Lego Racers Review

I am going to review the game Lego Racers. Lego Racers can be played on Nintendo 64, Playstation, Windows and Game Boy Colour. The game publisher is Lego Media and the PEGI rating for the game is 3+. The game has both single and multi-player functions. The things that you use to play the game are the arrow keys, other buttons e.g. shift and use tools e.g. Mouse, Keyboard and Joystick. The tools that are easier are the mouse and keys because they can be easy to use and they don’t go wrong as the joystick can sometimes. The cost of the game is £10.00 for a new one and £1.75 for one used from Amazon.co.uk.

The game is a racing game in which you race to the end and see who wins and along the way you can get power-ups and booster and this can add to your score at the very end of each level you play. Also you can collect points along the way for bonuses and power-ups. The game is a racing, strategy and puzzle game because you are racing against other people and at the same time you are thinking the best way to win the race. Another thing is that you have shortcuts on each level where you go along them and then you may even become first and this makes you quite far ahead. One of the special power-ups let you go through a portal and out. You can choose your own driver and car. I think this is good because you get more variety to choose from and you can choose which world your car is from e.g. moon, jungle, desert etc. This can makes the car change colour, have different parts and wheels for different surfaces depending whether you onn sands, rock on the moon or on watery surface of a rainforest/jungle.

The game was intermediate and it does give varieties of different levels which you unlock each time you complete one. The levels get difficult as you go through and the levels do vary whether you are on a desert or on the moon for example. On a desert world you get to race on sands you have tombs with mummy heads on, cacti and palm tress. On the moon you get aliens craters etc. The game can be played with only one person or with more people so this gives for more playability and choices. Also you can race against non-player characters and also racing against another player. I enjoyed the game and it wasn’t too complicated but someone under the age of 3 might not know how to play it or understand the game because they might not know what to do. The people who would be interested in the game are young people ages 3, teeangers and also people who like Lego. You can play the game again once you have completed the levels but it does get boring because it the same levels all the while. The game might go on for hours depending or how long you are racing for. There are touraments where you race for a many different tracks and you can choose the numbers of tracks and laps there are on each level. The physics were good but sometimes the cars might be slow at reacting and you may come last rather than first. The physics on the game are trying to be like the real world because the cars are just racing rather than just jumping around. I thought the graphics were very good because the Lego pieces looked like real Lego pieces. There is music the background when you are racing but I don’t think it fits the game that much.

I thought the game was really good and I would recommend this to other people and tell them it is a good game to buy from the shops.
