Retro_Link Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) Not much to go on for now, but the 3DS game will be a Prequel to the Wii U game, even though it comes out afterwards! :p http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/01/17/lego-city-undercover-titles-dated LEGO City: Undercover will launch on Wii U in North America on March 18, while the game's prequel, LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins, will arrive on 3DS on April 21.

Serebii Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 I was going to ignore this game, but my love for the Wii U one is making me reconsider
Fused King Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 So this has officially become a thing then. I wonder if NINTENDO has managed to get any other western teams to get them to make a 'thing' for them.
-Dem0- Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 Nintendolife Review: LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins is an enjoyable game that features many of the hallmarks of a quality LEGO title – there's tons of content, a decently crafted campaign and some fun uses of the 3DS hardware. However, it's burdened by several technical issues that sap away at some of its appeal and prevent it from being the handheld blockbuster it could have, and should have, been. http://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/3ds/lego_city_undercover_the_chase_begins
liger05 Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 Might get it if it goes cheap. The Loading times sound horrific.

Compared to its partner, it's undeniably compromised. Taken on its own merits, however, there's still enough charm and fun to be found in this smaller toybox to make it a worthy second best choice.

FireMeowth Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Bought the game a couple of hours ago, but won't have time to play it before later tonight. Definitely looking forward to it, though~

V. Amoleo Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 After enjoying the Wii U version I've gone and ordered it too. I know the reviews haven't been overly positive but it still looks fun.
Andyliini Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 I too wan't to know how this game works on the 3DS. I'm on the fence on buying it, and I lover the Wii U -game, but if this is just more of the same in smaller scale, I probably won't bother and get Luigi's Mansion 2 instead.
flameboy Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 I'm interested to hear what you think. Don't have a Wii U but if this is good would pick it up.
welsh_gamer Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 Spent a few hours with the game so far. It's okay, pretty average. Having played the Wii U version, the city does lack some character due to the pop ups, fog and lack of people on the streets, and as there's not much music or spoken dialogue outside the main cut scenes, the games does feel a bit empty. Missions are much simpler and shorter too, and as a result feel a bit more repetitive than usual. Children should enjoy it, but adults should seek out the Wii U version if they can
welsh_gamer Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 So just finished story mode, with just under 5 and a half hours on the clock. That was disappointingly short
V. Amoleo Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 So just finished story mode, with just under 5 and a half hours on the clock. That was disappointingly short I won't receive mine until tomorrow. Does it still have a load of unlockables?
welsh_gamer Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Does it still have a load of unlockables? Yes, there are plenty of vehicles and characters to unlock by exploring the city in more detail, but it does seem difficult to keep track of what you've got and what you haven't. Personally I have no incentive to go after them in this version, my copy is already on eBay
V. Amoleo Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 My copy arrived today. I haven't played it for very long but here are my initial impressions. It's a good representation of the Lego City but the fog and pop-up ruin the feeling of a living toy town. There is a lack of music and voiced dialogue but there is non-voiced dialogue, so I didn't miss it that much but I feel it would hurt the experience for children. There's occasional slow down but I don't feel it hampers the gameplay that much. The horrible load times remain from the Wii U. I'd say they're made even more annoying being on a portable game. I want to play a few more missions before I say how they are.
flameboy Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Hmmm I wasn't considering getting this but then Reviews on the Run gave it a really good review hmmm....
