Life in LEGO City

LEGO City, the city that never sleeps. This is not only because it unfortunately no day / night cycles are, but because the city has been designed properly alive. Everywhere drive cars and civilians also go after their daily work.
But LEGO City really worth a look or TT Games has built here right crap? Finally, they were able to lately always orienetieren of templates and here they had to let their creativity and imagination free rein.
Let's look at all the aspects in peace. :)

You take on the role of Chase McCane, a police officer who had left a few years ago LEGO City, and will have an escaping prisoner (REX Fury), which provides for chaos in the peaceful city, imprison again. That Chase McCane, Rex Fury had imprisoned some years ago and he was also indirectly blame off that Chase has left the city, makes the story more exciting. Otherwise, the whole story is but relatively unspectacular. You play a cop who is on alert!

But the story is told but really awesome! The cutscenes are beautiful to look at and easy to make fun. This is not only because of the beautiful German language edition, but mainly to the immense sense of humor that is found in virtually every Zwischenseguenz. The developers have operated in various films. Again and again one finds allusions to great Blockkbuster, as well as smaller films are represented. Here, perhaps, the smaller and younger players will not realize all the allusions, but is not so bad, because even without the many allusions, the game features excellent humor.

The game invites you to discover and explore a. So surprising in an open world game, it is not, but I was pleasantly surprised at what you can find everything in the city and make. This way you can build a playground and use the equipment then, or you can work out a little on a treadmill. Throughout the city you will find fun things that you can do. But also for the collectors are there in the city a lot to do! As used by the LEGO games, hidden objects scattered throughout the city everywhere. In order to achieve 100% pass in advance 60 (!) Hours.

Some objects to get well after a while off, because you switched on the whole skills freely only in the course of the game. Since her undercover since, you have to dress up, of course you also. With the different panels, you get of course different skills. So you can destroy as miners rocks and lay dynamite and crack as a bandit doors and saves her example. Through the many objects and disguises the Games offers a lot of variety and promises a long long-term motivation. Add to this the many different means of transportation. There are over 100 different vehicles from helicopters to sports cars is all part of it! Whoever thinks that a large city for him would be nothing, can retreat to the mountains and listen to the birds singing and enjoy the scenery and fresh mountain air.

Speaking of listening to birds! The game features an exceptionally good background music. One never feels annoyed by the music and the whole gedudel fits perfectly to happen. The graphics are not miles star, but fits well with the LEGO-Style and is now also not a disaster. Overall, TT Games has delivered a game that is moved with the times and not "outdated" looks or sounds.

Many compare this game with GTA. No wonder, since the basic structure is almost identical. Who but a GTA expected here in LEGO style, might be a bit disappointed! While one can kill in any GTA and use his gun everywhere, there in LEGO City no firearms (only a grappling hook) and you can also kill anyone. Also, the difficulty is different. So there is hardly in LEGO City and really no challenge you can not cope. Can also run one does not, because the paths are always displayed and you get many clues where to go now.

That so has a big game frequently shop, of course, of course. Here, the load times are unfortunately somewhat exaggerated. So sometimes you have to 50 (!) Wait seconds until it finally goes on. Fortunately not many loading times occur, as I had first feared. So Zwischesequenzen actually run without load times and start the mission without delay. Jediglich at the end of a mission, and a long journey, for example by train, or entry into a building, it may lead to longer loading times. Also quite a pity that it comes to the öfterne short jerks while driving. This is a bit disturbing the flow of the game :(

The control with the gamepad (other control options are not supported!) Goes slightly out of hand and flows nicely into a gameplay. The functions of the gamepad are used more or less useful, but feels unnecessary or intrusive at any point on. So, for example, gets her new jobs on the game pad or have to find a scanner the villains. Even if a card is always shown on the gamepad.

Postive:
+ Long season
+ Good humor
+ Good control
+ Good voice
+ Lots of variety
+ A lot to discover
+ Good music

Negatives:
- Long load times
Go slight stuttering when -
- to easy

CONCLUSION:
LEGO City Undercover makes things right! I would recommend it to anyone who wants to gamble just fun. Also for any collector of this game is eigentich duty. However, if a challenge or GTA expects will certainly disappointed because something really difficult in the game in vain. The game gives me personally a lot of fun and in no way regret buying. To give the game full 5 stars, would be an exaggeration, but because it has some flaws, over which one simply nich away can see! If these weaknesses but be fixed with a patch, I'm willing to forgive full points!
During gameplay, there are full of points, because the fun is just gigantic.
