Journey into the spooky Egyptian temple but beware of the curse

Sorry folks it's another racing game. But hang on... what's this? Lego cars? That you can build? And then race? That's crazy, that is! What's more, it's looking pretty darn fine...

I love Lego! I'll have you know that I've still got some.
Good for you. Bet you haven't got any Plasticine though. Or Play-Doh! Anyway, we're talking about Lego, the little plastic bricks that encouraged creativity amongst the young. What was the best thing you ever built?

A tank. Then I got bored and turned it into a house.
Such was its flexibility. Well, it seems to be making a bit of a comeback, thanks to Lego Media. Unfortunately the game isn't quite as flexible as the real thing - you can only build cars - but you can make them as good or as bad as you want.

Brilliant! I'm going to make a shoe-shaped car.
If you so desire, you freak! You can also build your driver by choosing legs, body, head and hat. Then you can take your bizarre creation out onto the track for a test drive. When you're happy with your wacky racer it's time to enter a race.

Single race, Tournament and Multiplayer modes, perchance?
Genius! Yes, there are all the usual modes of play but why the hell not? If it ain't broke...

So what about the tracks?
Twelve in all, based on four of the most popular Lego themes - Pirates, Castle, Space and Adventurers. There's a lot of variation too, with plenty of relevant obstacles - during one of the Space tracks you're pestered by a beautifully animated UFO. It would be plain crazy to have that occur on one of the Pirate tracks, wouldn't it?
