Brian Silva, director of the upcoming Lego 2K Drive, said during a preview of Visual Concepts’ new racing game: “Yes, I’ll compare Mario Kart and Forza Horizon.” The comparison was the first thing that popped into my mind after I got my hands dirty with about three hours of hijinx driving in the open world Lego 2K Drive and the power-packed races, acceleration pads, and lots of drift. .
However, being an officially licensed Lego game, Lego 2K Drive seems to have the building blocks of more than just its influences.
The setup of the Lego 2K Drive is pretty standard: you’re the kid new to the block and you need to raise your reputation by winning races and completing side quests, eventually earning enough reputation to challenge the characters in the story are large and unfold. New area of the map. That’s how the stage is set for these types of games, but what matters is something that only Lego can deliver. If you’ve played any Lego action adventure games or watched Lego movies, you’ll be familiar with the humour of the franchise.
It is that slight awkwardness that is the basis for Lego 2K Drive to contextualize the driving adventure in the open world. The story universe broadcasters recounted the events of the game with careless self-awareness, mocking the absurdity of what was happening. Almost all of the character names sound like a cheesy pun involving cars, and the side quests require you to do silly errands for NPCs – although I think I did. too many missions to help the police do their damn job and now I’m part of the problem, but that’s on me.
Lego blocks themselves are an integral part of the gameplay and open world design. “Everything you see in Lego in the game can be built in the real world with Lego,” Silva said of the buildings, foliage and other objects seen in the game. the identity of the game.
Blocklandia’s open world is made up of many different types of terrain. Your vehicle automatically and instantly transforms into an off-road vehicle – a race car for open roads, an off-road all-terrain vehicle and a speedboat for cruising on the water. It’s great to navigate the world and be able to use different types of vehicles quickly, which further emphasizes the many media customization features.
