Voiced cutscenes pop up from time to time, which add a desperately needed spark. In The Chase Begins, McCain is on his own, leaving him without a steady comic foil. McCain and his buddy Frank Honey are fun characters, and I enjoyed chasing after villain Rex Fury with them in the Wii U game. And in its biggest crime, hero Chase McCain and the rest of Lego City are largely rendered silent. Missions are simplified beyond even Lego standards. Compartmentalized tracts of land replace the original’s large open world. Lego City Undercover: The Chase Begins systematically dismantles all of the parts I loved about the Wii U game to the point where I wonder why Nintendo even bothered.
