LEGO 2K Drive Reviews
LEGO 2K Drive is a racing game suitable for younger players and fans of the famous Danish bricks. Still, it is not highly recommended for those seeking a more severe and refined driving experience. However, Visual Concepts has created a motorized adventure full of activities and mini-games, supported by many contents that aesthetically follow the cheerful philosophy of the colorful LEGO universe. Although it is a fun racing game, especially if played with other players, the poor management of the game economy and other more or less essential defects end up limiting its potential.

LEGO 2K Drive has some impressive features, and while the competitive elements could do with a little work, there's still fun to be had.
Lego 2K Drive is a nicely-polished ride, offering up unexpectedly-intense kart-racing action and a handful of diverting sandbox stages to explore. Unfortunately, the game is also a bit light on content and its aggressive microtransactions may make parents looking for something light to play with their kids pump the brakes. Lego 2K Drive is still worth considering, particularly once it goes on sale, but it feels like it’s a few bricks short of what it could have been.
Impossible to lie: we had fun and not a little playing LEGO 2K Drive. It is an interesting experiment, with a lot of potential, but also with some limitations.

LEGO 2K Drive is a fun LEGO racing/exploration game that is easy to recommend for all ages.
LEGO 2K Drive is a good racing/open world, where imagination is the only limit. Too bad for a certain underlying monotony.

LEGO 2K Drive is a fun romp if you know what you're getting into. The racing is fast and exciting, and the catch-up code seems tuned just right. The open worlds provide a ton to do, and the freeform exploration and destruction makes driving around feel enjoyable. The amount of grind needed to make some real progression can drag down things in the intervals, when there are no story-based missions. Some of the quests that aren't strictly related to racing can be very hit-and-miss in terms of enjoyment. The presence of microtransactions is unsettling to see in the publisher's non-sports titles. If you can ensure you aren't tempted to buy new cars due to the paltry reward payouts, you'll have a very good time with this racing title.
Lego 2K Drive lets you drive at full speed leaving a trail of destruction across open worlds and intense race tracks. Despite bringing good ideas to the table, the game keeps many cards hidden in its sleeve, at the cost of Drive Pass and microtransactions. It is possible to have a lot of fun playing the campaign entirely offline, but there is an absence of more content characteristic of the versatility of the LEGO brand, mainly the minifigures, which cannot be customized and are scarce to acquire by playing, but, not without irony, are abundant in the microtransactions.

LEGO 2K Drive does not disappoint and delivers as a very enjoyable racing game. It doesn't aim to dethrone the genre leaders and follows its own path with a fun but somewhat brief story mode. It is a franchise with the potential to become something bigger if it expands the open-world experience, offers new stories, and undergoes natural growth without overusing microtransactions.

LEGO 2K Drive is classic LEGO fun with hours of exploration and racing to enjoy at any age.
The return of the Lego Racer with intuitive control and brilliant action. The story unfolding in the charming open world and creative mode that fulfills Lego fan's desire are also attractive. Though 2K's notorious micro-transaction is still there, it is a quality game for having fun with family and friends.

LEGO 2K Drive is a fun title that will bring back many memories for older players, but also allows younger ones to race in a colorful and humorous universe. The universe of this famous license has been well transcribed, and it's always fun to explore Bricklandia while destroying the scenery along the way. Unfortunately, the game's pleasant gameplay is hampered by zones that require loading times, microtransactions to obtain additional characters and the second part of the campaign mode. The title should nevertheless appeal to fans of other LEGO games looking for a new experience.

LEGO Racers was yesterday, LEGO Drive is the future. At least that was the plan of 2K, who together with Lego created a kind of Forza Horizon for the playroom. And that works surprisingly well. Detailed and large worlds, peppered with numerous story and side missions as well as a wealth of challenges and collectibles await diligent explorers. Unfortunately, you have lost sight of what is probably your greatest strength: you are no longer a fun racer.

LEGO 2K Drive's solid Story Mode is mainly undone by uneven pacing and the inability to play it online with friends. Add in the game's comprehensive vehicle builder, and it all leads to a solid debut for the 2K/LEGO partnership, even if the microtransactions can feel like stepping on a square LEGO brick.
Whether you're a fan of LEGO, arcade racing, or both, this game comes highly recommended from us, with the unfortunate caveat that it also features pretty aggressive monetisation. Tactile open worlds have a decent amount to discover, the Story mode strikes the perfect tone, and the driving itself is great fun. On top of all that, an impressive build mode lets you make your own crazy cars, though it's a shame you can't share them with your pals. Unfortunately, the microtransactions are hard to ignore, and they drag down what is otherwise a creative and engaging racer.
Even though I enjoyed the actual racing and especially the story campaign in Lego 2K Drive, but for me a player who loves to play online this game gives me pause. I don’t get a lot of time to spend on games between reviewing them, my kids and just life overall. So, sitting down to play and seeing my opponents all have super tricked out rides; I just know I am in for a loss. I don’t have an issue with microtransactions in games, but I do have an issue when players can just purchase power making it unfair for those who can’t or just won’t. If you plan on strictly playing Lego 2K Drive single player, there is a lot to enjoy here…. Even with the wonky drifting system.
Lego 2K Drive is a neat little racing game with quite possibly the coolest car creation tools I have ever encountered. While I find myself unable to make anything besides the most rudimentary vehicle, there will be some astonishing creations in the game before long. Despite some issues with side activities, this is still a decent game if you want to ditch the realistic racing games for bricks on wheels.
LEGO 2K Drive is a great racing game. The world that is built using a combination of LEGO bricks and real-world objects is stunning and looks like some kid or LEGO hobbyist, made this world in their own home. However, once the game tries to do something that is not racing using a racing control system, that's when the wheels fall off this particular LEGO racer.
A gleefully colourful and typically humorous LEGO game, LEGO 2K Drive is an enjoyable open world racer that unfortunately offers an uneven challenge and a Story Mode that can be something of a grind. And yet, throwing a LEGO vehicle around Bricklandia is good, clean fun. Swings and roundabouts.
