This shit has never left my head: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzwV5085Vvo
And dipshit reviewers dock the game for its music compared to Mario Kart
Charming game bug play it for twenty minutes and you'll see why people don't praise its gameplay
this game is fun when you're 8 and don't have any other cart racers, but like said, it's not a very good game.
never played the sequel; it looks retarded.
Green bricks were too overpowered.
Also I can't be the only one who thought the Batlord was the hardest opponent, Rocket Racer seems like a joke in comparison.
I'm pretty sure some races are impossible to beat without green bricks.
Yeah, some of the bosses prioritise getting the green brick warp above all else and you lose for sure if you don't do the same no matter how well you play otherwise.
Kind of wish they had just made a proper sequel that was like the first game but with better item balance instead of whatever Racers 2 was.
green bricks, especially the maxed warp, are definitely OP as fuck. you can easily crush the game on your first run through if you do nothing but prioritize using the warp over and over.
rocket racer is the only slightly challenging race because he does the same thing and basically exclusively spams the warp over and over and over which makes me think that the devs were well aware of how powerful it was.
>It even has a confy christmas mod
sovl
i remember trying for hours to get the warp in free play mode just to see what would happen. also i once told my brother to wait at the start while the other racers went around, because then if he waited long enough he would be ahead of them all
I remember visiting my cousin and dreading the moments he inserted this cartridge in his console, because I just knew he was going to spend hours in building mode instead of actually letting me play as well.
I only have the ps2 version and it eeems like a piece of fucking shit. I want the PC version again. All ps2 games look like fucking garbage
>ps2
Sorry I got the game mixed up with the sequel.
I really liked the item system, aside from the aformentioned green bricks being too good.
i had the second game for PC. it was a nifty little game. enjoyable, if short
The first game is really charming but the cpu rubber banding is awful, boost bricks are overpowered too.
I played the sequel and hated it.
just beat this again a few weeks ago and was amazed that I ever thought it was hard as a stupid kid. should I play the second game?
Behold the only good thing about Lego Racers 2
You don't have to play it now
anon all you've done is make me want to play 2 more.
4-6 hours huh...
same. I was fucking around with it a bit more when I played it recently and it was immediately apparent that all of the cars were identical. apparently there was supposed to be a damage system where bricks would fall off that was cut from the first game and finished for the second.
WRONG
Strangely never played any LEGO Racers games. I did play LEGO Stunt Rally, that was fun. Unfortunately my copy of the game's completely fucked up now, it doesn't load properly.
Played this as a kid aswell, thought it was a lot of fun. Always watched that intro cutscene before creating my own shitty levels kek.
Apparently the way you build your kart has no impact on performance but as a kid I was convinced that it did

depends on the version you have. seriously.
