If you don't know about it, it's sort of Lego-styled GTA, but with a story, an E 10+ rating, and no blood. Some of the best use of the Gamepad is in this game, where it can be used to find secrets.
It also has a [dukar]ton of Nintendo references.

How's the gameplay? Similar to Lego Star Wars and the like?

Yep, but it's singleplayer only and there's lots of gamepad centric stuff.
-
Interesting. It seems to have received good reviews, too.
-
The dialogue is pretty fun.
-
Good to know it doesn't fall apart and holds together well.
I want to play it, I think. What systems is it on?
-
Wii U.
I had my mom pick it up on her way home from work. :3

It's a big step up from Lego Star Wars/Indiana Jones/Batman. Sure, you can't make minifigures exlope like you could in those titles, but it's better in every other way. I've yet to encounter any Nintendo references, but there's no shortage of cultural allusions. The voice acting is pretty good as well.
EDIT: Is there a way to revert one's characters back to the default appearance after customizing them? I messed around with Chase's appearance a little, but when I went to change him back, his face wasn't an option. Now he's completely silent and expresisonless because the game thinks he's a custom character.
EDIT 2: Turns out Chase can be reselcted from a disguise booth.
EDIT 2.1: I love the brawl music.
-
If it's anything like Lego City, the game that defined my PC gaming experience as a 7 year old, it gets automatic nostalgia dollars from me.
-
You mean Lego Island?
-

Where?
On another note, the fact that I've completed the story and only gotten 25 percent through the game is promising.
-
The bluesy theme that plays when fighting criminals, not SSBB.
-
Ah. That is probably my second favorite track in the game. The first is the post-final boss skydive music
-
You mean Lego Island?
Whoops. Yes. I have fond memories of that game, though it probably wouldn't live up to a replay.
-
That game was boss... Though I never managed to catch the Brickster.
By the way, Undercover is much more action-oriented.
-
Did somebody say Lego Island?! I, for one, caught the Brickster. From what I remember, it wasn't easy, though. I'm afraid I can't remember how old I was at that time.
-
I caught the Brickster once but a doctor managed to cure me.
-
Nearing 70% completion.
Has anyone else encountered glitches? These Lego games are notorious for their shaky programming. Mine has frozen twice; both times I had to unplug the Wii U from the power unit to get it working again. Besides that, I've become hopelessly stuck behind objects a couple times, and the green arrow that points towards your destination sometimes appears and directs me to completely arbitrary points when I'm not doing anything.

I've seen minor fps drops, but nothing else.

I just realized that there are no children in Lego City.

And yet there's a playground by the police station.

Come to think of it, you can hear kids' voices when using the audio scan near the toy store.
EDIT: 86% done.
-
100%.
The reward for getting all the Gold Bricks is rather generic, but the gimmick you get for 100% completion is amusing.
-
Such a cool idea!
Makes me imagine an open-world mmo of legos!

And what is the 100% you-are-so-good-at-videogames prize?
