A Legofied open-world racer of bright humour and drift-heavy handling, scuffed by baggage and busywork - our Lego 2K Drive review:
What are those parts, exactly? For 2K Drive, developer Visual Concepts has looked to the likes of Forza Horizon, Mario Kart, and Crash Team Racing. This is a wise decision, kitbashing with the choicest of kits, but it invites harsh contrast. The weapons that you collect during races, for example, lack the wit of those in Mario Kart. Take the spiderweb, which fastens onto foes and causes them to come unstuck.
At any rate, who really needs a plot when you have a procession of Legoid biomes to burn through? We begin in Turbo Acres, a clean green raceway where Clutch inducts you into the rhythms of the action. These include quests, which have you locating lost items, shearing weeds in a power mower, or crunching through waves of aliens, skeletons, and what have you. Police chases, where you hound suspects with missiles until they burst and flake down to a bare chassis.
The point of all these diversions is the upward tick of XP, which turns into a slog later on, as you're gated off and forced to grind it out. It feels as though Visual Concepts had run out of road and defaulted to busywork. The handling is heavy and slurred with drifts, in a way that recalls Hotshot Racing; but that game was stripped-down and tuned to a tight format - no open world, just a string of modes. You never had the space for any tedium to seep in.
