It would be wrong to consider The Chase Begins a prequel to the Wii U exclusive Lego City Undercover. While the game's story is set two years prior to cool cop Chase McCain's return to Lego City, and follows his first encounter with the villainous Rex Fury, in gameplay terms it's more of a remix.Rather than simply port the game across, developer TT Fusion has taken the same core concept - a free-roaming Lego metropolis where McCain can use different disguises to unlock new abilities as he tracks down a criminal syndicate - and shuffled it around to create a game that offers a fresh take on familiar material.
