What Games To Consider (March 25th – March 29th)

Wii U

March 28th:
–      Lego City Undercover (Wii U Exclusive)

I can almost hear your gasps from here, but yes fellow gamers, this week we will see the release of a convincing Wii U game in the form of Lego City Undercover. For the first time in the series’ long history, we finally have a Lego video game based on a novel idea. Harnessing cinematic inspirations from the likes of Die Hard and Goodfellas, Lego City Undercover is an amiable sandbox styled adventure that appeals to gamers of all ages. Developed by Traveller’s Tales, players will step into the pixelated boots of Chase McCain, as he attempts to take down the villainous Rex Fury.

Early reviews have hailed the open world gameplay and hidden in-jokes that the franchise is loved for, plus, this is the kind of third-party release that the console has been crying out for. If the philosophy behind the Wii and the subsequent Wii U was to unite a family through the medium of video games, then this game would serve as the perfect embodiment of this approach. Labelled as a kid-friendly Grand Theft Auto without sacrificing any immersive depth in the process, Lego City Undercover is building up brick by brick to be a fantastic release for the beleaguered console.

Price Breakdown based on RRP’s in US & UK:

Lego City Undercover is set at $49.99 (£39.99)
