That is exactly what you do. Zoom in the screen so that the top of the Gamepad shows the name of the region you are in (say Cherry Hills or Bluebell National Park) then hit the ! right under the name and the screen will show what activities you have or have not done to earn a Gold Brick (time trial, free run, find a pig etc.).
It will not show you WHERE these activities are, unfortunately, but it gives you an idea what to look for.
It will also show you how many vehicles and costumes you can earn in each district (though there is no way to keep track of how to earn each costume, which is frustrating when you have one left in a region).
Yes, this helps a bunch. As for knowing where the activities, costumes, etc are, various red bricks will unlock those abilities so that you can use your gamepad scanner (button on the top left of the gamepad screen) and then scan around for clues. It will only show things that are a relative distance away so you will have to move to various areas in a district and keep scanning until you find things to do.

You people eat too many sandwiches, I just read GAF during load times.

Damn, nicely done. I am at around 80% and still absolutely loving it. I can imagine that last 5% or so can be tough.

Finished this yesterday, and the last chapter is fricking amazing. Music, writing and a hilariously epic final setpiece turn it up to 11. Finished at 42.4%, so there's clearly still a lot to do.

Sandwich-GAF is best GAF.
This game really surprised me with how great it is, and the last level was awesome. I have a lot of collecting to do still and I'm sitting at like 30 hours.
This is the first Lego game I've bought. I've tried demos of some of the licensed games and I was tempted to get them, but they always felt just a little shallow, but I feel like this game had so much more freedom to be original and creative with the story and locations. Now I'm eagerly awaiting the 3DS prequel and considering going back for some of the licensed Lego games since they can be gotten so cheap now.

Question about the top left computer in the police station:
Are the gold bricks bought there required to get all gold bricks, or are they meant as substitutes for ones you have trouble earning yourself, or what?

It's kind of sad how well this game has worked on me in terms of marketing
I was walking past the Lego store in Liverpool yesterday and I couldn't resist picking this bad boy up:
You get a couple of codes for use in-game with it, the set is around 19.99 in the lego shop or 14.99 off Amazon

Nice purchase!! What does the codes do?
Is the code different from what was already posted in this thread?
Definitely digging this game. I reckon I'm about 2/3rds of the way through the story. Really looking forward to going back in Free Play mode. The only thing I don't really dig is the vehicle handling and the fact that all the cars are painfully slow.
Those load times though. Jeeeeesus.

It doesn't unlock anything different, as I understand it (though the code itself may vary.) I have the set on order myself, though, because the kids and I are gonna have fun with it.

I really, REALLY want more LEGO City Undercover sets. I need Frank Honey and Rex Fury minifigures.

Beat it last night had 29.5% complete. That last chapter was phenomenal. Game was amazingly good and the humor was kept at the same level throughout, that's a huge plus. I sooo want a sequel to happen.
Seeing those commercials for the 3DS prequel show they keep that same humor level in the cutscenes, so now I must pick that up as well.
Had a funny glitch happen in the next to last chapter of the game. Doesn't really spoil anything, but I'll still link it instead:

Two Franks! Who wouldn't want two Franks! I seriously thought when I got out of the cutscene preceding this that I missed a storyline explaining these twin Franks

If you are still on the fence about this game, buy it now. The humor, all the shit to do/break/collect, the epic finale, and the good ole fashion fun... I feel like a kid again playing Lego City Undercover. This is coming from a guy that disliked every other Lego game he played for this. Just something about this game clicks so well, I need a sequel now and I can't wait to dive into the 3DS prequel!
I'm guessing they will wait a bit how this one is selling in regards to the WiiU's installed base. If it is moderately successfull und TT wants to do another one, I can see it happening.

Now I want Natalia, Ellie and Frank mini figures... DO IT LEGO!!!
I can only hope! I wasn't planning on getting the 3DS game at all after seeing that trailer, but after liking this one so much it's a sure buy!

So, in the High Speed Chase set, Chase's truck comes with dash-mounted coffee. :lol
I had a related experience. I forget which character it was, but there were two of him occupying the exact same space during a cutscene, animating slightly differently and clipping through each other. Kinda creepy!

Do we have an idea on when the sales figures will be available? It's sad that a game that will take me most of the year, and I'm already hoping and waiting for a sequel...
Agree with this. This game is excellent. I play a little bit each day with my two daughters watching (generally doing one mission and then goofing around in the city trying to unlock stuff), and the fun never stops.

Just got this game in from GameFly. From what I've played so far, it's been non-stop laughs and pure fun. This is the kind of game that sets the Wii U apart from the other consoles. I'm definitely going to buy the game.
Since it's esentially a Nintendo game, we might get numbers from their quarterly reports someday. I really hope it does well.

Anyone know some of the songs in the soundtrack for this game? I'd be very grateful!

It's also the top selling digital download right now, so that should add to the sales a bit I assume.

I noticed my local Walmart and Target were out of stock last week. Not sure how many they had initially. Certainly seems to either be selling well OR under-stocked OR both.

Sort of off-topic but is the Lego Marvel Heroes game coming to the Wii U too?

Awwww yeaaaaaaaa
I'm not sure but I think most of the soundtrack is original music or parody soundalikes, with the exception of
Walking on Sunshine,
I've been trying to look for some of the tracks online but the only one I can find is from the ending of the game.

LEGO City Undercover has one of the greatest ending sequences ever. Who knew!
My god. This game is a time sink.
Already spent around 16 hours in the game and am now at 18% with mission 6 just finished. There is just so much to do in this game.
Perhaps I should focus more on the main missions or at least until I have all the outfits since climbing a big ass bridge and finding a lock icon feels bad.

Yup. I 'finished' it last night and I was gobsmacked. Awesome stuff.
Now the real fun begins. Free play!

The writing in this game is awesome. I love the whole construction thing.
Not only that but they keep referencing themselves.
All of the Arnie references was great. Too bad there wasn't a Kindergarten Cop reference.
