Current metacritic score: 79 based on 22 reviews

Highest: 95 (Canadian Online Gamers)

"Everything from the tried and true LEGO gameplay sprinkled with some great new additions, a comedic script, and an entertaining storyline provides a gaming experience suitable for all ages which, in my eyes, makes LEGO City Undercover a must buy for fans of the LEGO franchise and Wii U owners alike." -COG

Lowest: 50 (Edge Magazine)

"But for parents and adults, Undercover is a less inviting prospect, even with its satirical undertone. It’s a plastic facsimile of GTA – a game that was hardly humourless to begin with, and one that has already spawned a genre’s worth of more sophisticated rivals and clones." -Edge

Most reviews gives it 90 or 80... Ain't too bad!

Current gamerankings score: 81.11 based on 18 reviews

Highest: 95 (Canadian Online Gamer)

Lowest: 50 (Edge Magazine)

Seems like pretty good scores so far, except for Edge... What do you guys think the end score will be? I'm thinking around the 80-mark, give or take 5 points.

I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Wow no kidding, the hardcore techy Edge thinks its too good for Lego City. Didn't see that coming...

I'm also pretty sure Gameinformer gave it 8.5/10?

Either way my copy is already paid for and i'm waiting on it. Such a great year for the Wii U (and such a bad year for my gaming budget).

I'm concerned by the lack of main story length...

I'm not, if the city is just fun to play around in. My son and I never did any of the story missions in GTA:SA (maybe one or two) but we played it endlessly.

Well.. it seems that the game is really getting great scores. Only Edge score is keeping it to get an average above 80.
We still should wait more reviews to come, but so far it seems that Edge editors didn´t understand the purpose of this game. This is not intented to be a GTA, as they states. This is a game with its own personality.
