Each disguise is earned from playing through the story normally, generally in the game's missions, and each has its own uses. LEGO City Undercover takes the concept of different powers and abilities but splits them between the various disguises that Chase can wear. In most LEGO games, you get an assortment of characters to switch between, each with different powers and abilities used to solve puzzles and platforming challenges.

It's quite weird how he slips movie names from that actor's career into his spoken dialogue. From a character named Blue who can "get" things for our hero when he ventures inside Albatross Island as an ode to Shawshank Redemption (complete with "not knowing what that Italian lady was singing about that day" and without the more adult scenarios) to a construction yard foreman who looks and sounds suspiciously similar to a former governator of California. In fact, many of the references in particular to various movies would be lost on kids. The characters have sharp dialogue, provide funny slapstick humor and sight gags, and would be enjoyed by folks beyond the usual LEGO game audience. While there are several elements of LEGO City Undercover that are lessened from the Wii U version when compared to these ports, the first thing that doesn't get a hint of degradation quality-wise is the hilarious writing. Ordinary cop? You're much too modest, Chase! Compared to Frank Honey, you're Robocop! Not just to make up for the mistake that saw him shipped out of LEGO City in the first place, but to make it up for a special someone. The story shows Chase entering the underbelly and underworld of crime of LEGO City by going undercover.
Rejoining the LEGO City Police Department and having a big fan in the hilarious (no, really- no sarcasm there!) Frank Honey, Chase McCain is back on the case, but with a great deal to prove.
However, crime is in season, and Rex Fury has escaped from Albatross Island. LEGO City Undercover sees hero Chase McCain get less than a hero's welcome when he returns to LEGO City. Despite all of its problems from its transition between a Wii U exclusive and a multi-platform game, LEGO City Undercover retains a lot of what I enjoyed from back in 2013. Now it's 2017 and finally the game gets a chance for even more exposure with a port on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and the most recent of hardware releases, the Nintendo Switch (though it lacks the Nintendo references of the Wii U version). Playing through the funny story, witnessing the sharp writing, and discovering secrets in LEGO City itself made it my personal favorite LEGO game.
LEGO City Undercover originally released in 2013 for the Wii U.
