LEGO City Undercover is an open world, action adventure game. You take on the role of Chase McCain, an undercover cop, looking to track down an escaped villain by the name of Rex Fury.

The gameplay sees Chase take on a variety of disguises that each come with their own set of mechanics and abilities, all in an attempt to stop Rex before he brings an end to LEGO City. Whilst the majority of gameplay takes place in the open world, the game also includes 15 unique, standalone levels. These are defined as special missions, adding visual variety and a whole host of parodies from countless movies.
