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.We're sorry, but we could not fulfill your request for /2014/06/19/lego-racers-2/ on this server.

Lego Racers 2 is het vervolg op Lego Racers uit 1999. Nadat Rocket Racer in het eerste deel na een spannende race is verslagen, gaat hij naar Xalax. Xalax ligt in de ruimte en daar verslaat hij iedereen die het tegen hem durft op te nemen op het Galactische racekampioenschap. Het nieuws verspreidt zich, dus ook naar Sandy Bay. Daar woont de speler en samen met zijn hulpje Sparky gaat hij de strijd aan en probeert hij de beste racer van het heelal te worden door Rocket Racer te verslaan. De besturing van Lego Racers 2 verschilt van dat van het eerste deel. De racer heeft nu te maken met grip. Verder kan de auto kapotgaan door toedoen van powerups, door tegen muren op te rijden of van een helling te vallen. Tijdens de race moet de racer door de aangegeven poorten rijden om te race uit te rijden.
Al mist hij zo'n poort moet hij terugrijden en er alsnog doorheen rijden. Er zijn 5 werelden. Als een wereld is uitgespeeld, mag de racer naar de volgende. Elke wereld is verdeeld in 5 racen, behalve Sandy Bay (4 racen). In Sandy Bay moet de speler racen tegen Gavin, Bobby, Mike en Fred. In Adventurers, op Mars en in Arctic moet in de eerste vier racen geracet worden 7 willekeurige racers en in de vijfde race tegen respectievelijk Sam Sinister, Riegel en The Berg. In Xalax wordt er de eerste vier racen tegen 7 bewoners van Xalax gereden en in de laatste race tegen Rocket Racer. Naast het racen is er ook nog de optie verkennen, waarbij de racer een wereld verkent op zoek naar gouden stenen (deze moeten gespaard worden tot een aantal van 35) en naar wervelwinden. Met dit laatste kan de racer een bonusopdracht uitvoeren. Wanneer deze goed is uitgevoerd, mag hij een upgrade voor de auto uitkiezen. Gedurende een race kunnen powerups opgepakt worden door er simpelweg doorheen te rijden.
De powerups kunnen vervolgens geactiveerd worden. Er zijn in totaal 7 powerups, ieder met een ander effect: Na een bonusopdracht bestaat er de mogelijkheid een upgrade uit te zoeken. De speler kan kiezen uit de volgende upgrades: 22 used & new from Available from these sellers. It'll take lots of speed and skill to collect the elusive golden bricks in this release. You'll be driving in entirely new worlds and taking on even more challenging bosses, all in an effort to help Rocket Racer claim the galaxy's championship. Sporting a shiny new graphics engine, new power-ups, and a great car and driver builder, LEGO Racers 2 promises racing adventure in true LEGO style. The drivers and racers look and react more like real LEGOs than ever before--in a crash, they break into individual LEGO bricks. The scenery is equally responsive; you'll see trees explode on impact and more. 3.7 out of 5 stars #932 in Video Games > More Systems > Game Boy Advance > Games 5 x 5 x 1 inches;
