Fortunately, even small cars are resilient, and there are plenty of roads, alleys, and jump ramps to take through the city. Vehicles have their own health meters, and once they take enough damage they collapse into a pile of bricks.

Driving is simple, with the right trigger accelerating and the left trigger breaking and going in reverse. Thankfully, you can wave down any driver with your police whistle and commandeer your car, and you can unlock a fleet of over 100 vehicles you can access at buildable call-in points scattered through the city. LEGO City Since this is an open-world, Grand Theft Auto-styled game, driving plays a major part.

The miner disguise lets Chase blow up boulders, the farmer disguise lets Chase water planets and make platforms appear, and the fireman disguise lets Chase break through boarded up doors and put out fires. Disguised a criminal, Chase can use a crowbar to open doors and crack safes. As a police officer, Chase can use a grappling hook gun and free run through certain obstacles. Instead, most puzzles are solved by putting on different disguises, giving the game a sense of variety similar to the Super Nintendo classic The Magical Quest Starring Mickey Mouse. It serves as a video communicator for in-games call you receive, and you'll hear the voices of your erstwhile partner Frank and dispatcher Ellie through the gamepad's speakers, too.Ĭhase isn't exactly a gunslinger, and he doesn't get the job done by shooting or even punching enemies (much). The Wii U gamepad screen serves as a map, but it also lets you scan for criminals and hidden objects by holding it up to the TV and treating it like an augmented reality scanner. Instead, you've got to overcome your enemies using judo flips, fist-fights, and handcuffs.Ĭhase has a wide variety of tools that get unlocked through the game, integrated into the 'police communicator' (the menu and map system on the Wii U gamepad's screen) and the disguises Chase can wear. This isn't Grand Theft Auto or Sleeping Dogs, though criminals are all bank robbers or similarly simple criminals, and firefights are nonexistent.

The man you put behind bars, Rex Fury, has broken out, and a crime wave is sweeping the streets of this brick-based San Francisco analog. You play Chase McCain, returning to LEGO City after a few years away. Best Hosted Endpoint Protection and Security Software.
