lol I played and beat this game on the 3ds, it was so much fun just to goof around and see what tricks I could pull off or what fake chases I could do. It was so much fun! epic game ngl.
I can’t stress enough how much I love this game and I’m an adult! The movie references are hilarious! Shawshank Redemption 😂😂😂 the Matrix and many many more insane scenes !! Love it!!
Got it three times already. WiiU, PS4 and finally Switch. Thats how good this game is. Personal passtime: Put horses into trailers and drive em around.
The Switch version has what the other re-released ports don't: portability! That's why it's worth getting on the Switch for that reason alone! I wish they would make a sequel that would incorporate the other Lego City subthemes released since this game's launch, as well as story implemented multiplayer with another cop character like Grace or something. Also I think the addition of voice acting works well for this kind of Lego game. I know people say the games were better silent, but I think adding voice acting has helped with the humor and character development of these games. That is, except for movie tie-in games with pre-recorded dialogue that takes you out of the immersion, especially if the recording is of poor quality. I'm looking at you Lego Jurassic World!
Excellent review, very informative and gave me all the info I wanted to hear about the Switch version differences. I originally owned this title on the WIi U but didn't keep it for long, I'm happy they rereleased it so I may pick it up for the Switch when it drops a little in price! You've just earned a new Sub sir!
Stop waiting and just buy the game guys... it's really fun if you like story based games and collectathons. I waited too long to play this gem. One tip: drive with the d-pad! Haha

Just got it for $8.45 on Nintendo Switch July 25, 2020. It's on sale for like $8.99 and I had some credits. This has been on my wishlist for a long time and its been on sale on the time buts this is the cheapest I've seen it.
I have to thank you for making this review the game was literally $5 on the switch and I'm glad I got this game the first minute made me laugh thank you so much
Got this today at Best Buy for $18.99. I passed on it first time around. But I couldn't pass on a deal like that. So far I happy with it. I think they got the price mixed up with the Wii U version now that I think about it......
This is another game to add to my bucket list of my Nintendo Switch collection. This game is literally GTA kids version. Considering how disappointing the GTA Definitive Edition turned out, I lost hope that the Nintendo Switch won't have any games resembling GTA, but here comes Lego answering my prayers. Yeah, the game is aimed at kids, but so what? So were games like Spyro The Dragon, Mario Oddysey, Ratchet & Clank, Sly Cooper, Rayman, etc. Just because a game is aimed at children, doesn't mean adults can't enjoy it either.
I just got this for free from a friend and I was like yah whatever, but so far it's actually alright. It's like the G rated version of GTA. Same humor and style as the lego movies. I'll give it a shot...
Such a fantastic game but damn is there some jank. Framerate is terrible. Game crashes whenever it feels like. The platforming is atrocious at time. Charming game with so much to do and see, but marred by performance issues. What a shame.
do lego games getting a new entry every 3-4 months? basically 3-4 new lego games each year? not that Im complaining because I just recently found out about these games and how fun they are. now Im considering getting them all :P
Good video! I subscribed! I already had the game for the Wii U and already passed it, but I really liked it so I think I'm gonna pick it up again when I get a Switch. Keep up the good work! 👍
I’m buying this for PS5 just for the laughter that it’s “Lego GTA”. Also this switch version looks great I would’ve bought it there if I didn’t love collecting trophies.
David Oppenheim Wii U is the best but the Switch version is a very close second. Wii U is great for immersion. Switch is great for on the go and 2 player co-op
Main reason I got this on the switch is because my Wii U Gamepad is broken. Says unstable connection when it gets two feet away from the console or an out of place air molecule gets in the way. I’m serious
I have the 3ds game. But i always wanted iton the wii u. I never had a wii u but i am gonna get a switch soon im surely gonna buy this now i finally have the chance! After 3 years i finally can play this game!
I've done extensive checking, and the only reason I haven't bought this game is because of how terrible the Switch's framerate is while in portable mode. I would have also gotten it for PC, but WB Games just doesn't seem to give a fuck if their games are optimized or not. Let this be a lesson that Switch games need extensive optimization for them to work properly, and you probably won't get the performance or battery life of Mario Odyssey or Breath of the Wild on any games that aren't made by Nintendo themselves. Also third party indie titles (Hand of Fate 2 and Darkest Dungeon) are just bad ports of poorly optimized PC games, I get about an hour and a half playing Darkest Dungeon (Airplane mode and brightness at lowest setting) which is unacceptable as it's an entirely 2D game.
When playing this in handheld mode. I have noticed the people that are walking will be there. Sometimes when driving I see random people appear on the side. And sometimes disappear randomly.
Ugh I can't wait until the switch is cheaper so I can okay this game. I love the idea of co op and was disappointed when I couldn't play with another person. UGH
Despite your "buy it now" recommendation, nothing in this video made me want to play this game. I picked up a copy on sale for $30, but i haven't opened it yet and i think i'm going to return it. It just doesn't look like something i'd be interested in. Great detailed review though.
thedreadedzero It uses some of the best mechanics of Lego games, and it serves as an open world, GTA-lite style game with tons of stuff to do and vehicles to drive. It's a fun time if you have ever enjoyed another Lego game. If not, this one could change your mind.
Hey Nintendo reviewer ! I think you a great reviewer for game on the switch I just subbed, can you review dragon ball xenoverse 2 ? I wanna see what you think before I think of getting it
hows the fps compared to ps4 version ?? I really don't know which console I should I buy it for I want the ps4 one cause I think the graphics and fps is better but the switch cause it can be portable also Nintendo reference
Thank you! The developers were going to add the feature of playing with one joy-con pair but they removed it because of poor camera control from lack of a second analog stick. So for co-op you need two full controllers (a pair of joy-cons plus a pro controller or two pairs of joy-cons or two pro controllers) Hope you and your son enjoy this game!
OwenWarrior7870 if you’re using joy cons instead of pro controllers, each player needs two joycons because of the need for two thumb sticks for each player
Lrgo city undercover 3ds was theonly lego game where i never got bored at. So im sure for the switch its gonna be awesome because its the newer wii u version.
I know this is an old video but my 6 year old nephew got this for Christmas yesterday and we can’t work it out....(and yes, I’m old!) by pressing all the buttons I somehow got the character to jump and punch but how do you get him to walk?!?! There don’t appear to be instructions online, can anyone help?
@@ElNintendoReviewer thank you for your kind quick response. That’s what we thought but it didn’t work, perhaps we need to reboot it as it’s new and he’d only played mariokart before trying the Lego game. We will persevere! Thanks again and merry Christmas to you 🎄
Getting this for me and my 5 year old nephew , we gonna have fun lol this is the GTA for kids 😂🤣🤣🤣
It is gta for kids
@@michaelmodernsonicfan5341 it's pretty much the opposite of the game because you are a cop hehe
lol I played and beat this game on the 3ds, it was so much fun just to goof around and see what tricks I could pull off or what fake chases I could do. It was so much fun! epic game ngl.
Ahahah it is 🤣🤣🤣
It's GTA for anyone that isn't a degenerate, not just kids.
It's under 10 bucks right now on the eshop would definitely recommend at this low price
I can’t stress enough how much I love this game and I’m an adult! The movie references are hilarious! Shawshank Redemption 😂😂😂 the Matrix and many many more insane scenes !! Love it!!

This is the review I was looking for! One that clearly points out the differences between the two games!
I'd like to thank my lovely partner in crime Varsha for helping me get co-op footage. Thank you, my love! ❤️
You're welcome!
Great review, I own both copies and had a feeling something was off and now I know: I was missing the gamepad immersion. Weird but true.
Stop waiting and just buy the game guys... it's really fun if you like story based games and collectathons. I waited too long to play this gem. One tip: drive with the d-pad! Haha
But I don't have the money for it so im going to keep waiting
@@lel9435 I bought it second hand for €10,- ... if you look for used games you'll stumble upon a good price eventually
I waited till black Friday and now it's only $8.99 usd
I already have the game now

Thanks to your review and MAR10 day 2020, I decided to buy this game! I just completed story mode, and I really like this game. Thanks NH! :)
Jake Doss you’re very welcome! 😁

The load times never really bothered me, does it really bother people that much?
I love this game so much I finished it 4 times 100%
I just got this game today after returning Rollercoaster Tycoon Adventure. I can’t wait to start playing it!
Best $8.99 I've ever spent, and I'm 45. Lol. I'm very surprised how enjoyable this game is.
Did you enjoy the game?
You're never too old to sit back and enjoy a nice and fun single player game.
Yah I thought it might be lame too but after a few minutes it looks like it might be pretty awesome. G rated GTA it seems so far.
34 here. I bought it yesterday and play it 2 days like crazy. I'm on chapter 10 right now. I love open world games. Specially gta-style games.
This game is SOOO damn nostalgic.
it didn’t come out a full decade ago.
@@krakennvlyat alright
I still play it
14.99 on the eShop. Just got it!
Nice
This review is awesome! I'm going to buy this game right now
The original Wii U version will always be the best IMO.
I love this game, for anyone who like lego games this game is a must and fun for adults
I have to thank you for making this review the game was literally $5 on the switch and I'm glad I got this game the first minute made me laugh thank you so much

How's the frame rate so far?

@@chumlymartinez5485 thanks for your helpful reply :).

Just bought this game at Best Buy for $15 I also got MARIO + rabbids for $30

really cheap right now in the eshop, eu of course
I just bought a Wii U. Should I get the Wii U or Switch version?
MattMan Reviews if you want more immersion, get the Wii U version. If you want co-op, get the Switch version
Awesome review brother keep up the great work
Got it for the switch and it’s def a fun game .
Will we ever see a Lego game with levels made of Lego?
Some of the older PC LEGO games had that. Also there’s LEGO Worlds
Have no switch (yet) thinking about getting this game. Which is better: switch ., ds or WiiU?
David Oppenheim Wii U is the best but the Switch version is a very close second. Wii U is great for immersion. Switch is great for on the go and 2 player co-op
@@ElNintendoReviewer thanks i want to buy a system but looking which one :) now i know
100 percent my 2nd favorite LEGO game right next to LEGO Star Wars
The WiiU version was a little bit better because of the pad, the pad works as good as it does for ZombiU
Wait wut, i just got a heart?
Main reason I got this on the switch is because my Wii U Gamepad is broken. Says unstable connection when it gets two feet away from the console or an out of place air molecule gets in the way. I’m serious
Landlighter Firestar 😳 good thing you got the Switch version then

It's on sale right now (in Germany for 17.99€) switch price!
Hey should I get this? I played it through entirely on wii u but like 2 years ago and I wanna get it on switch but should I?
If you want it on the go then definitely yes. It’s currently on sale for $9 on the eshop
Am I the only one who’s having MAJOR performance problems on portable mode?
Michael Dust it’s $15 at Best Buy if you’re part of Best Buy’s gamers club
Nope, nearly everyone suffers with it, I suffer with it and as I turn the camera in the open world just rip FPS it shuts it's self...

Alot of games have that though sadly, I finished oddsey in 10 hours rip

Can you do co op in table top mode without buying an extra controller?
You can do it in table top mode but you still need a second pro controller or set of joy cons
