LEGO City Undercover: THE GTA for kids ...

A quick peek at one of the other upcoming games from Traveller's Tales, the official developer of LEGO games with LEGO City: Undercover (Eg LEGO City: Stories, renamed we do not really know why, perhaps not to remind GTA too much ...).

Basically and in summary, you are Chase McCain, an undercover cop, who must hunt down and stop the very bad criminal Rex Fury using multiple high-tech gadgets, all on Nintendo 3DS and Wii U with a new gamepad. which should be brought into play in a smart way.

The promise is enticing: An open environment in which you can go wherever you want when you want, with many side missions, the ability to take on different roles and disguise at will, to pilot different land and air vehicles , and maybe even to play two in cooperative mode.

The release date is currently vaguely announced for 2012, and fans of the City line, GTA, LEGO video games, etc, etc ... should find their account, if the game is not a Ultra-buggy interstellar failure ... but I think TT Games can be trusted on this point.

All we have are some screenshots, which I put on Hoth Bricks facebook page and the trailer below.

The official game page also allows you to discover some posters of the characters of the game.
