A girl steps off an ocean liner and is asked, 'What brings you to Lego City?' She replies: 'Uh, this boat?' Meanwhile, McCain – having just rescued a damsel in distress – lands a chopper on a rooftop and proudly proclaims, 'I guess now we know that I can fly a helicopter.' When it then takes off by itself and crashes into a nearby building, he sheepishly adds, 'And I guess now I know that you have to turn it off after landing.' It's just one example of the type of zinger-driven humour that Lego City Undercover brims with. On hearing it, I'm ashamed to admit I did a spit-take all over my coffee table. It's the sort of one-liner that might go over poorly at a comedy club or on a TV show, but in the absurdist world of Lego games – where little yellow men build spaceships out of virtual plastic bricks and shoot pigs out of cannons – it's hilarious. 'A jukebox in a jail cell? I guess that means it's full of… criminal records.'

McCain is taken off guard, but the ever-smirking lawman always has a quip at hand. There are comfy couches, a hot tub and even a juke box. It seems Fury had something over on the warden, if all the amenities are any indication. The con has escaped from prison and McCain, a tough-as-plastic cop, is investigating his old digs, which are mysterious in their luxuriousness. Everything you need to know about Lego City Undercover can be found in one line of dialogue, delivered by its hero, Chase McCain, while rooting around inside the jail cell of Rex Fury, his arch-nemesis.
