A series of missions will lead players into combat with arch villain Rex Fury, whose gangland empire is responsible for the city's crime wave. The setup here is pretty straightforward: Grand Theft Lego.

That man is Chase McCain and for many enjoyably daft hours you will be in his plastic moulded shoes. The only man who can restore peace and justice is a maverick cop who left town two years ago under a blocky cloud of disgrace. It's everywhere and no one is safe, and a lot of it is being perpetrated by people in clown suits.
