LEGO RACERS 2 is but another racing game in the style of MARIO KART, though they have managed to throw in a couple of nice twists. For instance, your car loses Lego pieces when you bump things too hard...and when you run out of pieces, you have to huff it on foot. It's funny to zoom past your opponents as their little Lego guys run for the finish line.

Another neat aspect is the ability to build your own Lego character and Lego car. Unfortunately, building Lego stuff on screen isn't nearly as fun as doing it in real life. The process is slow, and I found myself just grabbing pre-made cars instead.

There's an EXPLORE mode which allows you to drive around the landscapes, talk to other characters, and find bonus games.

On the downside, the background music is painful to listen to and the loading times are excessive. Plus there's too much word-balloon talking. You can bypass the word-balloons or you can read them at their slow pace...there's no ability that I could find for quickly reading text. The non-nationalist gibberish spouted by the Lego characters is also a bit annoying to listen to, as you sit there, waiting for the word balloons...

Two player mode seemed to be one-on-one only (unless I missed something). It would have been nice to race against another human and the computer at the same time.

It's a cute game with limited playability for an older audience. I'm sure if I were 8 years old, I would think this was a really great game all-around.

Comment by 10 year old son: This is a great game. The best lego game I've played yet. You have to try this!

My son is 7. He loves the Lego video game series. I saw this and thought it would be fun. He played this two times and hasn't picked it up since.

Good gameplay. Lego has made all types of games and racing is one of the areas. Lego has made many lego racers or cars for the past couple of years. So it was logical to make a game. Creating characters and cars is appropriate because it is lego. They made a story and they allowed the character to explore the lego world. The three out of five lego worlds are based off regular sets. Sandy Bay would be Lego City, Dino Island would be for Johnny Thunder, whom appears in the game, Mars is a big one for Lego sets. The latest sets are Mars Mission.

Driving may be tricky at first, but the key is to know that the analog stick is sensitive, so don't pull hard turns, or you will pull the brakes and you will end up backwards. They also even added avanced moves for powerups.

Exploring is a good factor for improving your vehicle by completing the challenges and helps you get more golden bricks.

I reccomend the game for the younger audience and hardcore lego fans.

My daughter really loves this. Sorry that it took so long to review this my computer has been down for awhile

my son, who is five, loves this game. He likes driving around the different worlds. The only part I have to help him with is some reading of words when the Lego characters communicate. Overall a pretty easy game to play for younger children.

... If you want to make your kid cry this is a good way:

1. Confusing and counterintuitive interface
2. Difficult steering of the car
3. Cheating opponents enhance educational value
4. Impossible to win races
5. Your characters steals some car parts to make the game even more educational

Ironically enough the developer company is called "Attention to Detail" Attention to what ???????????

Almost every night, I sit here and wonder why we have so many video games in the world. What makes this game even worse is the fact that it really wants to be a Mario Kart game. We already have Mario Kart, so this game is pointless.

This game continues to get worse the more I play it. Good luck trying to control your vehicle. I was never able to do that. I kept crashing and wouldn't be able to win any of the races. I really want you to avoid this game.

All I ahve to say is NIE JOB LEGO!!
Someone has finally made a game worth playing, in my expert opinion, a must-buy!!!
...

This is not a childish game! PEOPLE ! This is another great racing game !! nothing much to say ... BUY It
