Lego Racers 2 is a Lego-themed racing video game developed by Attention to Detail and published by Lego Software. It was first released in September 2001 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 2 and Game Boy Advance. It is the sequel to the 1999 game Lego Racers. This sequel was first revealed by The Lego Group on 20 August 2001. Unlike the original Lego Racers, the player has more "freedom", because the player can race or drive freely, and there are other characters that the player can talk to. Lego Racers 2 also has, like in the original, a car and characters designer. It has more bricks but fewer characters to make and edit.
In Lego Racers 2, up to 11 opponents can be chosen. There are five large worlds, starting with the hometown, Sandy Bay. The player wins 4 races in Sandy Bay, then collects gold bricks to move on to Dino Island, Mars, Arctic, and finally Xalax. In Xalax, the player will face Rocket Racer, who when beaten, will hand over the title as the greatest racer in the galaxy. Each world is based on a particular theme. In addition to racing cars in the Racers product line, each theme is based on an actual series Lego sets, and includes parts of those sets. Upgrades for players' car may be obtained by winning mini games. Each mini game is accessible by driving through a vortex while exploring the Lego worlds. There are two mini games per world, one on an easy level and one on a difficult level. The first vortex players go to will be the easy level. There are three categories of upgrades available: Grip, which improves how well players' car turns and how much their car slides; Power, which controls how fast players' car goes and how much climbing power their car has;
and Shield, which controls how much damage the car can take before being destroyed. Powerups are various types of weapons that can be used while racing. Players obtain a powerup by driving over a white, spinning, glowing Lego brick. A counter appears that cycles through all of the powerups; the one it lands on is the one players get. Players may press the "fire" button to stop the counter. Otherwise, the counter will automatically give players a bonus based on their position in the race. Persons in last place will receive the best powerups. Unlike Lego Racers 1, there are no power-enhancing bricks for their powerup. Lego Racers 2 was rated average to positive. The PC version was given a score of 7.8 out of 10 by IGN; the reviewer praised its graphics and gameplay,[3] but criticized the voice and talk which were derided as "cartoon gibberish". IGN rated the PS2 version only 6 out of 10, which corresponding graphics and gameplay were inferior to its PC counterpart. An additional note is that a copy cost $20 for PC, but $40 for PS2;
the reviewer thought the latter to be poor value for money, while the PC version, at half the cost, was acceptable. 5 used & new from $9.99 LEGO Racers, start your engines! Rocket Racer is back and he's teamed up with the toughest competitors in the galaxy to bring racers of all ages this awesome challenge. Players must win their races, keep their cars on the road and muster all their adventure racing skills to find and collect the elusive Golden Bricks. Games seem less susceptible to sophomore slump than movies or books. Quite often, when a game sequel comes out, it has everything you liked from the first game, and some more, too. Happily, LEGO Racers 2 is just such a sequel. When the game begins, you get a chance to build your own car, and even build and name your own racer from "people" pieces. Building cars is fun without even playing the game. If you're not happy with a car you've built, or just want to build more, the main menu lets you build all the cars you want with a huge variety of virtual bricks.
Though at heart it's a racing game, LEGO Racers 2 offers more than just racing. A large solo adventure game lets you explore five worlds. The worlds represent some of LEGO's lines that you might already have bricks for, such as Life on Mars and Arctic Explorer. Each world has places to explore, with minigames to discover and power-ups that will improve your car's performance or smash the other cars in a race. And, of course, there's plenty of racing, even in the adventure game. Once a world has been unlocked in the adventure game, you can access the world from the race menu. From there, you can race for time, or against a friend in two-player mode. Two-player mode also allows you and a friend to battle each other, racing around the worlds looking for power-ups to smash your opponent's car. Adults and kids will have fun playing this game--together or separately, it doesn't matter. LEGO Racers 2 is varied enough to appeal to different kinds of game players, and fun enough to offer repeat-play value.
This racing game definitely belongs in the winner's circle.

Let's Play Lego Racers 2 (and finish it) Approximately one million years ago I started a Let's Play of Lego Racers 2, ironically developed by Attention To Detail Studios in 2001 for the Let's Play Racing Games thread. There are a number of reasons why I never finished let's playing this, school got in the way and also I'm pretty sure the Let's Play Racing Games thread is archived now.
Now that the summertime is here it's finally time to hunker down for a couple of days and do this thing (again). Lego Racers 2 is a battle racing game, where you have the ability to build your own car and use various weapons to destroy your opponents' cars. The plot basically is that your lego character wants to race the re-famous Rocket Racer (the champion racer in lego racers 1) and become the racing champion of the galaxy! Chiefly this involves me making ugly cars and having a good time- enjoy. Original Archived Let's Play available at the Let's Play Archive There are no reviews yet. Be the first one to write a review.
