I was having a blast with Lego 2K Drive until I stumbled into its online store.
Lego 2K Drive MSRP $70.00 Score Details “Lego 2K Drive's chaotic racing and inventive story mode are let down by irresponsible microtransactions.” Pros Cons Lego 2K Drive accomplishes something that I was beginning to think wasn’t possible: It pushes the kart racer genre forward in a post-Mario Kart 8 world.
Brick-breaking speed When it comes to the fundamentals of a good kart racer, Lego 2K Drive fires on all cylinders. It’s a fast-paced racing game that combines Mario Kart’s tried and true driving mechanics with some of its own. There are items like homing rockets that’ll blow other drivers’ Lego cars to smithereens, and an emphasis on drifting that gives players a lot of control over their turns.
It may not be the deepest racing game, but that works in its favor. Just as the toys themselves transcend age, I can see both adults and kids getting a kick out of the cheery, bombastic racer. It doesn’t require too much skill, instead focusing on how well players can navigate around chaos … or use it to their advantage.
The Forza formula winds up being a perfect match for a sub-genre that’s gotten a bit stale over the years. The world of Bricklandia is filled with things to do between races, from a wealth of collectibles to hunt down to short challenges that can be seamlessly triggered without jumping into a loading screen. When I drive through a gate in a canyon, I suddenly find myself trying to complete laps around a short, dusty trail littered with mines.
There are parts of the system I don’t mind. Cosmetic decals and racers that have no impact on the game don’t bother me much. I don’t even mind the fact that you can spend money on individual Lego pieces that can be used in the game’s excellent kart customization tool. It’s an annoying charge, but the base game gives you plenty of pieces to toy around with and make some goofy vehicles.
