Not pointing out the soundtrack is an unforgivable sin The game has really memorable tracks like the vehicle robbery theme, rex fury's secret base and the space diving segment
"In lego city the combat was more defensive" Me: finding every single way I can throw people off into a fatal hazard and watch them break apart. Mmm, yes.
What I want is LEGO City 2 with additional Scuba Diver and Arctic Explorer disguises and a story where Chase teams up with either Frank or Natalia the entire game, giving the 2nd player a character that'd make more sense in the world and an opportunity to add co-op gameplay elements.
But maybe they could do a more interesting history with frank for example or Nathalia, as main characters and focus more on unique authenticity than stupid memes
Finally someone who enjoys the game as much as me. I got the game in 2015 on the WiiU and I've been playing it on and off for years. Its such an underrated LEGO game.
i remember watching blitzwinger gameplays of it back when it released , i finally bought the game on my xbox in 2018 ish , it was a VERY surreal experience . Imagine playing a game finally for the first time after watching it for years since you were 4
It's not often I see people who love this game as much as I do. Like you, I consider LEGO City Undercover to be my comfort game as well. I was in high school when it came out on the Wii U and it...brings me so much joy even into my adult years. Amazing that it will be ten next year. It is disheartening to see not many people fawning over this game as they do with others, including Skywalker Saga as of recent. Despite that, I do hope that one day it'll get another continuation. Maybe it's just wishful thinking but part of me is hoping they're just waiting for the right time to do it. Sequels can take years to develop and I prefer they take their time and not rush it. But I never knew the Tt devs considered that game to be their favorite so it kinda brings me hope. With Skywalker Saga done, I hope they're considering revisiting this series. If not then maybe this game's legacy will forever be great. Great Video.
In the last cutcenece after arresting Rex Blackwell space ship gets hit by a cow and if I am correct he must have gone far away in the galaxy and died or maybe not
I got this game in 2015 and I was obsessed with it. I’ve completed the game a dozen times and I’ve always wanted there to be a part 2 where they catch Blackwell or something
If there will ever be a sequel of this game I will be the happiest person on earth, this game was my childhood and I will never stop coming back to it, I never get bored of it
complete timeline. Probably the coolest thing that nobody has talked about. The Lego 2011 police Station set shows Derek as one of the characters he has the same face. but his hair is covered by the cap he’s wearing. and also one of the criminals is in the game. he also came out in a few other sets. always wearing some kind of hat. Another cool thing is the Lego sets kind of tell a story. For instance the 2011 police station set takes place right before the game. hence why they have different badges. 15:39 And then we see him more and more first case being when he first came out in that Lego set. Then coming out in shorts. we can assume that the shorts and the rest of the Lego sets came after the game take place a few years after undercover which is why he is seen so much. he is well trust in the moment everybody police department in Lego city. also in the shorts which is why lots of criminals know his name because it’s still fresh in their minds what happened to Rex fury and everybody else. and I have a theory for why he doesn’t come out anymore. ___________________________ Theory 1 He retired. so he already pretty old so eventually he retired. ___________________________ Theory 2 He could’ve been fired or demoted: most likely for this. 22:25 for police brutality. ____________________________ Theory 3 the most likely He could still be working as a cop and we just don’t see him anymore ___________________________ Theory 4 Duke detain could be an alternate version of him from another universe. having the Nickelodeon show be in a different universe. Or he could be his son! his son changing his name to “Duke detain“ as a fake not to be associated with his father. I don’t watch the nickelodeon show. Also thank you for making a video about one of my favorite games from my childhood 🫶
I desperately wanted a WiiU just for this game. My parents never gave in but I’m glad they didn’t, the console didn’t last long. When they remastered it for Xbox One, I bought it as soon as I could! It remains my favourite LEGO game. It has the funniest, sharpest, most adult comedy and script. The hub world is simply stunning - none of the others come close. Chase is a fantastic lead - I have the minifigures of both versions somewhere in my room. When someone asks what LEGO game I recommend, I always say this one!
Thank you for this video, this game is really underrepresented on TH-cam! Was very cool to get a little insight on it. I love it so so much, it's so relaxing and just fun. Jokes and humor are so good and i really like all the missions and the story. The whole world is so amazing, it feels alive, calming and sometimes chaotic and it feels very believable for me. I could write a lot more about why I love this game but I'm gonna leave it to that. Everyone who loves this game too is instantly a more likable person :D
Imagine if a lego city adventures undercover crossover happened If Joesph is available, they should hire him. If not, the guy who played chase in the police series will be hired
If lego city undercover 2 ever comes, they should hire Joseph to play Chase once again, but if they can't, the guy who played him in the police shorts will
The 3ds version is very nostalgic for me and I always wanted to play the wii u version as a kid. When I got a switch I finally got to play that version and man it was amazing. I still go back to it to play here and there, such a great game.
Wow i always thought i was the only one who has such good memories with Lego City Undercover even tho it isnt my favourite game it will always be a good gaming memory.Just earned a follow ,keep up the nice content.
This game has also been my comfort game since I first played it on Wii U in 2013. My absolute favorite. I've 100%'d it several times over the years, most recently on Switch in Late 2022. Thank you for highlighting such a fun, creative, innovative game in such detail! I've found kindred spirits.
Why didn’t they make the second character Fred Honey? Sure, the guy isn’t “cool” like chase, but he is both funny and charming, a really nice and sweet dude, I’m sure a lot of people would either be happy with that or just not care and only want to oaky the game.
Really sweet video, just right for me as I am in a Lego City Undercover Nostalgia wave right now. I truly need to replay this game soon. One of my all time childhood favourites. Thank you so much for making this documentary, it made me love the game even more.
LEGO City Undercover is also one of my absolute favorite games! It's one I can keep going back to; it's comforting. I would LOVE a sequel! I think, for me, one of the reasons it just feels so good and fresh is that is was NOT a licensed game. With all of the licensed stuff, we all had an idea of what to expect from characters and plot. But with LCU, it was all completely new, so jokes were fresh and situations were unexpected. Sure, they did a lot of homages to classic TV and movies, but it was an original IP, so we had no expectations. I love this game so much!
I just played and beat this game over the course of the summer... It's truly so incredibly fun and really well done. I really wish/hope to see more things come of it, but if not, I think it's pretty neatly tied up. We have the backstory and the main game, plus a few sets. The only reason to bring it up again would be to truly capture Mr. Blackwell, but as it stands, I'm content with how it ended. Thanks for making this video, I really enjoyed it!
My man! Another true fan of Lego City Undercover! I actually started off with the 3DS version because I drive semis and couldn't really hook up a TV in the bunk, plus the all the bumps would kill the laser alignment of the system. I did eventually get a Wii U and the proper game and loved it. I was over the moon when it was getting ported to PC. I could download it on my laptop! Since then, I have come close to logging in 800 hours in the game on Steam. I saw it as a more accessible version of GTA since rather than assaulting people to take their car you just shout, "Police business!" and they willingly get out. And I have collected all three versions of the Chase minifig even. I got the Dimensions pack, which I also love for allowing me to insert Chase into all those other worlds too. The other two I got off eBay along with both red getaway cars and the Dasher motorcycle. And I would like to note that the song used in the Lego City Undercover ad for the port was called "Electric Groove" by the band LazerHawk. I was pretty disappointed that Chase has been retired though. It really hurt in I think the second season of LEGO City Adventures when there was an exchange with a Lego sister city. I really thought we would see the Chase/Duke buddy cop episode we disserved. Instead, it was a British lady. But LEGO City Undercover has been the foundation of my concept of Lego City in general. I made a minifig of myself, as most Lego fans do. And came up with stories for him in Lego City where starts as a truck driver like me but is quickly pulled into crazy adventures after accidently being pulled into a portal. Professor Stan Leroy (my own Stan Lee kind of guy) and his assistant Sasha Fury (distant relation to Rex) were experimenting on a Vortex generator that had been unearthed decades ago under Apollo Island. It malfunctioned and accidentally pulled my guy into a dumping ground where excess stuff from throughout the multiverse ends up. While there he finds all kinds of cool stuff whisked away from other dimensions. Once he's extracted, he is made a member of the team so along with Sasha and Stan Leroy he explores the different dimensions.
They really do need to create another LEGO City Undercover game! And I kept thinking that they should create another one and have us avatars join the police team and stop Forrest Blackwell from taking over the world after what happened to him in the last game.
I still believe Rex somehow will find a way to escape... and concidering how rich is Blackwell i wouldn't be suprised if they make Lego Elon Musk and Blackwell's men sent people to search for Blackwell in space with Elon's help (since they're both rich people, and it would be hilarious to see a Lego Elon musk) and about Elon... imagine Lego Tesla vehicles in the game lol. Including a Lego Cybertruck. There's just SO MUCH potential
Those adds are sooo nostalgic, and so is the set, tho it stands in pieces on my collection today The game was also great, it’s humor is hilarious and so fun
I love lego city so much, I watched it as a kid and when I saw it on the Switch I instantly got it. I've played it daily and I've been having so much fun... Also why is the ending music with the skydive someof the best damn music I've ever heard in a game?
I remember playing this game and having some really fond memories of it back in 2013! While I never 100% completed it as a kid, I bought the Switch version back in 2020, and managed to 100% complete it for the first time! TT Fusion did a great job at achieving the goal of trying to create a _LEGO City_ video game, where the player can engage in all of the major jobs of LEGO City. (With the undercover part being a clever way to integrate the need to commit various crimes throughout the story.) I also fondly remember buying the 2013 High Speed Chase Set [Set Number 60007] from LEGOLAND California on my birthday, and later playing out many stories with the Chase McCain Minifigure! To this day, I really do wish The LEGO Group did a lot more with the universe of _LEGO City Undercover,_ as I'd say the game helped give _LEGO City_ a more concrete identity through its narrative, just like _Bionicle,_ _Monkie Kid,_ or _Ninjago._ (The latter of which I am a huge fan of.) I get that the original intent of the _LEGO City_ theme is that the Sets are supposed to be generic enough for children to imagine unique stories for the characters, but having established characters like Johnny Thunder, Tahu, Lloyd, or Emmet are just as great! Given the common complaint about _LEGO City_ Sets nowadays being that they are too focused on action features and capturing the attention spans of children, I sort of wish that The LEGO Group had _LEGO City Undercover_ be a subtheme of _LEGO City,_ focusing more on creating action sets starring the game's established characters, thus freeing up the main _City_ sets for more ideas towards slice of life scenarios as seen in recent _LEGO Creator_ or _LEGO Friends_ sets.
I think it’s my favourite game after Minecraft, I played it literally on 3DS for the first time 10 years ago and I only played Wii U version (the original version) later. The story, the open world and various aspects of the game made it so well done, I think I will play it again soon, or play another Lego game, cause I love legos so much
Here is a bit of a follow-up comment towards my previous one that was regarding how _LEGO City Undercover_ was sadly underutilized by The LEGO Group. While it is a tragedy that The LEGO Group has practically abandoned _LEGO City Undercover_ and never utilized its true potential, the memories I have of the game will still continue to live on to this very day. LEGO can retire sets, themes, and concepts, but they will never be able to retire our fond memories of the things we love. This reminds me of how despite never owning any _LEGO Ninjago_ sets, I am still a passionate fan of the franchise even though I've only seen the amazing TV show! Even when the _Ninjago Legacy_ remake sets have been retired, the show still holds up as more of a saga than a toy advertisement, and that's what mattered to me. And the same can be said about _LEGO City Undercover._ Even if it primarily utilized retired products, reused models from previous games, and a scant amount of sets from years 2011-2013, it still encapsulates the whole appeal of _LEGO City._ And the best part about a theme having great tie-in media like _Ninjago's_ TV Show, _The LEGO Movie,_ or _LEGO City Undercover,_ is that they can be revisited by future generations and create new memories for them, even if they cannot buy any of the sets shown of in the tie-in media. Our favorite LEGO sets and themes will retire from being sold some day, but the memories we have of them will never retire.
I still prefer LEGO Marvel 1 and Batman 2 for nostalgia reasons, but LEGO City is truly the shining City on the hill when it comes to LEGO games, it's just so rich and funny. So full of stuff to do in an impeccable and memorable Open World that's just so so BIG. You never runnout of stuff to do, and everything in the open world feels less organized than other lego games, like the city feels alive, and real, the limitations on your freedom of movement makes traversing the open world so enjoyable, because you can take the train, steal a car or walk around, taking in the scenery and discovering stuff to do, instead of just flying everywhere like in other LEGO games. Beautiful game.
A thought: devs probably liked that game the most since it was the first in a while "unlicensed" game and probably means they didnt have to fight with brands or smth
Hey I just started playing this game recently because of this video and just wanted to say it's fantastic. One of the best lego game and open world experiences I've had. Also idk if this is a hot take but I lowkey think this game has the best Lego combat. Yeah there's no real threat of death obviously but I find chases Judo thows and tossing guys into eachother engaging compared to just bashing guys until they break apart in most lego games
Oh yeah, about the part with Lady Liberty. In the final game, Lego City is based on San Francisco. Perhaps early on it was supposed to be based on New York.
Actually a lot of the districts are based on other cities, like bright lights plaza is based on New York, kings court is based on London, etc. Cherry tree hills and auburn bay bridge are based on San Francisco.
This is honestly my favourite game ever I completed it from start to finish about 20 times now (no cap) I love the storyline it never gets boring and the ending where the skydive takes place is the definition of Epic especially the music
Thank you so much for uploading this! There was a lot about LEGO city undercover I didn’t know that I thought I knew! This is indeed the best game of all time. I’m currently going thorough it for the 4th time lol.
My idea for a Sequel would have Chase be framed for a crime, and sent for 2 Years Imprisonment. In order to prove his innocence he has to team up with Rex Fury and other crooks he threw in Jail to uncover a Criminal Conspiracy and save the world!
My concept was almost similar as well,my idea was after Chase won Policemen of the Year award,he would then get framed by an Anonymous Hacker and as Chase races against time to prove his innocence he finds out the Hacker is a Cop in Lego City Undercover
I reckon the main reason Chase is out of character in the LEGO Dimensions pack is that I didn't write his dialogue that time. Which I'd totally forgotten about, but it kinda' stings that they took all the characters I wrote and then knocked out a pack with them without any involvement from me. Or, I think, from anyone at Fusion.
What a childhood game, i loved the randomness and goofiness and also the serious moments of the game, the car robberies theme was so fire i purposley took time to get into the garage and it was really funny walking around as rex fury just destroying everything
i remember watching the switch trailer for it and me and my brother were so happy when they announced multiplayer. we always wanted multiplayer when we played it on the Wii U. i just beat the game again yesterday
I’ve been a big fan of this game for years, and I just now figured out because of this video that I have both of the sets based on this game! I knew I had them, I just didn’t know they were actually promotion for this awesome game.
This game really is an underrated gem. I remember when i was younger and the only Lego game i played was Lego Batman 1 on my PSP. I loved watching gameplays of this game, especially since i was so into Lego back then. I love watching my sets in the game and say "Hey, i have that one". I'm still into Lego, but it's mostly Star Wars nowadays
one of my fav games ever also. I played more than 300 hours on wiiu, 150 hours on 3ds and now completing this again on pc. This game gives me so much memories. Thanks for this video. I really wanna play on wiiu again but it was deleted from Nintendo Eshop
I still remember playing undercover on my Wii U and my childhood was pretty ruined when McCain used violence instead of self defense and also lost a copy for my switch
The game sold over 1 million on the Wii alone. If you add in all the other versions too, then....... It really, really, really deserves a sequel where Chase goes to a new city.
I played the 3DS version around 10 years ago (we even have 2 physical copies of the 3DS game💀), and I got the Steam version just a couple of years ago 💀 LEGO City (and LEGO Batman 2 which we got for 3DS and Wii, and since a few years ago I also got it on PC) is probably one of my favorite games aswell
The quote from Matt Palmer tells me that TT can do so much better and have fun while working on games where they have complete control instead of just more licenced games that have to fit the mold. The superhero Lego games are great to me because they make stuff up on the spot that still fits within that universe, and tge same goes for Lego City Undercover, my second favorite Lego game
I remember when this game came out, I must have been like 8 when it released. Watched a fair few playthroughs of it and even had a few of the crossover sets, (I sadly only have the museum now, everything else has disappeared). As I have a xbox I might actually buy a copy and finally see if it was as good as 8 year old me thought it was.
When 2012 came, 2 key games in my childhood set my future in my enjoyment of video games. Story mode wise: Lego City Undercover Multiplayer wise: Battlefield 3
I wanted to do a history video of this game myself cus its also probably my fav game but on my research i found your video and you really did an amazing job i wasnt even close with my research so far! Loved this video!
Thank you! But you're welcome to make your own video as well, I looked at your channel and I think you have a unique perspective with your speedruns of the game! Perhaps a speedrun history? I'd love to see that!
@@TheRWK I could do that but i would probably do it in my native language that is german! I wouldnt do a full lenght dokumentation in english but maybe subtitles!
Something you missed was that "LEGO City Stories" was planned to be on the 3DS AND Wii U but we only got the Chase Begins on 3DS. It would have been really cool to have the full Undercover game on handheld.
I approve of this video.
Chase, stop with the police brutality in Lego Dimensions lol
Oh hey it’s the guy from GTA
@@Arik_Cool I CANT HELP IT
nicr
YOOOOO!!! How's LEGO City doing? Still better than San Andreas?
Not pointing out the soundtrack is an unforgivable sin
The game has really memorable tracks like the vehicle robbery theme, rex fury's secret base and the space diving segment
Some of the unused ones like ruby jaguar are even better.
“Chase Time Trial” is arguably the best song in the game. Plays in the mission where you drive a limo for Blackwell.
The bluebell mines and Barry's dojo are my favs there so relaxing but i also like the different tracks in chase begins
It makes me sad that they never gave this game a sequel.
There's so much potential.
Yea..
Woah.
Really?
Where you read that?
Same
Gave it a prequal on the 3ds
They made a 'sequel'
"In lego city the combat was more defensive"
Me: finding every single way I can throw people off into a fatal hazard and watch them break apart.
Mmm, yes.
What I want is LEGO City 2 with additional Scuba Diver and Arctic Explorer disguises and a story where Chase teams up with either Frank or Natalia the entire game, giving the 2nd player a character that'd make more sense in the world and an opportunity to add co-op gameplay elements.

Lego Dimensions was sequel ,but I want another sequel. Please vote for sequel.
So grateful that you made this, it makes me sad that basically no one talks in depth about this game like they used to. Thanks
Yoo i wrote the exact same haha
We really do need a sequel!
I kind of thought we would seeing how we never actually arrested Blackwell 🤔
In the last cutcenece after arresting Rex Blackwell space ship gets hit by a cow and if I am correct he must have gone far away in the galaxy and died or maybe not
@@shadowkiller6-7 yeah he got hit but it was while he was falling back to earth
@@chelseaallen5645 what if he got hit out of earth's orbit?
The game has a prequel on 3ds
This game was amazing, I've got both the switch and 3ds version. Both are probably some of the best games I've played.

The home console version is a part 2, but I also wanted one
Such a beautiful look into such an underrated game!
very true
The fact that this game hasn’t gotten a sequel is an actual crime, it is a fantastic open world game
It is a sequal
Is the pun "crime" inteanded or not?
@@blackgaymanhe means a continuation of the original game perhaps a Lego City Undercover:Trilogy
If there will ever be a sequel of this game I will be the happiest person on earth, this game was my childhood and I will never stop coming back to it, I never get bored of it
complete timeline.
Probably the coolest thing that nobody has talked about.
The Lego 2011 police Station set shows Derek as one of the characters he has the same face. but his hair is covered by the cap he’s wearing. and also one of the criminals is in the game. he also came out in a few other sets. always wearing some kind of hat.
Another cool thing is the Lego sets kind of tell a story.
For instance the 2011 police station set takes place right before the game. hence why they have different badges. 15:39
And then we see him more and more first case being when he first came out in that Lego set. Then coming out in shorts. we can assume that the shorts and the rest of the Lego sets came after the game take place a few years after undercover which is why he is seen so much. he is well trust in the moment everybody police department in Lego city. also in the shorts which is why lots of criminals know his name because it’s still fresh in their minds what happened to Rex fury and everybody else.
and I have a theory for why he doesn’t come out anymore.
___________________________
Theory 1
He retired. so he already pretty old so eventually he retired.
___________________________
Theory 2
He could’ve been fired or demoted:
most likely for this. 22:25 for police brutality.
____________________________
Theory 3 the most likely
He could still be working as a cop and we just don’t see him anymore
___________________________
Theory 4
Duke detain could be an alternate version of him from another universe. having the Nickelodeon show be in a different universe.
Or he could be his son! his son changing his name to “Duke detain“ as a fake not to be associated with his father.
I don’t watch the nickelodeon show.

It malfunctioned and accidentally pulled my guy into a dumping ground where excess stuff from throughout the multiverse ends up. While there he finds all kinds of cool stuff whisked away from other dimensions. Once he's extracted, he is made a member of the team so along with Sasha and Stan Leroy he explores the different dimensions.
bro i remember watching your old hot wheels movie videos because it was my childhood… This game is on that same timeline, perfect video
Lego city undercover is my childhood
They really do need to create another LEGO City Undercover game! And I kept thinking that they should create another one and have us avatars join the police team and stop Forrest Blackwell from taking over the world after what happened to him in the last game.
I still believe Rex somehow will find a way to escape... and concidering how rich is Blackwell i wouldn't be suprised if they make Lego Elon Musk and Blackwell's men sent people to search for Blackwell in space with Elon's help (since they're both rich people, and it would be hilarious to see a Lego Elon musk) and about Elon... imagine Lego Tesla vehicles in the game lol. Including a Lego Cybertruck.
There's just SO MUCH potential
When you showed the commercials,the first thing i thought of was:A MAN HAS FALLEN INTO A RIVER IN LEGO CITY
Gotta thank Tommy Anderson for writing the iconic line "A man has fallen into a river in LEGO City!"
Thank you for citing all of your sources in the description. I really wanted to see Proboscis-2's video for myself.
Check the end of discription
Those adds are sooo nostalgic, and so is the set, tho it stands in pieces on my collection today
The game was also great, it’s humor is hilarious and so fun
I love lego city so much, I watched it as a kid and when I saw it on the Switch I instantly got it. I've played it daily and I've been having so much fun... Also why is the ending music with the skydive someof the best damn music I've ever heard in a game?
if only tt games would make a sequel in the engine they used to make the skywalker saga. it would be so good
I remember playing this game and having some really fond memories of it back in 2013! While I never 100% completed it as a kid, I bought the Switch version back in 2020, and managed to 100% complete it for the first time! TT Fusion did a great job at achieving the goal of trying to create a _LEGO City_ video game, where the player can engage in all of the major jobs of LEGO City. (With the undercover part being a clever way to integrate the need to commit various crimes throughout the story.)
I also fondly remember buying the 2013 High Speed Chase Set [Set Number 60007] from LEGOLAND California on my birthday, and later playing out many stories with the Chase McCain Minifigure!
To this day, I really do wish The LEGO Group did a lot more with the universe of _LEGO City Undercover,_ as I'd say the game helped give _LEGO City_ a more concrete identity through its narrative, just like _Bionicle,_ _Monkie Kid,_ or _Ninjago._ (The latter of which I am a huge fan of.)
I get that the original intent of the _LEGO City_ theme is that the Sets are supposed to be generic enough for children to imagine unique stories for the characters, but having established characters like Johnny Thunder, Tahu, Lloyd, or Emmet are just as great!
Given the common complaint about _LEGO City_ Sets nowadays being that they are too focused on action features and capturing the attention spans of children, I sort of wish that The LEGO Group had _LEGO City Undercover_ be a subtheme of _LEGO City,_ focusing more on creating action sets starring the game's established characters, thus freeing up the main _City_ sets for more ideas towards slice of life scenarios as seen in recent _LEGO Creator_ or _LEGO Friends_ sets.
I think it’s my favourite game after Minecraft, I played it literally on 3DS for the first time 10 years ago and I only played Wii U version (the original version) later. The story, the open world and various aspects of the game made it so well done, I think I will play it again soon, or play another Lego game, cause I love legos so much
Here is a bit of a follow-up comment towards my previous one that was regarding how _LEGO City Undercover_ was sadly underutilized by The LEGO Group.
While it is a tragedy that The LEGO Group has practically abandoned _LEGO City Undercover_ and never utilized its true potential, the memories I have of the game will still continue to live on to this very day. LEGO can retire sets, themes, and concepts, but they will never be able to retire our fond memories of the things we love.
This reminds me of how despite never owning any _LEGO Ninjago_ sets, I am still a passionate fan of the franchise even though I've only seen the amazing TV show! Even when the _Ninjago Legacy_ remake sets have been retired, the show still holds up as more of a saga than a toy advertisement, and that's what mattered to me. And the same can be said about _LEGO City Undercover._ Even if it primarily utilized retired products, reused models from previous games, and a scant amount of sets from years 2011-2013, it still encapsulates the whole appeal of _LEGO City._
And the best part about a theme having great tie-in media like _Ninjago's_ TV Show, _The LEGO Movie,_ or _LEGO City Undercover,_ is that they can be revisited by future generations and create new memories for them, even if they cannot buy any of the sets shown of in the tie-in media. Our favorite LEGO sets and themes will retire from being sold some day, but the memories we have of them will never retire.
I agree with all of this! Thank you for writing this great comment!
I still prefer LEGO Marvel 1 and Batman 2 for nostalgia reasons, but LEGO City is truly the shining City on the hill when it comes to LEGO games, it's just so rich and funny. So full of stuff to do in an impeccable and memorable Open World that's just so so BIG. You never runnout of stuff to do, and everything in the open world feels less organized than other lego games, like the city feels alive, and real, the limitations on your freedom of movement makes traversing the open world so enjoyable, because you can take the train, steal a car or walk around, taking in the scenery and discovering stuff to do, instead of just flying everywhere like in other LEGO games. Beautiful game.
Man you deserve more attention!
What an brilliant video.
one of the things I love about the game is the driving gameplay. It baffles me the other lego games can not replicate it
Wow, I've finally played enough Lego City Undercover to unlock this video. Fantastic job!
This game doesn't get enough love
A thought: devs probably liked that game the most since it was the first in a while "unlicensed" game and probably means they didnt have to fight with brands or smth
Hey I just started playing this game recently because of this video and just wanted to say it's fantastic. One of the best lego game and open world experiences I've had.
Also idk if this is a hot take but I lowkey think this game has the best Lego combat. Yeah there's no real threat of death obviously but I find chases Judo thows and tossing guys into eachother engaging compared to just bashing guys until they break apart in most lego games
I completely agree. I think it has better combat than all the other LEGO games
Oh yeah, about the part with Lady Liberty.
In the final game, Lego City is based on San Francisco.
Perhaps early on it was supposed to be based on New York.
Actually a lot of the districts are based on other cities, like bright lights plaza is based on New York, kings court is based on London, etc.
Cherry tree hills and auburn bay bridge are based on San Francisco.
@@TheRWK Huh.
This is honestly my favourite game ever I completed it from start to finish about 20 times now (no cap) I love the storyline it never gets boring and the ending where the skydive takes place is the definition of Epic especially the music
This is such a good video. I love the way you narrate the video
Thank you so much for uploading this! There was a lot about LEGO city undercover I didn’t know that I thought I knew! This is indeed the best game of all time. I’m currently going thorough it for the 4th time lol.
“Nickelodeon I accept cash, credit, and studs” bro wym 😂
One of the best games i've ever played
What a legend you end the video with the last music used in Lego City Undercover
My idea for a Sequel would have Chase be framed for a crime, and sent for 2 Years Imprisonment. In order to prove his innocence he has to team up with Rex Fury and other crooks he threw in Jail to uncover a Criminal Conspiracy and save the world!
My concept was almost similar as well,my idea was after Chase won Policemen of the Year award,he would then get framed by an Anonymous Hacker and as Chase races against time to prove his innocence he finds out the Hacker is a Cop in Lego City Undercover
I reckon the main reason Chase is out of character in the LEGO Dimensions pack is that I didn't write his dialogue that time. Which I'd totally forgotten about, but it kinda' stings that they took all the characters I wrote and then knocked out a pack with them without any involvement from me. Or, I think, from anyone at Fusion.
Best Lego game and best MUSIC in a Lego game HAND DOWN
What a childhood game, i loved the randomness and goofiness and also the serious moments of the game, the car robberies theme was so fire i purposley took time to get into the garage and it was really funny walking around as rex fury just destroying everything
I don’t really play Lego games and I’ve never heard of Lego city undercover this vid auto played and I couldn’t stop watching good vid
Wow thanks that means a lot!
i remember watching the switch trailer for it and me and my brother were so happy when they announced multiplayer. we always wanted multiplayer when we played it on the Wii U. i just beat the game again yesterday
I’ve been a big fan of this game for years, and I just now figured out because of this video that I have both of the sets based on this game! I knew I had them, I just didn’t know they were actually promotion for this awesome game.
To see people love the games as much as I do gives me a smile!
This game really is an underrated gem. I remember when i was younger and the only Lego game i played was Lego Batman 1 on my PSP. I loved watching gameplays of this game, especially since i was so into Lego back then. I love watching my sets in the game and say "Hey, i have that one". I'm still into Lego, but it's mostly Star Wars nowadays
They need to make a third game so we can finally catch Blackwell and see where the tunnel leads and the hidden farm towns
A crossover with Chase McCain, Duke DeTain and the police chief from the mini movies would be really great.
one of my fav games ever also. I played more than 300 hours on wiiu, 150 hours on 3ds and now completing this again on pc. This game gives me so much memories. Thanks for this video. I really wanna play on wiiu again but it was deleted from Nintendo Eshop
I still remember playing undercover on my Wii U and my childhood was pretty ruined when McCain used violence instead of self defense and also lost a copy for my switch
0:29 you do know that the vehicle seen at the bottom left screen is an unused vehicle called the Marozi and it even has an unused icon?
i love this game and love when people give it attention! thank you!
Well done! Lego City Undercover is DEFINITELY MY GO-TO GAME!!!!! We also glitched at 99.9% and had to start over to get 100%.
26 MINUTE RWK VIDEO WHAT IS TODAY
Yo it’s you again!
Glad to know I’m not the only one who loves this game!
I'm still pissed how Lego pretended to forget about this game and replace it with the Lego City Adventures.
I need a sequel to this gem so badly...
THIS VIDEO CHANGED MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The game sold over 1 million on the Wii alone. If you add in all the other versions too, then.......
It really, really, really deserves a sequel where Chase goes to a new city.
OMG this game my favorite too! It's so Nastology! Thank you man 👍
“Stop or I’ll… keep running after you!”
If many minifigs have chase's face, then they are chase in disguise
I played the 3DS version around 10 years ago (we even have 2 physical copies of the 3DS game💀), and I got the Steam version just a couple of years ago 💀
LEGO City (and LEGO Batman 2 which we got for 3DS and Wii, and since a few years ago I also got it on PC) is probably one of my favorite games aswell
I’m genuinely sad that you referred to your ComPUPer as a ComPUTer
I love this game I have had it since I got my 3DS in 2014
Oh my gosh, the outro being that song literally made my heart sink back to 2013 oh my GOSH.
We need this back. PLEASE TT!
The quote from Matt Palmer tells me that TT can do so much better and have fun while working on games where they have complete control instead of just more licenced games that have to fit the mold. The superhero Lego games are great to me because they make stuff up on the spot that still fits within that universe, and tge same goes for Lego City Undercover, my second favorite Lego game
The songs still hit like a nostalgia truck
this is an underrated video... 👍
I remember playing that game so much when I was younger, and I remember completing the story mode and getting so happy
I remember when this game came out, I must have been like 8 when it released. Watched a fair few playthroughs of it and even had a few of the crossover sets, (I sadly only have the museum now, everything else has disappeared). As I have a xbox I might actually buy a copy and finally see if it was as good as 8 year old me thought it was.
Sir, you really delivered an excellent childhood nostalgia trip for me!
Great video!
Bro i really want a 2nd part of this game
When 2012 came, 2 key games in my childhood set my future in my enjoyment of video games.
Story mode wise: Lego City Undercover
Multiplayer wise: Battlefield 3
Why chase.... why the brutality... I miss the sound of those hand cuffs already. I enjoy arresting ppl.
I wanted to do a history video of this game myself cus its also probably my fav game but on my research i found your video and you really did an amazing job i wasnt even close with my research so far! Loved this video!
Thank you! But you're welcome to make your own video as well, I looked at your channel and I think you have a unique perspective with your speedruns of the game! Perhaps a speedrun history? I'd love to see that!
@@TheRWK I could do that but i would probably do it in my native language that is german! I wouldnt do a full lenght dokumentation in english but maybe subtitles!
Something you missed was that "LEGO City Stories" was planned to be on the 3DS AND Wii U but we only got the Chase Begins on 3DS. It would have been really cool to have the full Undercover game on handheld.
That trailer for the remake was the best LEGO game trailer ever!
Imagine if Duke Detain was in undercover
I love this game and it's also my favorite game but for Manny people it's so underrated
Great video, the skits towards the end were brilliant had a good laugh 😀
