And the first lego city review is in....

http://gamrconnect.v...d.php?id=156529

- 8.5 out of 10

- humor, GamePad usage, hub praised

- features moderately high replay value

- platforming feels weak

- 360 scanning with GamePad was a negative for the reviewer

- providing players with better reasons to tackle sidequests, as well as how they're presented was another negative point

It isn’t perfect, but I can’t think of another Wii

U game that I’d recommend more than Lego City Undercover. It’s the most interesting and highly polished game in TT Games’ large repertoire, and it fills an important game gap. Now kids (and their parents) can tool around in a big town where people smile even as you almost run them over in an ice-cream truck.

Why all the negatives?

Cheap copy and paste from me from go nintendo :P

Im not a big fan of the lego games or sandbox ones :o Just quickly put it here for discussion. I will have to take a groundbreaking open world game to get me to try it again... i tried GTA4 last... didnt get on with it :P

I actually never really thought much of the franchise Lego games (star wars etc) - I played a few of them on the DS but Undercover looks much more of a giggle with the open world style of things. A lot of the lego games I played were often just small rooms with localised puzzles. I'm sure this will have that too but being able to blunder about on a lego dinosaur makes this automatically win.

I read somewhere that it contained American English - not English- the main reason for the change.

I heard the same, but people who have the UK version have said it accepts UK English and doesn't contain words like retard. Of course, they can't have checked everything.

So I know this is an issue a lot of people are having, and it's bound to have been brought up here a thousand times, but hey, it's my turn: my TV chops off the top and bottom of the Wii U's picture output.

I set the Wii U up today for the first time and immediately noticed the picture on the TV looked zoomed in. Applications such as the eShop and Miiverse allow you to change the screen size yourself, but it's limited to those applications. During games, there's no such option. I've tried changing the Wii U's resolution (didn't work) and my TV only has a few options for changing its aspect ratio, none of which zoom out far enough to display the entire image (here's the manual).

I'm not overstating this: it makes games unplayable. I just launched the Monster Hunter demo and the entire health bar - which should be at the top left of the screen - is missing. I can only see the stamina bar.

Is there a way for me to fix this? I have this dreadful feeling that the only two solutions are 'wait for Nintendo to do an update!' or 'buy a new TV'. And if that's the case, obviously the Wii U is going straight back to the shop. What the hell.

Unfortunately neither of these things work. It doesn't matter which resolution I set the Wii U at - 720p, 1080i, 1080p - the overscan problem remains. And I don't think my TV has any kind of Just Scan feature. I bought it in 2007 - it's not some flashy new state of the art device. It's done the job perfectly until now though.

My TV is a Hannspree JT01-32E2-000 32'' if anyone somehow knows any secret remote code that lets me access secret advanced engineer settings. :(

I have the same problem with a 5ish yr old Matsui. Could be a problem just with older tvs? Hasnt affected any games yet but have yet to try the monster hunter demo. Someone mentioned a HDMI mode fix or something, earlier in the thread but I dont have that option in any menu.

There are so many threads like this one all over the internet, I'm surprised a bigger deal hasn't been made about it on rllmuk. I wonder how many people with Wii Us have particularly new TVs, though. Is it really just a small percentage of us having this issue, or are a lot of people just not noticing it, or maybe just accepting it and making do?

If the HDTV thread in ATF is anything to go by, we all have Panasonic plasmas.

I predict rebuying before the end of the year

Quite possibly. I like the system and was looking forward to Lego, the reasons for the sale are personal rather than a problem with the system.

Reckon that Lego game can be entirely played on the Gamepad? TV time is difficult.

I'm pretty sure the gamepad is necessary for central functions so there is no gamepad only play.

Can't help be amused at the hype of a Lego game, of all things, but hey. Last one I played was star wars, pretty fun but eh, really? Full price day one release worth excitement? Eh..

Have Square said why Tomb Raider isn't on Wii U?
