Lego GTA

There are plenty of games where I'm not immediately hooked. This happened to me in Lego City Undercover, that I actually never wanted to buy me. Through several recommendations I cashed a voucher from Amazon and bought this game, which is also a small Lego figure hinzugab representing the main protagonists. For about 55Euro not cheap, but exclusively for the WiiU which currently has a few games to offer yes.

Gameplay:

After a cheerful sequence learns her Chase McCain know, for you from now on controls. He managed for some time to make the most dangerous criminals from Lego City arrest. But the criminal who goes by the name Rex Fury, managed to flee. It would be only half as tragic, would not be located Chase lovers in the witness protection program. For you it is now end the abstinence and immediately march towards police headquarters. Even before the entrance hall you will meet the clumsy Frank who tries to help you with sheer enthusiasm, but what he did not always succeed.
At headquarters arrived, once you get your first instructions. If ye clothed you once with a uniform and take counter your communicator that looks random as the WiiU GamePad. Everything is fulfilled to your satisfaction, you can explore the once fucking huge city, or you take care of all orders. Thieves overwhelm and chases but are only a small part, because as the title suggests, you're traveling undercover, trying to smuggle you in different gangs. And since it is not quite so simple with police outfit, you get with the progress of the game provided new clothing, which also unlock additional talents.

The thief can break certain doors and a safe with the right timing crack. The miners leads with his pickaxe and allowed to use dynamite to blow open up paths. In the clothing of astronauts Chase can even from one place to another beaming. As a firefighter by Brecht's barriers and can of course put out fires. And the farmer can float by chicken even by Lego City, or throw his opponents with eggs. Of course, the equipment can always be changed and adapted to the needs. More outfits can discover and unlock, which also heard the game, because as these different talents accommodate, it is worth it at any time, on several occasions to visit all the places and to repeat missions.
But even without repeating something Lego City Undercover offers a huge extent. The vast open world offers so many options that the player at first can not imagine itself. You can commit all free and use all vehicles participating in the traffic, or just standing around. It also does not matter whether you use a truck, a tractor, a convertible, a police car or a motorcycle to chase through the streets. Not enough you? Well then you continue by helicopter, bicycle, horse or even a T-Rex (yes really). Even the water can be crossed by boat, or even an air mattress, but even if none is of all the means of transport for disposal, Chase is also good to walk alone. But any means of help anything if their building climbs to reach certain checkpoints, or blocks searches.
Blocks? Of course, because as yet play a wash genuine Lego game. On the one hand there are the Studs. These are small round stones who know Lego fans as coins. These studs are everywhere. Say, on roads, fences, poles and roofs. To you're earning is not the first priority, but still useful if you want to buy vehicles or outfits. Quick your collection grows, because even if her things built or destroyed, sometimes falling the small round stones, and will be your account credited.
In police headquarters is a large machine that can fulfill your desire of new vehicles for a fee. These new means of transport, which now decorate your fleet can, be called in certain places. These places that I think are still flat inanimate surfaces and must be converted into a Rufplatz. This requires you blocks that are slightly larger and usually go in your inventory when you destroy things. Furthermore, there are also large colored stones, which have an increased value. Should you build an object, such as the Rufplatz described, a ship, or a scrap press, you need a larger number of these stones. Therefore, it is, go ever vigilant through the streets and best leave no stone unturned, for your destruction is quickly rewarded, so that your account quickly adduced the required amount.

It is the mysterious and rare colored stones, can often be seen immediately, therefore your GamePad can be used for their positioning. Turns her to a mode, a kind of radar draws on the touch screen of tablet controller. Per motion controller you can now scan the environment until locates an object in your radar. But this task the report of the gamepad is not far from completed, because you can perform scans audio, or take pictures of the surrounding area in order to convict criminals. Parallel to the tablet controller is also a communication tool, and the police, as well as your clients from source to contact you. Her gets her further instructions, or funny comments of Frank, who seems to do everything wrong.
Otherwise Chase uses his not quite as handy as a communicator trace detector or card to make new line better identify. But you find yourself just in a vehicle, the route is additionally backed with green stones, since it would be very inconvenient to always have to take a look at the GamePad. Of course you have to this route to the next checkpoint but not follow and you can do some night cap. As already mentioned, the game world is fucking huge and it can be discovered massive. You can use all the vehicles, as well as metro and railway normal. The buildings are rare walkable, it can be seen on many climb. Funnily enough, there is also a Lego store in town. But also many other interesting houses and places waiting for your commission. And to make it even more fun, survived the entire city. Dozens Lego figures walk around, greet you curse, or talking to yourself. Through the huge extent, it takes more than 100 hours before your score is even begin to 100%. And in all that time, in which I try to bring the game to 100%, I have never been bored, because there is behind almost every corner something to discover.

Until her Rex gets back before the gun, you have massive missions in various kinds do, but which are all interrupted by long load times. Very laid draws a minute in the country until the adventure continues. But I do not want now to expand this small gripe, but I fixated on the great things. As is known, the Lego games are indeed very child friendly and is also in Undercover that. Chase has 4 Life heart. Are these deducted it disintegrates into its component parts. There is violence only in abgemildeter form and therefore it can be safely recommended for children. But we adults have fun with the game, because many blocks are known to us from past times before coming, because let's face it, everyone who buys the game, used to play safely with Lego.
For the buyer to forego an online mode, which is quite a shame because how cool it would be if all the friends with the same game in Lego City may roam, to make their own adventure. And if we're talking about online, you must buy the game not necessarily in the store, but you can download it from the eShop of WiiU. But watch out, the whole circumference is 22GB, which the internal memory of a white console more than just eats and black very burdened. Who nevertheless decides to download and may also dispense with the figure in the pack should contain the SD card with a larger capacity.

Technology:

Of course, Lego City Undercover not located at the reality, yet everything is quite nice to look at and also offers various times of the day. The building and figures are presented great. As the right toy, reflect also the heads of the figures, the light reflections, which I find very successful. But even if the title is not a graphic wonder I want to mention how to detail were the makers yet. Because in the gigantic world move bulky vehicles and people at a time, without chasing a judder on the TV. Even facial expressions and gestures convinced. The entire scenario also does not take itself very seriously, so you expect more slapstick video sequences and many parodies of well-known films and series such as Stasky and Hutch, Titanic and Dirty Harry.

Also the sound has everything I expect from a good game. Always adapted to the situation, sounding the right notes which are sometimes rousing, and therefore come funny. In rural areas, then you hear many animal noises and bird chirping, what the atmosphere can be more vivid. But here I need to synchronize mention since that is Affengeil. Not only the voices and accents have been well implemented, but also the jokes. I really fucking often from deepest soul laugh and wonder who comes only to such nonsense. It remained sayings hanging like: you have the tracks repaired Friends Forever. I am a police officer like you ... uh, well maybe not exactly like you, the clumsy Frank. And "Haaalt! ... Or ... I'll keep walking afterwards". Although none of the sentences now sounds spectacular, but in the situation out there is just dry as well as witty humor that I have experienced in so still no match. Therefore one must also say that the Lego games have hardly made use of words, so it's more beautiful, how great a title of this format can be rounded off with a speech.
The control I can see anything negative. The commands go slightly out of hand and are assigned clearly. Of course, it is also important, because the game is intended for children and adults. Nevertheless, it was ensured that the vehicles control differently and so breaks a motorcycle from a lot faster than a police car. This drives the incentive to try anything, further upward. Otherwise, the most important control element of the touch screen of the gamepad, because this places can be scanned via motion control. Also routes can be set with a finger. Throughout the control is therefore just as successful, as the remaining technical aspects.

Conclusion:

It's huge, it's thoughtful, it's funny and above all very varied by the varied missions. Lego City Undercover is like a GTA for WiiU. With plenty of charm and great sayings it makes every minute a pleasure. And minutes you will spend massive in scale and gigantic world. In addition, more unlockable items captivate additional hours to the screen. Who then is still not enough of Chase, may experience another adventure on the 3DS. Here, however, the story is told, as Chase Rex Fury arrest made for the first time. But who has the choice, should address the WiiU adventure because here the scope is simply no bounds and you will get the secret star Frank Honey presented, the time gets its own story hopefully. The final words: all WiiU owner - Buy Now!
