Product Description
Amazon.co.uk
It's a whole new way of playing with LEGOs: no blocks required! Kids still need a vivid imagination but in today's tech-savvy world, they'll also need a 3-D graphics accelerator card. Racers allows players to build, customise and race both cars and drivers. Building is unlimited and there's 12 different tracks in a variety of settings to choose from.
It's an interesting exercise to compare the real-life elements to their electronic counterparts. Any LEGO fan will recognise infamous opponents from their plastic incarnations; Captain Redbeard, King Kahuka and Basil the Batlord are some of our favorites, and they're just as great-looking onscreen as they are in the toy chest kits. The level of hand-eye coordination required to build amazing cars is, we think, lower than with real LEGOS (and there's no dropping and breaking possible!). Parents don't need to buy a million different sets to get all desired pieces--they're all right there on the screen.
We found the racing arena to be a huge hit with arcade-game fans. The tracks are treacherous, the themes are wildly detailed and there's lots of hidden power-ups and shortcuts for when your skill level increases. If you think you've got all the tracks mastered, try them out in reverse. It's harder than you might think! Drivers, start your engines, because LEGO Racers is worth the ride. --Jill Lightner

We got this game for our 5 yr old daughter and she is really enjoying it. She plays it using a joystick as the keyboard controls were too complex for small hands that are not used to using keyboards, but the game plays happily with the stick. She's even teaching her 3 1/2 yr old sister how to play. In addition it's a fun enough game for us (the parents) to play aswell, particularly against one another ;-) so it's not likely she'll grow out of it too soon.
Buy this game. It's cheap, it's fun, it's accessible for the whole family.

Incredible game!
Amazing, you feel in the game, it's got OK graphics,
you can change your views so you feel like the driver.
The cool lego brick world, you can totally blow up!
But, as soon as Lego Racers 2 came out, I've compared the two,
and Lego Racers 2 is 101 times worse than the original!
Buy this cheap game, but only buy no. 2 if you want to put the gamer off LR.
Hopes this helps

Fast reactions are required for this game and my nine year old son's are certainly faster than mine. When ever he wants to get his own back he just challenges me to a game of Lego Racers and proceeds to thrash me convincingly.
Lego Racers is not just a fast paced racing game it is also an outlet for a childs imagination in that the vehicles chosen to race first have to be constructed. From an easy to use menu a driver is selected and and kitted-out in race gear, the next stage is to construct your vehicle, using standard lego bricks you can let your imagination go wild from simple go-karts to rocket powered monsters.
Once created the races are something else, the wonderful 3D graphics, sound effects and vibrant colours fill the screen, as you race your opponent or the computer you can collect various power-ups to help you win the race, from spilling oil to make your opponent skid to dropping bombs to blow them off the track. This is a fast -paced very enjoyable game and it is to be recomended to anyone to keep their children occupied for a long time (though not necessarily quietly).

Not very good
Installed this on an old '98 machine and it works but as stated above it really isn't a very good racing game, however it is cheap. Read more
