LEGO has been around for more than 40 years, and now the company is beginning to make its mark in the realm of video games. Building things is synonymous with the LEGO franchise, and building your vehicle with virtual LEGO bricks is quite rewarding and very easy to do in LEGO Racers. This game allows younger gamers and LEGO fans to construct their own cars, select and customize their own drivers, and then take to one of the 25 different tracks in one of four different worlds. Hidden within each of the different tracks are some power-ups that will supercharge your car and give it a boost of power that will help you blast your way to the front of the pack. Finding the power-ups and racing against the other five drivers in this game is half the fun. One really cool feature allows you to save your driver and car and link up via the Game Boy Color Game Link cable to battle it out against one of your pals (provided, of course, that your friend also has a copy of the game). If you want to go it alone, the five computer-controlled drivers in the game will offer up some competition, but not enough for serious racing-game fans. The AI in the game isn't stellar, but, then again, younger gamers like to win, and this game delivers an incredible gaming experience for budding Game Boy Color enthusiasts. The game's graphics are on par with other Game Boy Color titles and the controls are solid. The instructions are easy to read and follow, and, as a result, the gameplay is simple. Serious gamers who are LEGO fans might want to check this title out, but keep in mind that this is LEGO Racers were talking about, not Test Drive 6. --Todd Mowatt Pros: An incredible portable gaming experience for budding gamers The combination of building and racing cars makes this game highly replayable Cons: Way too easy for experienced gamers
