LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins is set in an open world (Lego City).
Chase can use all kinds of cars he sees on the streets.
He also has access to police equipment and gets more as he progresses.
He is also a master of disguise as he can use costumes, which need to be found first, to get new abilities (as a thief, he can use a crowbar to open doors that are normally locked, for instance).
He also knows martial arts techniques that come in handy when facing bad guys.
McCain is also able to use parcour skills, allowing him to climb up a building on the facade, amongst other acrobatic stunts.
About Nintendo 3DS
The Nintendo 3DS (2011) added glasses-free stereoscopic 3D and a second analog input to Nintendo's handheld line, eventually building a library that rivaled the DS in size and quality. Because the eShop for digital purchases has since closed, physical 3DS cartridges are the only way to preserve access to many titles — a dynamic that's pushing more collectors toward cartridge-based copies even for games that were originally digital-first.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins 3DS, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo 3DS titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
