    Lego 2K Drive is one of the finest arcade racers around, setting itself apart from the competition by literally building a new foundation for the genre. Like the very best LEGO sets, each of its pieces adds up to a wonderful product. Racing fans owe it to themselves to check this one out.

    A lot of things to do, in LEGO style.

Technically it's okay, but it's boring, not interesting, the gameplay is just "nah, can be", and it has nothing to do with arcade racing or driving. It's just some awkward being that doesn't know what it wants to be. I love racing games and this one is just boring. It's a pity that you can't get a refund on the eShop, this one's worth it.

    The physics is the same for all cars, it causes no desire to collect more cars. There is no upgrades etc. The physics is too easy, like a game for kids, nothing even near to Forza or other good arcade racing titles. If it was at least like in the Hot Wheels on the Switch, I'd like it more. (Here you just hold throttle and win every race with ease, unless some awful rubberbanding happens, because you hit the wall 3 seconds before the finish).

    It's a racing games without racing. There's more awkward and repetitive missions that aren't engaging whatsoever.

    I play every arcade title, I love them all. All The Crews, NFSs, Forzas, Test Drives, Hot Wheels, you get the drill. This one is not even close. I expected something like Forza Horizon Lego Expansion X Lego City, but I got a bowl of poop instead. You can eat it after all, but it's not fun.    … Full Review »

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Game is sorta fun, but on the switch version, bugs absolutely destroy this game. You can’t buy anything in Unkie’s Emporium, and online access is completely nonexistent. It always says something like “Something went wrong!” Each time you try to play. The story mode is great, though. But, most of the time when you want to make a new vechile, it becomes sorta awkward as you navigate through each menu. And, since you can’t get all the parts since some of them are in Unkie’s, you can’t build the kart you want most of the time. Cool and fun arcade racer, but whatever you do, don’t get it on switch. It’s just broken.… Full Review »

PS3/xbox360 was my favorite generation of videogames. And Nintendo understands that by selling basically a walking PS3. When I see 2k I automatically think of micro transactions. So I read the title of this game as Lego microtransactions drive. Which is very appropriate. It's a vehicular combat kart racer that transformers it's vehicles based on the surface you are driving on. Exactly like sonic and Sega All-stars racing transformed from the PS3 and last year's Nickelodeon kart racers 3 slime speedway which could run on a PS3. Graphically it's on par with the above mentioned games and that's average to good. It looks like a PS3 title and you can take that anyway you want to. It may look better on other systems. But it is colorful, vibrant, and kinda nice as a Legos title, so it's appropriate. It has hd rumble and that's always a plus for me. I like the racing, even the rubber banding which keeps things competitive, I like the open world which I wished the other 2 games I mentioned were. I like the music. And they are always cracking jokes which I find funny. I like the customizing and building a vehicle from Legos, it's quite extensive. But it's finicky. I like the transforming. I don't like the microtransactions but I did buy the game knowing exactly what I was getting into. I don't like how I'm sure they had the whole game complete then decided to chop it up as added seasonal dlc like Mario kart did and charge 40$. They could have rewarded you by adding the microtransactions as content instead you are rewarding them with more of your money for having paid full price for the game. I don't like some of the long to me loading times. If I seem to be a little underwhelmed by this game it is because I've seen it done before in the games I mentioned above, and this is more of the same. I'm overall happy but I feel like they could have raised the bar a bit more than just an open world. They are definitely trying to get paid like they raised the bar… Full Review »
