Lego 2K Drive

Lego 2K Drive is an open-world racing game made out of Lego. There are races, as you'd expect, but you can also freely explore each of the worlds, collect parts and upgrade your cars. It stands out for updating the popular Lego destruction and exploration found in games like Lego City Undercover and Lego Dimensions and creates a game that continues to grow over time.

Team Up With Players

The focus of the game is racing, where you put your transforming vehicle to the test in a range of on and off-road terrain and open waters. Around the central racing, you can explore the worlds that lead you through a story or jump on quirky Lego minigames.

Along with the main story, you can collect and create your vehicles with over 1,000 bricks to find. This expands your racing options and adds the ability for land-based vehicles to transform into boats when over water. You can also meet Lego characters and take on missions for them, which further incentivises you to discover more of the environments.

The result is a fun and creative Lego game that appeals to younger players. The combination of exploration, destruction and multiplayer modes makes it great for families. Add to this the ability to construct your own vehicles from Lego bricks that determine both performance and aesthetics and you have a great package of brick-based fun.

Good to know

Insights to ensure your child's gaming experience remains safe and enjoyable

Competitive nature

Racing encourages competition. This can frustrate some younger players when they play against older siblings or adults. Encourage regular breaks and provide tools to help manage their emotional responses.

Talk about real-life driving

Some racing games encourage dangerous driving or unrealistic speed. Talk about the difference between reality and fiction to help them understand what is expected offline.

Multiplayer Features

Some racing games offer multiplayer modes. Manage your child's interactions with other players by using parental controls and talking to them about positive behaviour to ensure a safe and respectful gaming environment.

Skill level

Suggested by Family Gaming Database

Very young players may struggle with the harder racing, but can still enjoy driving and exploring the world. The game clearly signposts where to go next and provides interesting missions for all ages.

Content rating

Rated PEGI 7 for Violence. Players can drive into LEGO mini-figures, which include human-like characters as well as animals or hit them using power-ups such as rockets. However, these figures are not harmed. In some mini-games, such as those involving aliens and robots, smashing LEGO characters is the goal. However, all violence occurs within a comical context featuring LEGO figures. There are some 'spooky' areas featuring a Halloween theme. However, the areas are not particularly scary. Finally, there is some cheeky humour, such as the line "I like big nuggets and I cannot lie", but never any offensive or explicit language.
