    It’s really a shame that such a lovely and fun open-world sandbox is tied to stuff like a season pass, premium currencies, and expensive in-game purchases. Perhaps 2K will tweak some levers to make it easier to earn and unlock new cars—which would be nice—but until then the specter of greed will always be there, nagging at me as I build, smash, and race.

    Beautiful, lively and intense, Lego 2K Drive is as pleasant to watch as it is to handle. Based on classic karting game mechanics (turbo drifts, objects to throw, etc.), it does not forget to add its own touch by offering some well thought out subtleties. First of all, the story mode (the adventure’s core) has nothing to be shy of in terms of activities compared to Forza Horizon games and it can be played by two people simultaneously. However, it must be noted that the monetisation aspect is rather invasive with its integrated purchases and a season pass. We can only hope that this optional paid content will be used to finance additions to the title and that the support will be long-lasting, because the basic material is excellent.

    Lego 2K Drive is a fun Arcade Racer with an excellent in-game Lego building experience.

    But after beating the short story, your supposed to spend your in-game currency in Unkie's microtransaction shop. Your invested ten hours are worth one or two cars.... But you could also get new parts or minifigs... Obviously, 2K wants you to spend your real world money, to buy all this stuff. Wait a minute, didn't I pay full price for the game allready?
    Isn't the game made for kids? And might this be the reason, why we can not share our own awesome Lego creations with other players?

    A very fun and addicting game, but unfortunately it has one VERY bad bug, all of you brickbux will vanish. when I first started the game, IA very fun and addicting game, but unfortunately it has one VERY bad bug, all of you brickbux will vanish. when I first started the game, I was given 20k brickbux and was told that the vanishing brickbux glitch was patched, it's not, the devs now owe me 27k brickbux. (Apart from that, five stars!) Full Review »
