@DanneSandin: I agree that it will be something around the 80s, like the rest of the Lego games.

I think that Edge's score seems a bit... off... a 5/10? that's really low for a game like this!

If you read the review that milkyjoe posted earlier you'll see that it's full of negativity. Basically seems that the one who reviewed it doesn't like Lego and looks at the game as if it was only for kids.

But didn't the game get decent score? But yeah, it seems as if "kiddie" games usually gets lower scores in general. I guess it really depends on the reviewer



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

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

The game looks interesting but with Luigi's mansion 2, Monster Hunter and Fire Emblem coming it'll have to wait. I hope it does well though.



Current metacritic score: 78 based on 10 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

Other reviews are: 90, 90, 90, 90 and 80, 80, 80 and 70

8/10 from IGN. That's about where I'd like the game's average score to be.

I'm telling you, EDGE hates fun. There is no other explanation.
