Lego 2K Drive impressions — The joy of running over everything

It took me a few seconds to learn how to drive in Lego 2K Drive, the new game coming from Take-Two Interactive’s Visual Concepts studio. And it was a few more seconds before I started running over everything in sight — from Lego characters who were propelled into the air on contact to lampposts that blew apart into various Lego pieces.

So the developers had the right idea when they designed their first open-world driving game in the long-running Lego video game franchise. Take-Two’s 2K did a decent job of keeping a lid on this one, which was in the works for nearly five years at Visual Concepts in Novato, California. Interestingly, this game wasn’t made by longtime Lego partner TT Games.
