Lego City Undercover: The Chase Begins Rom

LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins came to the 3DS in April 2013, with Nintendo as publisher. The Lego City Undercover: The Chase Begins Rom is usually listed around 736 MB, often in .3ds or .cia format. It belongs to the EU region, so emulator setup matters more than some players expect. Many people now run it through Citra instead of using the original handheld. The ESRB rating is Everyone 10+, which fits the bright Lego look. Still, there is more game under the plastic paint than the screenshots suggest.

Chase starts before the badge means much

And Chase McCain is not the known city hero yet. He enters the Lego City force straight out of the police academy, with little more than a uniform. The first cases stay small. Then the trouble gets rougher, at least by Lego standards. It is a prequel, so this version of Chase still has to earn his name.

Lego City feels best when you waste a little time

The city opens up early, and that gives the 3DS version some loose charm. Chase can grab parked cars or hop into traffic, then tear around between cases. Some vehicles steer like junk. That is not always a bad thing. His police kit also changes as the game moves on, so later streets feel less empty than the first hour.

The thief outfit breaks the clean cop routine

But the disguises are where the game gets sharper. Chase finds costumes around Lego City, and each one changes what he can do. The thief outfit stands out because the crowbar opens locked doors his police uniform cannot touch. It feels odd, sure. He also fights with martial arts and climbs building fronts, pulling himself toward rooftops with no staircase nearby.
