Lego City Undercover review: A worthy remake

It may have been less than a month since the last Lego game (Lego Worlds, given an impressive 4/5 by The Independent), but it's never too long to wait for the next one in this prolific series, and it comes in the form of Lego City Undercover. No doubt by the time you've got to the end of this review, it will have been replaced by an even newer game in the franchise. Lego City Undercover is a port of the Nintendo Wii U exclusive from 2013. Widely regarded as one of the console's better games, it's now everyone else's chance to give it a go, with a release on most other platforms. Gameplay is essentially PG rated Grand Theft Auto, although rather than playing as a morally ambiguous protagonist with a shady past, you're placed in the tiny plastic shoes of Chase McCain, a wisecracking good guy cop tasked with taking out the villainous Rex Fury.
