The ending sequences have some truly jaw-dropping graphical moments that outdo the rest of the game. So if you want the one with the most extra things, I guess Switch is the one to get? I’m assuming those are probably deleted from the other versions.
#LEGO CITY UNDERCOVER 2 FULL#
The Switch version of the game still contains the hidden Mario question mark blocks full of money around the world. The combat usually provides some nice variety in these games, but here it’s bland and almost lame. But hour 15 plays almost identically to hour 3, so if you’re not enjoying the world and the story…you might get really bored.Ĭombat is strangely toned down in this particular entry, and entirely based around different throws. They’re designed well and they function correctly. If you’re really dedicated, you can go replay old levels and use your later abilities to unlock secrets in earlier areas. You’ll use those abilities to solve different puzzles. In the last few years, TT Games has, at long last, tried to chip some of the mild tedium out of this franchise…but this game has all that irksome stuff in full force.Īs you go through the game, you’ll unlock different costumes that come along with different abilities. Lego City Undercover’s design hails from 2013, and thus doesn’t have any of the modern touches that recent Lego titles have finally received. These games have followed more or less the same formula since 2005, blending platforming, light puzzle solving, and basic combat elements together into something polished-yet-forgettable.
#LEGO CITY UNDERCOVER 2 SERIES#
The game design of the Lego series is a little…bland and creaky. I guess the presence of this UFO is a spoiler…but the story telegraphs all of its moves in the first hour. You’ll eventually unlock aerial vehicles which really show off the scope of the world. Still this is a solidly rendered and lit open world with better visuals than it had in 2013, so visually it’s still mostly positive. I had one crash in my 13 or so hours playing the main story…and I lost about 15 minutes of progress, which kind of sucked. Loads between levels are more tolerable, but none of the loading performance is anywhere close to fast. The initial load in particular is kind of aggravating if you don’t constantly use the Switch’s sleep mode to keep from rebooting the game. Now, it doesn’t take as stupidly long to load as the infamous original release did…but load times are still pretty darn long. Where the game falls short technologically is in the loading department. You’ll see a few rough textures here and there, and a few sharp edges on certain shadows…but overall I bet you’ll be surprised at the amount of nice-looking stuff going on in the city. It’s not the best-looking game I’ve seen, even on Nintendo’s new platform…but it holds up well to other modern games. There’s a noticeable resolution bump when the Switch is docked, but even undocked it’s a pleasant-looking game. For the most part the game sits around the 30FPS mark, and there’s plenty of foreground and background detail. Those chugs are pretty noticeable, but few and far between. The result is a sprawling, largely beautiful open world that only chugs in a few highly-detailed places. It’s quite a bit better-looking than the original 2013 release, with more detailed characters, landscapes, and effects. The game has been upgraded to the newest version of the TT Games Lego Engine, which now supports full real-time lighting and physically-based rendering, which lends more realism to the different materials in the game world. GRAPHICS/TECHĮven though I played the game on Switch, I don’t feel like I got a raw deal visually. However, Forrest Blackwell is returning to LEGO City with a new evil plan, and must also be stopped before his lust for vengeance destroys LEGO City.There’s a lot of good visual gags in the world, like this Shop called Shop. Chase, Frank, and friends new and old must work together to get Rex back behind bars. One Year after the arrest of Rex Fury, Chase McCain has been promoted to senior officer. It is the sequel to the 2013 Wii U Game LEGO City Undercover, and is set one year after the events of the first game.
