Gameplay
The gameplay in LEGO Rush Hour: The Videogame is similar to previous LEGO Videogames instalments. The player has a principal location, which is accesible after completing the first level of the story of the game.
The player can switch between two characters at every instance during the game, and in the stories must switch sometimes between more than two characters to solve puzzles and problems of the levels. Studs always is collected in each level. Players can collect studs, but it can also be taken away, if at any moment of the level the player dies. In some levels, there are enemies in the levels (who have six hearts) that must be defeated. After completing defeating those characters, it will be available to purchase. Instead of minikit canisters, there are plates (a reference to the wanted object in Rush Hour 2). Ten plates are hidden throughout each levels that combine a monument, depending of the stories of the trilogy (Rush Hour: China; Rush Hour 2: United States/Las Vegas; Rush Hour 3: France). Also is collected Red Bricks, which unlocks extras. Gold Bricks are collected at the end of the level, by completing the Stud Bar, collecting the plates and Red Bricks.
Free Play and Bonus
After completing the first level of the story of the game in Story Mode, the player will be able to play the level in Free Play Mode - the player can replay the level with the characters you would like to choose. This gives the player the advantage of collecting the plates, Red Bricks and Studs. After the player has chosen the character he/she wanted, other characters are selected randomly, depending on their abilities and/or capacities.
After completing the story of the game, you'll be able to play the Bonus, which you have three options to play: Story Bonus, Plate Bonus and Character Bonus. The Story Bonus consists of collecting a million studs in less than an hour, while completing the levels of each story. In the Plate and Character Bonus, the player must collect a million studs in less than five minutes (except for Character Bonus - the player can choose a vehicle and it's given seven minutes to collect the studs). No extras are allowed to use in the Story Bonus.
Los Angeles Police Department
The L.A.P.D. is the central location of the game. After completing the first level of the story of the game, the player will have access to the location. In front of the player, there are three doors, which are accesible to play. At his/her right, there is an elevator, which guides the player to a room with monuments. Those monuments can be completed after collecting ten plates in each level.
The player can also go out of the L.A.P.D. and drive Carter's car (a 1972 Chevrolet Corvette), so the player can choose which place to go.
