Product Description

From Children's Software Revue® -- "Subscribe Now!"

Kids loved this fast-paced, highly responsive racing program. After creating a car and driver in the LEGO garage or selecting an existing design, children race against up to five challengers around one of 12 tracks. These tracks are based on four popular Lego themes: pirates, castle, space and adventurers. Each track has special attributes such as turbo boosts, oil slicks and grappling hooks. Winning a race earns special car parts that can enhance a car's performance. Aside from tricky controls in the car building section, children were thrilled with the racing moves they could make on the colorful, entertaining tracks. We couldn't find any violent or otherwise worrisome content and felt that children as young as age five could easily play the game. This is the first LEGO title to be available on the PlayStation and Nintendo 64 as well as Windows.
Teaches: strategy, logic, game play

5.0 out of 5 stars Racer Maniacs, December 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: LEGO Racers (CD-ROM)

I gave this game to my two boys, ages 7 and 8, for Christmas. It's been a big hit from the day it was opened. My older son said it's the most 'awesome' game and the other guy is smitten with building a better racing machine to beat all the other racers (especially rocket racer). To add to the fun you can shoot your opponents with cannon balls and get a boost of speed by racing through various colored lego bricks. I highly recommend it.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: LEGO Racers (CD-ROM)

I got this game for my birthday and i love it.the first two levels are sort of easy but after it gets really hard.there are lots of weapons like missles and barrels of gunpowder.the only things that I don't like about it is that there is only 13 tracks and the characters are really corny but that's how it is in all lego games.by the way i am a huge lego fan.

This review is from: LEGO Racers (CD-ROM)

Even though I'm a girl, I just love picking up racing games and adventure games for my computer or my PS2 and playing them. My brother got this "LEGO racing" game as a gift: and right away I started playing it. I was quite impressed with LEGO racing, though; I was expecting something more for 6-year olds that wasn't very challenging and only had something like 2 levels.

In this game, your goal is to become one of the greatest racers ever and try to beat the ultimate racer, Rocket Racer. You design a racer, or use a pre-made one. You start on Captain Redbeard, a very easy racer to beat, and work your way up to all 7 racers, all the way up to Rocket Racer, the hardest racer to beat. If you complete a "circuit race," then you will receive points, and move to the next racer. Single races are if you want to do a single race.

The most fun part of the game (in my opinion) is also power-ups + weapons. They help you get ahead of people or keep other people behind you. They are little floating Lego's in the air along the track and you pick them up to get a power-up or a weapon. There are four different colours of legos: each represents a weapon. To upgrade it, you need to pick up a white lego. You can only upgrade it 3 times (including when you receive it): the more you upgrade it, the more powerful the weapon is. There's four power-ups/weapons in this game:

Red Lego (things you have to aim at people): 1st: A regular bomb to throw at people 2nd: Clip thing that you hook onto a car and it brings you ahead. 3rd: A rocket-missile thing that tracks people down and hits them.
Yellow Lego (gas and tornado things to slow people down): 1st: gas that slows people down and swirls them around. 2nd: This little sucker that holds people back for a little while. 3rd: A mummy floaty thing that floats in the air and when people run into it then you'll get dizzy and stay there for a while.
Green Lego (power-ups to speed you ahead): 1st: A very little speed-booster that only lasts for 5 seconds. 2nd: A speed-booster that brings you about ¼ of the track ahead if you use it wisely. 3rd: A VERY good speed-booster that swirls around you and brings you ¼ of the track ahead.
Blue Lego (shields): 1st: It blocks you for a very short amount of time from other people. 2nd: A good shield that blocks you for a good amount of time and whenever someone shoots you with it turned on, it bounces of you and shoots back to them. Works GREAT on bombs. 3rd: Very much like the second upgraded shield except it lasts about 5-10 seconds longer.

Hope this was helpful. :) So click "yes" if this review is helpful to you!
