Hilarious and entertaining, LEGO City Undercover will forever remain among my favourite LEGO games. Chase McCain’s return to the scene of the crime is a welcome one, but, as an inadvertent downside, it also shows how far the LEGO series has progressed in the last few years. Its crime-ridden world is still an absolute blast to be a part of, however, and I hope that we’ll have another chance to chase down criminals in the future.
Alex Seedhouse · Nov 19, 2017 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewLEGO City Undercover is a fun and very funny ride into an original LEGO world, full of cops and robbers, pigs, aliens, all manner of vehicles, and even a trip into space. I’d have preferred a sequel, or at least some new content, but this is still a classic title that deserves to be played. If you haven’t played the original, it’s an easy recommendation; if you have, just balance up whether you want to take the ride again. It is still fun the second time, and multiplayer sweetens the deal.
Jemma Casson · May 05, 2017 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewGameplay is understandably simplistic, nothing is too over the top and for someone my age I can admit it got boring for me outside of the comedy aspect. Driving seemed to be on the slower side, platforming not requiring all that much timing, and the game holds your hand for quite a long time before it trusts you enough to walk on your own.
Johnathan Irwin · May 01, 2017 Reviewed onRead full reviewAt the end of Lego City Undercover, I was confused as to why more Lego games didn’t make use of the ideas presented here. The improved combat system was delightful, and making it super convenient to access powers and advance through levels was something I think more of the Lego games could use. There’s still a bit more ironing that needs to be done, but it’s strange that this five-year-old Lego game is more convenient and innovative than more recent releases. This is a chase that you want to go on.
Samuel Guglielmo · Apr 26, 2017 Reviewed on PS4Read full reviewLego City Undercover is a comical, open-world adventure set in a Lego world that doesn’t borrow from other franchises. Despite the warts, it's easy to get yourself lost in its whacky tale.
Vijay Sinha · Apr 24, 2017 Reviewed on PS4Read full reviewLEGO City Undercover is a great game, and one many players likely missed on its first go-around. This is a prime example of a smart re-release. It also helps that each version is improved, and co-op is now an option. For anyone that missed this game on Wii U, there is no longer any excuse. Check out what I think is TT Games best effort in the LEGO genre.
Ken McKown · Apr 18, 2017 Reviewed on XB1Read full reviewFrom the hundreds of trinkets to the passersby's stupid comments, LEGO City has me smitten. I’ve finished the story and gathered a handful of collectibles, but LEGO City Undercover will stay in my Switch for a good long while.
Adam Abou-Nasr · Apr 18, 2017 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewLEGO City Undercover was already a great game when it released on Wii U four years ago and this new release takes that and tweaks it just a bit. The overall experience is a little smoother and the addition of co-op is a nice touch, though there’s nothing substantially new here. There may not be much reason for someone who played the game on Wii U to pick it up again, but those that missed out before will want to check out LEGO City Undercover this time around.
Dean James · Apr 17, 2017 Reviewed on PS4Read full reviewIt’s got a fun story, with a good amount of variety and some hilarious dialog. It’s not perfect – the load times are absolutely ludicrous, there’s some noticeable slow down when playing co-op and you can’t skip any of the cutscenes. Lego City Undercover for Switch doesn’t offer any new content from the Wii U version, but if you never played the Wii U version, than this is an easy choice for Switch owners.
Alex Everatt · Apr 14, 2017 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewSuccessfully making the leap from the Wii U four years since its original release, LEGO City Undercover is still a fantastically fun and exciting open-world adventure.

This is a great childhood memory for me, though compared to bigger open world titles like Skyrim and The Witcher 3, it lacks content. For its reasonable, I think it brings a fun experience to your gaming life.
Reviewed on Wii UA pretty good game! It is funny and has a nice story with funny scenes and such! Reminds me of a binge-watching TV show or even a movie.
