Amazon.com Review:
Games seem less susceptible to sophomore slump than movies or books. Quite often, when a game sequel comes out, it has everything you liked from the first game, and some more, too. Happily, LEGO Racers 2 is just such a sequel.
When the game begins, you get a chance to build your own car, and even build and name your own racer from 'people' pieces. Building cars is fun without even playing the game. If you're not happy with a car you've built, or just want to build more, the main menu lets you build all the cars you want with a huge variety of virtual bricks.
Though at heart it's a racing game, LEGO Racers 2 offers more than just racing. A large solo adventure game lets you explore five worlds. The worlds represent some of LEGO's lines that you might already have bricks for, such as Life on Mars and Arctic Explorer. Each world has places to explore, with minigames to discover and power-ups that will improve your car's performance or smash the other cars in a race. And, of course, there's plenty of racing, even in the adventure game.
Once a world has been unlocked in the adventure game, you can access the world from the race menu. From there, you can race for time, or against a friend in two-player mode. Two-player mode also allows you and a friend to battle each other, racing around the worlds looking for power-ups to smash your opponent's car.
Adults and kids will have fun playing this game--together or separately, it doesn't matter. LEGO Racers 2 is varied enough to appeal to different kinds of game players, and fun enough to offer repeat-play value. This racing game definitely belongs in the winner's circle. (Ages 6 to 12) --Jeff Quick

Rating:  - better than the first
My boys, 5 and 8, loved the first game and badgered me to get this one. They were not disappointed. Even I can tell that the graphics are better, and the courses are more sophisticated and exotic. They cracked up when the guy lost his car and had to start running. The 2 boys could also cooperate in the game, which is great. If you don't mind the fact that it is, afterall, just another racing game, you should get it if your kids are this age. I think it is great for "little" racers. At least they ... Read More
Rating:  - A Real Review for Serious Buyers
Now I know a lot of people have given this game bad ratings, some because of install problems, some because they thought it wasn't as good as the original. Well guess what? THEY ARE BOTH GREAT GAMES!!! Lego Racers 1 is my most memorable PC game, the characters, the levels, the fun. And I am a strong fan of the second as well. The worlds are enormous(there are FIVE, count em, FIVE), the races aren't too easy, but not that hard, the customization level is good, and it has great graphics.

Rating: - A good game, but not as good as Lego Racer 1
While this is a fun game, it is not as much fun as the first game. The races are more challenging, and that can be either good or bad. My younger children found this game too hard to play and they went back to the LR1. There are not as many options for building cars. Perhaps the biggest drawback is that you cannot save multiple games. Only one person can have a saved game. (You can get around this by having different people log on to Windows XP using different accounts.) Having said this, it ... Read More
Rating: - Really fun
I don't own this game,but I play it with my friend.We just like to drive around for fun. We only race sometimes. The course are absolutley amazing!! It's fun pushing construction cars in the water!! The game isn't about that though. The game might sound childish, but I'm 11 and I still like it. THIS GAME IS GREAT!
Rating: - A very good game
This is like a real race game. But you do not need a Powerhouse pc.It worked well on 3 pcs. (At press time a pc was broken)Does well and a hint hit the fire power up key while the powerups are clcleing. :-)
