Reviews from

in the past


I could have sworn that I left a detailed review on Steam back in the day, but for some reason, it's not there. Anyway, I'll try to summarize by memory. The core gameplay is similar to older LEGO games, it's just that you have a huge open/hub world now. It's really not like GTA at all, despite what a lot of people are saying. Probably as close as a LEGO game is likely to get to GTA, but still - not really like GTA. I find it baffling and even annoying that so many people make that comparison in reviews as the similarity is very surface-level. Pet peeves aside, I enjoyed seeing an entire modern city made out of LEGO parts. It brought back many childhood memories. All the movie references are cool and funny and the game can be enjoyable overall. But underneath all of that you find the usual casual busy work from prior LEGO games. While I did do a 100% playthrough, I think it was just the completionist in me getting activated. I had very mixed feelings about it towards the end.

Pretty solid, don't know why they never made another one

this is unironically the most hilarious lego game the amount of movie and celebrity references and how they're all so fucking funny makes this game so peak

While The LEGO Movie Video Game is my favorite due to my personal history with the game, LEGO City Undercover is my favorite overall game in the wide LEGO series. It has a huge open world with tons of collectables--but once you get into it, going for 100% is less daunting than it appears. A great time for any LEGO fan.


LEGO City is unfortunately the exact tipping point of me aging out of the original formula LEGO games. Undercover was rumored and talked about for years before release, but unfortunately took just long enough to come out that it was outside of the age range for the original population of LEGO Star Wars kids who were originally most interested in it.

It's a great game. It deserves better standing on the list than this, but I've just never had a great time with it due to its simplicity clashing with when it released in my life.

lego gta is fun and all but these games were better when they shut tf up

Baby's first open world game.

It has its minor flaws (and even bigger ones when it comes to the PC version), but it's still one of the best LEGO games and should serve as a model for others in the series.

Re-visiting the review. Another six months on and my Son is still playing this, still finding different things and still having a blast. Crashes seem to have stopped as well. Has to be five stars.

bastante bueno para estándares de Lego, sorprendente

I forgot I beat this in like 2018

Gta se a rockstar soubesse fazer jogo

Man I always see posts n shit saying we need a GTA where you play as a cop an like they really never experienced the peak that is this game and that make some sad like this game really is babys first GTA and I mean that in the best way possible like this really the best open world Lego game and it's never acknowledged ever like this game need more universal love and respect man I'm glad I grew up on it fr like you got me playing as a cop and not complaining that's how good Legos games are so I'm not surprised and this game changes the normal lego formula too by having costumes instead of different characters n shit like it's such a cool system man but yeah replaying this game on a PS4 now as a movie nerd I fucking adore how this game is just movies and tv references the game like holy shit man I needa beat this again soon but like gigs amirite one day for sure tho prob soon since my depression has been calling me towards this game like a siren fr 10/10
