Overall, LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins is only a game for gamers that are in denial that the Wii U version is better.After waxing lyrical about just how much we enjoyed LEGO City Undercover, a prequel arrives on the scene to douse our appetite for a further adventure with fearless cop Chase McCain. Also, there is no music unless you're fighting or driving. All of the music is ripped from the console version and placed into this one.

It is a series of loading times and fog in the distance. Driving around the city is no longer fun. Chase Begins take it all out, buries it in a hole somewhere, and makes it boring. It was one of the most fun games I've played in years. LEGO City Undercover on the Wii U was a fun game. Apparently, the characters aren't getting emotionally involved either as their mouths never move outside of the cutscenes and they just use the same voice clips over and over. This is a problem every single handheld LEGO game has. LEGO City Undercover had talking, why can't this one? The 3DS can handle it, just look at Kid Icarus: Uprising! It's a shame dialogue boxes had to even be put in here. There's just so much wrong with the story.
#LEGO CITY UNDERCOVER THE CHASE BEGINS 3DS HOW TO#
Chase not knowing how to use a Color Gun? He knows how to here (keep in mind this is a prequel). Rex Fury getting arrested on a bridge? He gets arrested in front of a bank. Rex Fury using a lawn mower as his escape vehicle? He jumps onto a moving car here. There are so many things in the Wii U version that are completely trashed here.
Because of the 3DS' capabilities, almost everything is either "under construction" or blocked off. The loading times are much longer here than they were in Undercover and the fog is pretty distracting. I would rather the game not even try to recreate the vast city in the Wii U version because this one just.fails.
Maybe it was because LEGO City Undercover on the Wii U was fantastic or something? I have no idea. Maybe it was because LEGO City Undercover on the Wii U was I'm honestly not sure why I was expecting much when it came to The Chase Begins. I'm honestly not sure why I was expecting much when it came to The Chase Begins. Other than those minor problems, Lego City Undercover: The Chase Begins is a solid, extremely entertaining game if you are looking for some light-hearted humorous game time. And finally, the disappointing lack of voice acting The voice acting in the cut scenes of the game is very well done, but throughout the other 98% of the game when the characters are communicating there is only on-screen text and no voice which leaves the character interaction feeling somewhat empty. The vehicle controls the vehicles in this game are rather wild, difficult to handle, and turn too abruptly which takes a while to adapt to. The combat all the combat is in this game is "press X to win" which I am not a fan of although I realize one of this game's primary demographics is children, so I can't get too upset about that. The loading screens they are few and far apart but when you do get them, they take entirely too long. I do have a few complaints about the game however. It ambitiously attempts to recreate the large open-world experience which was seen in the Wii U game and does so quite well. It ambitiously attempts to recreate the large open-world experience which was seen in the Wii U game and does so This game is very well done. Overall, I find LEGO City Undercover as an intriguing game, with some downsides that limit a fun game play experience. Though it gives tips on game play, after a few loading screens, you won't need any more tips, and then you just wait. Lastly, the loading time is ridiculously long and boring. I am not a fan of on-screen text with no voice because it is easy to miss the conversations of characters. Unlockables are too easy to obtain- some merely "hidden" on top of buildings or in a random box that you would destroy to get coins. Also, vehicle control is very fast-paced and difficult, leading to frequent crashes. Combat with the criminals is lacking, you can easily overpower them while other oncoming criminals don't bother to attack unless you are not currently fighting anyone.
The missions are too straight forward and easy to complete with no real puzzle or challenge, meaning- anyone can complete the game within a few days if they really wanted to. Lego City is a nice game in terms of what you get to do as a player, but the game has fatal flaws. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
