![]() Chase also learns that Marion Dunby has been made police chief recently. He meets Frank Honey outside the station, who is in awe in the presence of a "Legend" being Chase McCain, and Ellie Phillips, the officer who works the Requisitions Desk in the basement of the department. Gleeson tasks McCain to find Rex and bring him to justice (again).Īfter arriving at the police station located in Cherry Tree Hills to restart his work as a police officer. He learns from Mayor Gleeson that Rex Fury has broken out of prison. The game begins on his way back to LEGO City and arrives by ship in Auburn Docks. The game was then advertised at the back of LEGO set instructions from 2011 City sets.Īfter the events in LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins, Chase is sent away for two years to Brick County after revealing Natalia, his girlfriend, was the one who testified against Rex Fury. Even the Switch version, which I downloaded digitally and have running off a high speed Micro SD card, can still take anywhere from 30 seconds to a full minute when transitioning from an interior to the open world, which is a lengthy period of time to regularly stare at a static screen no matter how much you enjoy the incredibly funky ‘70s wah-wah wocka-ing that accompanies it.This game was first mentioned in The Brick 2009, where it was said, "LEGO City Stories will have a more loose central story that will encourage the player to explore a wider variety of side stories and challenges". ![]() While it varies marginally between platforms, LEGO City Undercover still features generally sluggish load times. What I had hoped for was some level of optimisation for the load times, but unfortunately this doesn’t appear to be an area that developer TT Fusion has given much love. The visuals are otherwise unchanged, but I wasn’t exactly expecting the addition of high resolution textures or anything since well, almost everything in the game is made out of smooth-surfaced LEGO bricks. ![]() (It does however seem slightly odd that Chase McCain’s slab-like police communicator device still looks exactly like the Wii U Gamepad it was originally designed to imitate.)Įach version of the re-released LEGO City Undercover runs at 1080p (including the Switch version, when docked) and at a more stable frame rate compared to the original (with the exception of the un-docked Switch version, which features a slightly choppier frame rate reminiscent of the Wii U original). It’s certainly more convenient to have video communications windowed in the corner of the main screen rather than having to keep looking down in your lap while you’re driving somewhere, and although controlling the environment scanner with thumbsticks isn’t quite as fun as physically holding up the Gamepad was, it’s no less functional. LEGO City Undercover hardly made the most of the Wii U Gamepad anyway, so these tweaks have a fairly minor impact on the experience as a whole. The only other major difference is the migration of the Wii U’s second screen features onto a single screen. Having said that, it’s still a fun sandbox to muck around in with a second player particularly given the presence of some 100 different vehicles to thrash about, and certainly the addition of co-op helps to make this re-release of LEGO City Undercover superior to the original to some degree. Furthermore there are no specific missions, puzzles, or activities designed to cater to co-operative play, it’s the exact same content as the Wii U version only it can be tackled with two of you brick-smashing your way to success instead of one. Rather than introduce a second character into the game’s story, player two is just a palette-swapped version of main hero Chase McCain. Admittedly co-op support in LEGO City Undercover is pretty barebones.
