Lego Racers 2 is a Lego-themed racing video game developed by Attention to Detail, published by Lego Software and distributed in North America by Electronic Arts. It was first released in September 2001 for Windows, PlayStation 2 and Game Boy Advance.
The main mode of the game is a single-player open-world adventure game featuring a galaxy of five worlds: Sandy Bay, Dino Island, Mars, the Arctic, and Xalax. The goal is to enter Xalax and beat the reigning galactic racing champion, Rocket Racer.
Except for Sandy Bay, each world contains four races against five casual AI drivers from that world, a final boss race and a lobby connecting all five races. Each world also contains three hidden golden bricks and two hidden bonus games.
When entering any world for the first time, the player builds his own car or chooses between Sparky's pre-built cars for that world. The player then drives around each world using their car for that world to access and enter all activities. To gain access to new worlds, the player must collect golden bricks by winning non-boss races and finding hidden golden bricks in each world.
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, 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.
