The visuals are otherwise unchanged, but I wasnвЂ™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 McCainвЂ™s slab-like police communicator device still looks exactly like the Wii U Gamepad it was originally designed to imitate.)Д®ach 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). ItвЂ™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 youвЂ™re driving somewhere, and although controlling the environment scanner with thumbsticks isnвЂ™t quite as fun as physically holding up the Gamepad was, itвЂ™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 UвЂ™s second screen features onto a single screen. Having said that, itвЂ™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, itвЂ™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 gameвЂ™s story, player two is just a palette-swapped version of main hero Chase McCain. This brings the updated release of LEGO City Undercover more in line with the vast majority of LEGO titles from TravelerвЂ™s Tales, as a second player can now drop in and drop out at any point.ДЄdmittedly co-op support in LEGO City Undercover is pretty barebones.

ThatвЂ™s still for the most point where we stand on it today, with the main difference being the inclusion of local two-player co-operative play for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC versions of the game. Of course, rampant loading times, no co-op and a variety of other problems (loading times, routine gameplay) hold Undercover back from truly taking the next step for the larger LEGO franchise.

UndercoverвЂ™s story is an incredibly entertaining homage to countless movies and television shows, and manages to feature a very strong cast of characters вЂ“ no small feat considering the game has no major license associated with it. The sheer scope of the overworld is impressive, as is the way TravellerвЂ™s Tales layered in its wide range of collectible goodies, which ensures hours upon hours of activity after the campaign ends, which should take the average player about 10 hours, accounting for some collectible fetching.

LEGO City Undercover is the best iteration of a very familiar experience, which is as reassuring or problematic as that might seem.
