GameSpot Reviews - LEGO City Undercover

[@RazgulTheKind]

Always amazes me how genuinely great most lego games are.

[@fatherofthenoo]

This is one of the reasons why I've often thought that the five star system was more suited to reviewing products. The 10/10 or 100% system can be easily misinterpreted.

[@0RickyRivera0]

Every time I hear the I'm walking on sunshine song, I remember Seymour, Fry's dog from Futurama and i cry :(

[@FireteamYogurt]

This game is just so fun. I have dreamed of living in a LEGO city since I was a kid, and this game just makes me feel like one again. It's so good.

[@SnowNasty]

I like how this review sounds. another reviewer didnt mention the gamepad functionality being able to eavesdrop on convo's & etc. That was cool.

[@ItsB1998]

This game looks like it had so much charm it's crazy!

[@UsePreparationH]

That Dirty Harry reference at the end, its gold.

[@vbgenechten]

1:31 Greatest escape ever. (top right corner)

[@NoiSyGuitarMaNiaC]

this game is a real hidden gem, fun factor is over the top

[@bokito999]

It's good to see a post launch Wii U title worth getting, hopefully this and the new Monster Hunter will sell well so more developers will consider working on the Wii U so it can hold it's own against the upcoming consoles with better hardware.

[@erictycam621]

Yes they did. GameInformer gave it an 8.5 I believe. So it's VERY solid all across the board.

[@ripoutyourprejudice]

Awww... the Dirty Harry reference, awesome :)), this game has a lot of heart, I might buy a Wii U just for this game alone.

[@JayPley]

Great review gamespot!

[@wiilover07]

I will be picking this game up very soon. I have not bought a Lego game in a while. I'm also looking forward to Lego Marvel Super Heroes.

[@marvolomethod]

man, when that bridge to the other island opend up my jaw drOPPED, i wasd like oooooo more area ?

[@EuroMIX2]

It would help if the rating system we generally use wasn't so broken. 5/10 or 50% should be average. In my opinion anything that is rated 75% or higher ought to be a "strongly consider buying this game unless you happen to hate the genre/series".

[@minimimimaxiboy1]

LOL @ the Dirty Harry reference... This game is brilliant!

[@Jack32X]

died at 1:45 haha

[@crazycat690]

"Back then"? The console hasn't been out for even half a year yet, and it still got little worthwhile games! Whatever you're smoking it's potent.

[@Joshuah24]

im excited for this game. cant wait to play it. and explore the city. Good review gamespot

[@MrGamelover23]

Hey, I want a wii U, but don't have the money. I meant that they don't get nearly as much third-party suppoert. I meant developers don't understand Nintendo cpu's and stuff like that. And I'd like a list, because I believe you, but I don't know which ones, and meant AAA titles, not eshop titles. And the Gamecube sold so poorly, Nintendo didn't have the money to make the Wii as powerfull as a ps3, so that's why the Wii wasn't as powerful as people hoped.

[@JonDGAF]

GREAT TO PLAY WHEN STONED!!!

[@yourworldsavingsdotcomyour5552]

Lmao

[@JonDGAF]

@@yourworldsavingsdotcomyour5552 LOL I forgot about this comment.

[@nintyfan1991]

I don't get it. People ask Nintendo for good games on the Wii U, mainly third party (like this), but end up asking for a port on PlayStation/XBOX/PC when they hear it's a good game. I really don't get this hypocrisy. Do people want reasons to buy Nintendo systems, or don't they?

[@bednar23]

This game is mega. Playing it through just now an its hilarious. Daft puns and movie and game referances everywhere

[@PimpMatt0]

Usually I get annoyed by all the Lego titles but this one actually looks fun.

[@TheWolfAgency]

Imagine if this spontaniously turned out to be a surprise GTA 6 that had the alias of "LEGO Undercover"

[@thedrummerrok97]

I love this game so damn much! Makes me feel like a kid again :)

[@Goobiegoobiegoobie]

Will this game ever be available to other consoles?

[@Rubenzian2]

fifty isn't average. The avergae is all scores added together and divided by how many there are. Very few games get 1 or two and lots get 7+. So the average will be well above five (fifty)

[@6ch6ris6]

no that will be a prequel to the wiiU game. i hope it will be good. open world game on the 3DS would be awesome

[@ynhynh]

I honestly was surprised how much I liked it as well. Had a very simplistic old school survival horror game feel to it.

[@turkhamburgaren8331]

Lego City had a horror game feeling to you?

[@ThePhantomKing]

There is a prequel of the game for the 3ds coming in April.

[@jonametcalf1217]

actually the average refers to the average (mean) score of games from gamespot so say they have rated 3 games i.e. game #1: 30/100, Game #2: 100/100 and game# 4 80/100 then the average score would not be 50 which is half of 100 but infact 70.

[@BombOmbBuddy]

Well my concern is that there isn't enough to do in the city. Just the gamplay, it looks fun, I'm just not sure about how long it will last...

[@OcarinaN64]

Right now, this looks like something that would make me get a WiiU. I've wanted one for a while but none of the exclusive titles have intrigued me. This reminds me of Lego Island... Anyone?

[@Kosmicosine]

There actually is a version coming to 3DS.

[@MDecker19]

is it for 360?

[@KalConduitman]

im getting this for sure

[@bobbybroccole]

Actually, in most schooling systems, 75 is average, 50 is a fail. I agree 80 is a decent score, and I am going to love this game way more than that score would suggest, but 50 is not average, since bell curves were decided to be idiotic.

[@megaphoenix2001]

hope this comes out on 360/ps3 this year

[@collnorway]

Does this game support off tv play?

[@TheGamingGazebo]

it is comes out on april 21st though and its a slightly different version of the game.

[@MDecker19]

is this game out already?

[@flammablezeus]

What does the score matter if he enjoyed it anyway? Score's are usually pretty arbitrary anyway. They tell you nothing about a game except that a single person thought it was worth whatever out of 5 or 10 or 100.

[@TheAlibabatree]

80 for Gamespot is the equivalent of 90 or 100 for other sites.

[@joesatmoes]

this is the reviewer who SHOULD have reviewed ZombiU

[@nano69ify]

Back then: "Wii U got no games!" Now in the comments: "I WANT THIS FOR PC!"

[@DaProphecy_]

They have one coming out for the 3DS. But its a presequel to this one.

[@TheColossus100]

right right thank this is the word i was looking for

[@LonkiGames]

Great review ;)

[@NightOfTheLiving8bit]

I'm actually a bit disappointed with this game from the time they announced it at E3, up until this review now. It just seemed like they were going to offer a lot more in this game and I could have sworn that multiplayer was going to be an interesting and seemless aspect. I'm still waiting to buy a Wii-U until Rayman comes out as when I played the demo recently, I was BLOWN away by how rad it was. By then I should have a few other great games to choose from. Until then its me, my PC and PS3.

[@poisonstrudel]

COUSIN! Lets go lego bowling!

[@narwhalbricks]

this game looks good, glad to see them doing a game not based on a license

[@chris81602]

I honestly love lego

[@philwing3541]

Little kids with no math skills... Game looks like a beast!

[@ZeekerssRBLX]

Its very nice! unless you want a great multiplayer game, in that case try nintendo-land.

[@adddrian100]

I want this guy to be in Gamespot news!

[@BombOmbBuddy]

I'm on the fence about this man... I really want something to play on my WiiU but I don't know if I should get this... In thinking yes but I can't decide...

[@TheRogueMonk]

is this only for wiiu ? :(

[@ChildElectronics]

Agreed

[@bendsouzaa]

Good review.

[@mrbossalicous]

This game actually looks awesome

[@zuber1995]

Wait so, a game based on a block building game isnt a block building game, like minecraft?

[@World9Gaming]

I LOVED Lego Island

[@danielsingerling]

it will also come 3ds if i am not mistaken

[@World_of_KGZ]

sadly it doesnt mean pc isnt the best option since then it will always be the better but game companies found out that they can make more many with more crappy consoles

[@hero123654]

this is not school. its a review. 5/10 is average

[@MrGamelover23]

I've seen let's plays, it looks like it will last for at least 6 months.

[@stabingAdragon]

Cool game I now want to buy it , and thanks 4 the awsom review.

[@FoxRS]

This looks fun! =D

[@DaSoullessGamer]

it is

[@Septimra]

it is, they thought of everything lol

[@CaptainHugoAhoy]

80 is also a B+.

[@logicboy99]

I'll wait for GTA 5, an adult game.

[@UsePreparationH]

@Hayastantzi92 There's a prequel coming on the 3ds.

[@smugcat723]

uhhh... i just saw a disturbing advertisement before this video...

[@funnydude447]

yes

[@Daveanoncomedy]

How the hell did edge mag only give this a 5/10, that magazine has lost the plot.

[@VelocoraptorMaster]

Absolutely true.

[@windwakerpikmin]

Their is a 3ds one but its a prequel.

[@bokito999]

Rayman isn't a Wii U only title anymore :(

[@nicocooldj]

Will it come for ps3??

[@NoobFestSupermellor]

so wait, this game got the same score as The Last of Us? It must be a masterpiece

[@MrGamelover23]

Let's face it, Nintendo has to ride the coat-tales of nostalgia, because even when they went out of their way to get support for the Gamecube, they still don't get much because developers don't get Nintendo hardware. Nintendo doesn't have that many new IPs, so it makes people upset.

[@Xtram21]

only one game worthy...Wii U owner already acting high and mighty

[@Antagonist121]

But this is the gaming world, not a schooling system :P

[@2Exile0]

Game looks great and I can't wait.

[@caracallaseverus3412]

I hope GTA5 is like this!

[@palesel]

Too many spoilers.

[@MrGamelover23]

OWNED!

[@DanDaMaN95cov]

imagine if they added a superman dlc

[@tthomson1]

I am going to buy this guy just for the jokes

[@2Exile0]

No NO NO not going happen. Better get a Wii U, there are some great games available and many more coming out.

[@CheesyBacon52]

Best lego game since the original lego island! :P

[@NaN00000]

No, actually... 50% = Failure 70% = Average 80% = Great Just wanted to make it clear that 50% =/= average. Peace! ✌(-_- )

[@willallnutt4612]

/0 Bullshit.

[@StephenBased]

If I had this game when I was 10 I would have done dirty things to it.

[@LucaPed94]

Its an excellent rating....

[@the99percenter78]

is 8.0 good or bad

[@ShahriyarAlam1]

Crazy Gamer98 Good

[@ShahriyarAlam1]

Crazy Gamer98 9 is amazing and 10 is masterpiece

[@_Majoras]

they're something called 'fanboys' maybe you've heard of them

[@JDSproducitons]

I saw about 5 comments mentioning pc... Way to exaggerate :3
