Seems like a really well-made game, but what about the characters? What's the draw, exactly, besides having Lego in the title? Is this really going to sell well? Although, given the game drought, it just might.

Reading about it makes me want to play it, but most of those this is aimed at won't be reading reviews. I hope there is at least some marketing on Nickelodeon or other channels of that ilk.

Also, Rex Fury is a badass name.

Story-wise, Lego City Undercover plays out like a buddy cop movie parody with a large emphasis on pop culture references and light-hearted humor. The game is open-world, hence comparisons to GTA, but puzzles and platforming challenges are the bread and butter much like other LEGO games.

So I believe it's for kids and people who like to laugh a lot.
