![]() It takes a little bit of getting used to, but once mastered, this mechanic combined with drifts practically makes sure players will never have to bother with obsolete concepts such as braking or no longer pressing the accelerator. Aside from the Mario Kart-esque drifting, which makes these sharper turns more manageable and rewards players with extra speed boosts, there’s even a quick turning that allows the vehicle to take almost 90 degrees sharp turns even at high speed. ![]() ![]() With the starter car made of LEGO, the cornering felt a bit stiff and understeering at first, but that turns out to be entirely by design: standard turning is actually meant to be used for less extreme manouvers. And to be frank, at first, I wasn’t particularly impressed with LEGO 2K Drive there. One of the decisive moments in judging a racing game is when you first approach a corner, and have to test out the game’s driving model. Call it LEGO Island 3, call it a full-blown Forza Horizon LEGO, call it whatever you like. The colourful and blocky visuals, the intentionnaly choppy stop motion animations of the LEGO figurines, a fast yet accessible pure arcade racing model and a lovely open world full of everything LEGO: houses, trees, civilians, turbo ramps and more. And despite the lack of experience with LEGO, open worlds or racers, as soon as I jumped behind the wheel of a blocky vehicle, I felt that they were *exactly* the right developer for this job.

Ready… set… (LE)GO!Ĭalifornia-based Visual Concepts Entertainment may be familiar to some of you as the team behind 2K’s NBA and WWE games of the last decade and beyond, with their last non-sports game dating back over 20 years. It’s been compared to many things: classic LEGO games like LEGO Island, LEGO Racer, but also Forza Horizon, The Crew 2, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed and more with its open world, transforming vehicles and so on. It only feels yesterday LEGO 2K Drive was first shown, as its brief marketing timeframe is already turning into the release window.
