![]() 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. 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. You can literally spend hundreds of hours and still make new discoveries.Admittedly co-op support in LEGO City Undercover is pretty barebones. Head left and grapple up to the next level, then head back right and fix the fuse box on the elevator. Head right and pry open the door to the storeroom to get dynamite, then place it in the barrel in front of the shiny wall. There is so much to do and explore as you make your way through this procedurally generated game. At the shiny wall, grapple down the hook above you and climb up. ![]() They're separated into different classes and specific skills are needed to move past certain puzzles.įinally, If you want something completely new that doesn't follow any existing franchises, you should check out LEGO Worlds. Then there are dozens of Marvel heroes and villains to unlock. You can dive down from the Helicarrier down to the massive city below. You can play on your own or with a friend in local co-op.Īnother amazing option is Marvel Super Heroes. This is a large game that features the tale from all nine films. If you're only going to get one LEGO game, I highly recommend you make it LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. You can't help but laugh when they play into their toy nature and allow you to build things in-game to help you solve puzzles. ![]() LEGO Switch games have a very unique way of retelling familiar stories.
