There's a ton to do after beating the campaign, even if you don't care about online races. Those quibbles aside, the game is plenty enjoyable. You have to go back to the open world before you can try a race again. Winning races is essential to progress through the story, and it's annoying that there's no quick restart option when you aren't victorious. In one race, I was about to take the checkered flag when an enemy launched a spider web to obscure my vision and slow me down. On the surface, the powerups seem to add another dimension to races, though any enemy car I destroyed was quickly back in the thick of the action. There are some Mario Kart-style powerups you can grab during races and in the open world. So, it's a shame that the actual races can get pretty frustrating.īy subscribing, you are agreeing to Engadget's Terms and Privacy Policy. Zooming through the open areas can be a blast and losing bricks from your vehicle when you take damage is a neat touch (smashing breakable objects will restore your health and increase your boost meter).
It's a fun blend of Forza Horizon 5 and Mario Kart. The studio hasn't hit the same heights of humor and wit as TT's Lego games (to be fair, Visual Concepts doesn't have nine movies worth of iconic Star Wars movies to riff on), but 2K Drive is still packed with surprises and clever ideas.
This arcade racer is the first Lego game from Visual Concepts, a developer that has otherwise focused on NBA and WWE games over the last few years. Those satisfying transformations are something you'll see a ton of as you explore multiple open areas and compete in races that play out across ever-changing terrain. Just before hitting some water, the vehicle's Lego bricks swiftly contorted themselves into a speedboat.
The second I left the road, my sports coupe converted into an off-road buggy. It took just a few minutes for Lego 2K Drive to sink its hooks into me.
