Overview of the game LEGO City Undercover on PC. LEGO CITY Undercover game review. Everything will be normal, commander

Since the invention of the constructor cubes in 1949, the Danish company of the same name has managed to win the love of hundreds of millions of children around the world. The toy empire has long been beyond children's stores, starting to develop video games, as well as create full-length animation films based on. One of these games was LEGO City Undercover, initially released in 2013 for the Console Nintendo Wii U. This year, the game was reprinted for several new platforms, which is why I would like to refresh the memories of this fun action with you.

For the development of the game, a small British studio TT Fusion was answered, which since 2007 only is engaged that releases LEGO-games based on various popular films. It was they who created the LEGO Star Wars series, Lego Harry Potter, LEGO Batman and other "cube hits". This time they had to turn into the game a series of LEGO CITY designers, produced by the Danish company since 2005. These designers, as it is not difficult to guess, include buildings, equipment and characters directly related to urban life. Here you and the police station, and the airport, all kinds of vehicles, construction sites, coast guard, prison, and even your own cosmodrome. But how to turn everything into an exciting video game? The answer suggested itself: you need to collect from all this sandbox like Grand Theft Auto, in which the player could entertain himself for a long time, passing plot missions and sidquests.

LEGO CITY Undercover tells us the history of police chase McCain, who returns to his hometown and finds out that a particularly dangerous criminal fled from prison - a mad Rex. It was Chase who at one time was neutralized and stared up this bandit for the grille, and now he can again come out on his footprint until the villain did not block the wood. Here is a small lyrical retreat. In 2013, the Nintendo 3DS pocket console came out of the original game called LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins. It was in him that we were told about the process of becoming chase McCaine from the green-police-police officer in a guy professional, as well as his opposition to Rex. In principle, without preface it is possible. However, if you really wonder - you can first get acquainted with this feature.

The game is an open world-sandbox where you can go where your soul is used. But with one reservation. Some buildings and places will be blocked until the time you do not master certain skills. The main character as it turns out for itself to discover new "costumes", reincarnating it in a police officer, miner, robber, cosmonaut and representatives of other professions. Each new role is interesting not only in terms of the appearance of Chaise, but also useful from the point of view of his talents. Miner knows how to pick up huge stone boulders and masterfully controlled with dynamite checkers, and the robber is able to open the locked doors and select codes to the safes. The policeman knows how to arrest criminals, as well as use their scanner (performed, by the way, in the form of gamepad from Wii U) to search for evidence. Each role allows you to get into the new corners of the world of LEGO CITY, which is why the game is unlikely to be considered 100% open initially.

Scene missions are quite interesting. For example, you will have to penetrate the impregnable prison on the Albatross Island, making track and neutralize the whip of clowns that robbed the bank, being under the guise of entry into confidence in the Mafia boss and much, much more. I am very fun as the fact that the game is quite skillfully referred to numerous popular films and television series. For example, being in prison, you will probably recognize the stage from the "shoot from Showanchka", and during the training of martial arts and the local Master Kung Fu (part-time - a good plumbing, who can not only be the pipes, but also chakras) Associations with "Matrix". The plot is really cheerful and pretty quickly delays you into the whirlwind of charming madness, reigning in LEGO City Undercover.

With humor in the game, the situation is contrary to, because for the most part it is very children and naive. On the other hand, it should be understood that the game was created with focus on family pastime, and not at all for gamers who are in favor of the fun in the spirit of GTA games with a 18+ age rating. For children, LEGO City Undercover is just perfect! Yes, and the parents will be calmer, because there are no drugs, bloody murders, girls of easy behavior, but there are tons of faunions, bright fights with opponents, digestive dialogues and other fun. Sometimes the game is still able to sincerely cheer adult man, but only makes it not as often as I personally would like. Nevertheless, I was very pleased that all the vulgarity and toilet humor were minimized here.

From the innovations of the 2017 game version, you can mark the cooperative mode for two players. In the case of the console, it is important that its screen is used as a portable TV. You put it on the table and together with a friend in Split Screen mode fight crime. However, there is a spoon of fighting in all of this joy: for the game you will need to buy another set of Joy-con controllers or Pro Controller. It is not for you any mario kart, so here one "joykon" does not work for a person. Well, many owners have an additional controller already bought, so I don't think it will become for someone a serious problem.

Otherwise, the new version of the game does not differ from the original of the four-year limit. Neither you have a new content, or seriously tightened by the graphic component. Although what the schedule needs here, if we are talking about cubes and square little men? The game looks and felt quite well. It is not enough for me to personally, perhaps scan and listen to criminals through the Wii U controller screen, which the player could turn around him. Now all this is done using analog handle. When Nintendo Switch is stuck in the docking station, the game issues an honest resolution of 1080r and stable framerate, but in portable mode everything is much less rosy. Frame frequency drops sharply, which makes the gameplay to be durgan and uncomfortable. Another annoying moment of the game is unbearably long loading screens. Sometimes you have to wait as a minute before the game will download all the necessary assets in memory of the console. And I just can't keep silent about the terrible Russian voice acting: the actors are not trying to postpone even by 50%, which ruins the entire atmosphere of the holiday.

The game presents 100 species of different vehicles, including all sorts of cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats, and even helicopters. At each of them, the player will be able to ride on the roads of LEGO City, fly or swim. The dimensions of the open world, of course, are not as gigantic as in the legislators of the genre, but it is still quite spacious and filled with interesting places. In total, you will bring in 22 different locations related to each other in a single map. In the game, there are no shootouts in the game due to the fact that the developers intentionally did not add firearms to the gameplay. But the Chase McCain has a "cat", shooting with hooks and allowing the enemies to the hands and legs of the rope if necessary, or climb on high buildings.

Pros:

  • Very funny references to famous films.
  • Places good humor without vulgarity and dirt.
  • Local cooperative mode for two.
  • Low threshold of entry for new players.
  • An ideal alternative to GTA for children.
  • One of the best video games in the LEGO series.

Minuses:

  • The game is unforgivable inhibits in portable mode.
  • For a cooperative, the controller (s) will have to be purchased.
  • Incredibly long boot screens.
  • Russian voice acting out of hand is bad.

LEGO CITY Undercover is a good and fun GTA alternative for children and their parents. The developers did not bother and add new content to Remaster, but they gave players the possibility of cooperative passage. The picture seriously spoil the disgusting optimization of the game in Portable Mode Nintendo Switch, unbearably long screens of downloads and terrible quality Russian voice acting. It is still a hope that the game can be optimized, but whether the developers will spend their time and strength on it - a big question. Despite this, LEGO City Undercover is one of the most striking representatives of the LEGO-Games series and is highly recommended for familiarizing the fan fans. I put the game 6 points out of 10.

For Wiiu. Nevertheless, before us, the first GTA sandbox for the Nintendo 3DS portable console is an iconic event (everything that happened before, only under the usual DS).

Everything will be normal, commander

Fortunately, games with a gyroscope are not provided - boldly clamp "forward" and run to the goal!

Company Traveler's Tales Related by the fact that the year already successfully integrates children's designer LEGO to many popular universes:, and then on the list. With all the external frivolousness, these games have wonderful gameplay, and in addition, they force players to look at the beloved universe under a completely different angle. And all thanks to the abundance of humor and secrets scattered through such familiar levels.

However, from year to year Traveller's Tales employees were engaged in self-copying. The invention is quite working circuit (arcade component, dozens of secrets at levels, a huge selection of characters with unique abilities), the authors once changed new games, changing only decorations. Developers can be understood - the unsuccessful experience with experiments they also had. So, for example, strategies and, though they were very high-quality and interesting, did not achieve special success.

Hurry to call the crew

This time the choice fell on the LEGO City Universe, dedicated to the Safety Services of the Big City. Instead of familiar levels - originally open world-sandbox, which can be freely explored without fear of invisible walls.

The robber, firefighter, astronaut, a farmer and a worker - in someone only the skin does not have to get out!

Follow the order in the city is still the "green" chase McCain, who just entered the service to the LEGO City police. At first we will be engaged in nonsense - running for ponchikov and patrol the streets. But it's already quite soon Chase (with your, naturally, help) will be engaged in the fact that it really removes the police work at all, - he will help the lazy builders to build a bridge, arrange, putting a farmer costume, racing on the forest, stew fires, repair Electric generators blowing a wrench (do not try to repeat it at home!), Run for skirts (more precisely, one skirt is an excellent TV journalist), fly on Jetpack and even run shuttle into space!

The opponents rarely poured a bunch - in the best traditions of the movies about the ninja they prefer to attack one.

In the intervals, Chase will still fight out street hooligans and delay dangerous criminals. The implementation of the battles, however, drove up - most of all the fights are similar to the dancing of National boys built by a semicircle. Chase dies, counterattacks (the game stylishly slows the time to show in all the colors, how Chase is enough of a glowing hooligan, scrolls it in the air around his axis and throws it) and quickly puts on iron "bracelets" on the wrists of law enforcers. You can work out the universal tactics of victory very quickly, and the battles will soon cease to delight at all.

Cattle - useful thing. Tighten up to an inaccessible place or just shock in the opponent - always please.

Battle with bosses also did not please. Even the fighting of huge combat person like robots, from which you expect epitity and madness, is made of hand badly - after quite a successful series of hooks, the game shows a roller in which the chase robot loses and turns into a pile of scrap metal. Further, the unfortunate cop will have to fight the terrible iron mechanism already on its two.

Attributes the main villain (he says something wildly reminds Lemmi from Motorhead.) For bars, you understand that things in LEGO City are terrible: all security services that must protect the peace of citizens, overnight proved to be replaced by one and only non-shock-police.

Attention, attention, all posts!

The meadow with an ultraviolet emitter will help McCain find traces on the crime scene.

Sitting the laid plot for five to seven hours, Chase will be able to wander around the city, to twist everything that breaks, and undergo additional missions. The complete storyline was counted only as 17% of the total progress - without taking into account all the secrets, open cars, characters, built by springboard, parking lots, helicopter sites ... You get tired of listed, here TT remained true to the traditions of the series. Aimed to go through the game completely? Boldly multiply the necessary time for five. Just try not to pay attention to the technical implementation - long-term downloads between the districts and the jams of the machines in the textures here is the usual business.

Pleased
Grieved

  • beautiful graphics;

After incredible commercial success LEGO STAR WARS. company Traveler "s Tales He fell into the top of the most sought-after developers who are finished to order to make any game adaptation of the next cubic universe. Projects in LEGO. We became a real discovery for the fans of cooperative entertainment before one screen, since with the growth of the popularity of online multiplayer, it was exactly such games that began not enough in the market.

Enontending British on time asked the chip and together with the publishing house Warner Bros. During the shortest possible time, a conveyor for the production of family adventures was organized. In recent years, the studio division has been released dozens of various projects - ranging from successful LEGO MARVEL SUPER HEROES and LEGO BATMAN 2. And ending with candid garbage, like LEGO JURASSIC WORLD. and LEGO BATMAN 3.. The first list also hit an atypical project for a series without a joint passage, which for a long time remained an exclusive Nintendo Wiiu.-. It was he who appeared on Nintendo SWITCH, PS4, PC. and Xbox One. In the form of an updated edition.

The new offers almost all the same as four years ago, but with perverted graphics and with the long-awaited appearance of a cooperative. This is a kind of clone Grand Theft Auto With the only reservation that in the open world we play per policeman. The main character, Chase McCain, Returns B. Lego City In order to help the mayor of the city, protect citizens from criminals, who have recently participate their raids. As authorities suggest, the legendary Racks Fury.

The detective investigation goes along a winding path from numerous plot missions that are offered as a passage of linear levels in the style of classic LEGO.- play and trips to the open world with car hijacking and hot chains. Developers are trying to diversify the most as much as possible, and as a result we are engaged in completely unexpected activities, such as work on the Chinese mafia, the coxy of the lunas and penetration into a super guarded bank.

In some places you will need to build a certain LEGO.-Please, for which the collection of special blocks hidden within reach, or the destruction of other objects with the subsequent assembly of the new subject is required.

Since the main character is alone, then the authors allow you to change images through the opening of new costumes, such as the robes of a policeman, robber, miner, astronaut and others. New clothes work like masks in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, endowing a character with unusual abilities. For example, the robber can crack the closed doors, a policeman to use a hook on a cable, Shakhtar is to break the barriers to pickle and use dynamite. All this allows you to open new areas of the world, find numerous secrets and undergo plot missions. And, of course, you can return and collect secrets that missed, with a new set of special abilities.
