Join the chase in LEGO CITY Undercover, the open-world LEGO adventure that puts you on both sides of the law. As police officer Chase McCain you go undercover to hunt down the notorious, recently escaped criminal Rex Fury and end his city-wide crime wave, working through a sprawling LEGO City stuffed with districts, disguises, vehicles and the series’ trademark humour. It is witty, original storytelling with a wink at every cop movie you have ever seen.
A City That Plays Like a Toy Box
LEGO City is a genuine open-world metropolis with more than 20 unique districts to investigate, from downtown blocks to countryside hills. There are car thieves to bust, hundreds of collectibles to gather, movie references hiding on every street and vehicles of every shape to drive, fly or float. Progress opens the city up further, and the joy is in how much of it reacts like the toy box it is.
Every Disguise Is a New Job
Undercover work means costumes, and Chase’s disguises each come with their own abilities. The robber cracks safes and pries open doors, the miner handles dynamite, the farmer floats down from rooftops with a chicken, and the fireman chops through obstacles, so returning to an old district with a new outfit keeps turning up fresh secrets. Swapping identities mid-mission is the game’s best trick and its best joke at the same time.
Better With a Partner
The PC version includes two-player co-op, letting a friend join the pursuit through story missions and free roam alike. Splitting the work — one driving, one chasing on foot — suits the game’s slapstick perfectly, and with its family-friendly rating LEGO City is a rare open world that works for every age in the room.
Grab your badge, pick a disguise, and go find out why Rex Fury should have stayed in prison.
