Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Chase McCain's adventure is akin to GTA for kids, as the knowingly clichéd action cop takes to the open world streets as he looks to throw his arch nemesis Rex Fury back behind bars.

Anyone familiar with previous Lego games will be instantly at home with the gameplay – indeed, despite the more open feel Undercover rarely feels any different – though at least any number of film references, from The Matrix to Titanic, inject some humour into proceedings. The Wii U’s Gamepad is used to good effect too, as Chase scans buildings and follows clues. A competent, if predictable, effort then and one that fans of the Lego series will enjoy exploring.
