side activities

Vehicles can be fiddly to drive; Long initial load-time to menu
