Is LEGO City Undercover good on Switch?

Yes, if you want a funny open-world LEGO game with plenty to collect. Expect older-looking visuals and slow loading rather than a polished new release.

Does it have two-player co-op?

Yes. The Switch version adds two-player local co-op, so two people can play on one console. There is no online co-op.

Is it different from the Wii U original?

The core game is the same. The Switch version adds two-player co-op and runs on newer hardware, but keeps the same city, story and missions.

Is it suitable for young children?

It is generally family-friendly, with cartoon slapstick and simple combat. Reading is needed for the story and mission hints, so younger kids may need help.

How long does it take to finish?

The main story runs roughly 15 to 20 hours. Collecting everything in the city takes considerably longer.

Does it need a memory card?

Yes, a microSD card is recommended because the game takes up significant storage space on the console.

Our take on the LEGO City Undercover Nintendo Switch

LEGO City Undercover is an open-world action game where you play undercover cop Chase McCain, chasing crooks through a brick-built city with vehicles, disguises and puzzles. The Switch version adds two-player local co-op, which the original Wii U release lacked. It suits families and LEGO fans who want a light, funny sandbox rather than a hard action game. Compared with other LEGO titles, its city is larger and freer to roam, though the port shows its older roots with long load times and frame-rate dips.
