Building is upheld too, as a mighty garage lets anyone create an interesting set of wheels.
The wheels start spinning, though, as the live service gates start closing.
Even an innocent kart racer can’t escape the perils of live service, it seems.
At one point you challenge a literal house fly to a race.
Turn your attention to the garage and it’s where the Lego bricks truly twirl.
I am… unsure how it feels in the hand.
Really, once you’ve driven a few cars and boats, you’ve driven them all.
Except, unlike Forza Horizon, the emphasis is less on the act of driving and more on collecting.
The most forgivable of the open zone tricks are blue gates that’ll pop up as you explore.
Unfortunately, there’s no getting away from the pain.
What riles me up about the whole live service side is the way it doesn’t really mean anything.
Where 2K Drive shines is in its races, which ironically, feel freer than its open world.
You might find the non-story modes a bit lacking in the course department, though.
Or rather, I was hankering for a bit of a break from green and brown.
There’s still plenty of character and a bustling world filled with charm, all slickly presented.
The races are great fun, with some fantastic tracks to blast around with your pals online or off.
It’s a Lego racing game, come on man…
