    Dads beware! This not so bad game has only one purpose. Make money with your kids. It's very grind-heavy, the in-game shop has multiple currencies to make everything absolutely diffuse for the kids.

    The game itself is good, but much too short. Just enough to motivate you to buy something. Terrible business methods.

    This abomination needs to be shutdown. The precedent that 2K/Lego are trying to present here is appalling. A **LEGO** racing game that at first glance you would think would be amazing for children and families alike. Perhaps an awesome alternative to Mario Kart that isn’t restricted to Nintendo.

    But then you see it’s overpriced price tag, and think wow this must be an awesome premium    This abomination needs to be shutdown.

    But then you see it’s overpriced price tag, and think wow this must be an awesome premium game right? Lol nope, this is not only overpriced, BUT also incorporates microtransactions AND a battle pass system.

    “B-but it’s just cosmetics” the defenders will say, but limiting the creativity of customisation in a game rated for children is horrendously stupid if not borderline illegal. Don’t waste your time with this game if 2K/Lego don’t value you and your wallet.

    It’s a shame as the gameplay definitely has some substance but feels more like an early access, than an actual complete game. Perhaps due to the decision to make this into what appears to be a live service game.    … Expand

    Bricktastic! Just beware of the awful, poorly thought out, horde of micro-transaction content.

    The game-play is brilliant, the maps are brilliant, the mini games are a decent laugh, the car creator is great. THE MICRO TRANSACTIONS ARE TRASH.... especially for the high price tag. DLC packs containing licensed content are the way this game should have gone (If it had to have some form of    Bricktastic!

DLC packs containing licensed content are the way this game should have gone (If it had to have some form of monetization). Certainly not £5 for a mediocre in house creation, £2.50 for brick packs and mini figures, that should be free... The battle pass is another price gouge, whilst ridiculous i can accept this providing it has some worth (licensed cars, maps etc.)

    Other reviews make out you must grind for 100+ hours to get a car. This isn't quite true (Its not quite Gran Turismo 7, RIP), id say its about 4-6 hours for the average decent vehicle.

    Overall the game is good, i'd highly recommend, but £59.99 leaves a sour taste in your mouth. If you can get it for around the £30 mark, id say its a great buy. At the end of the day it offers just as much as something like MK, Crash TR or Sonic All Stars, if not more in some senses, It just has a whole world of BS (Micro-transactions) sprinkled on top. That doesn't mean you should ignore the great game that lies beneath. With 24 tracks (excluding some i haven't unlocked), 6 mini games, a car creator, a campaign, an open world and a whole host of other shenanigans, its actually a healthy offering. Handles great too, has great split screen and a bustling online multiplayer. Pretty much 0 bugs at launch too (other than the offline save issue), when does that ever happen with a AAA?

    So make of it what you will, some people will enjoy it, others will hate it but i would advise against writing it off without giving it a go first.    … Expand

    While Lego 2K Drive is a very good game, I just don't live the Season Pass because it can likely ruin the potential the game has. But it has very solid gameplay and could be better if not for the season pass. But overall, it is a very fun racing game.

    One of The best game releases in this year. Every other game had horrible performance issues and this is so far the best game you can play in 2023. Story is really funny with typical Lego game humor. Biggest point for me is that this game has only 10 GB. It’s smallest AAA game I’ve seen in a while. Absolutely recommend this for PS5 as a gift for a children or fans of racing games. So far IOne of The best game releases in this year.

    Ultimately LEGO 2K Drive is an arcade kart racing game with a solid core, but it trips itself up with design choices that try to increase the so-called engagement time, in the hope that the player will always nab something from the emporium. It's not bad, but it's certainly not as fun as the games it draws inspiration from.

    LEGO 2K Drive is a really fun expierence for younger, but also older LEGO fans. The games has many incredible things to offer. For example, there are many really enjoyable challenges to find in the open world, and it's incredibly cool to build your own racecar with LEGO bricks. The story is a bit unoriginal and the game has microtransactions, what we could expect from a game made by 2K. Nevertheless, everyone who enjoys LEGO or arcade-racers, should give this game a shot!

    Lego 2K Drive provides an entertaining setting that will have older players reminiscing about playing with Lego in their backyards, whilst giving younger gamers a chance to experience the same thing in a virtual world. The almost fully destructible Lego environments allow players to drive unimpeded for the most part, cruising around Bricklandia at their own leisure, completing whichever quest they want. The ability to customise your rides in the garage adds to the fun aspect with gamers able to create their own outlandish vehicles. And with the ability to play in split screen co-op, Lego 2K Drive is the perfect opportunity for families to sit on the couch together smashing through Lego towns on their way to winning the Sky Trophy.
