Summary
Lego 2K Driveis afast-paced, fun, and incredibly charming Lego racing gamethat is unique in the way it plays. One of the major standout features of the game is the vehicles themselves, which can transform in the middle of a race to navigate around the course. The game also features vast open areas that can be fully explored by the player, with each of them containing a few challenges and competitive races that will need to be completed to move the plot forward.
The truth is, while speed is very important inLego 2K Drive, the sheer variety of tricky challenges mean that a vehicle needs to still be balanced overall to be considered reliable, and luckily, there are plenty of exciting cars, and boats too, that fit this description. These are the very best vehicles in the game that players need to get their hands on as soon as possible.
1McLaren F1 LM
Speed: +6
Thisglossy orange McLarenis incredibly fast once it gets going, and while it can complete speed challenges like nobody’s business, it also relies on the player’s driving skills for it to be fully effective because of how dreadful the acceleration is. With that being said, so long as the driver manages to avoid any bumps or nasty turns, they’ll have a real speed demon on their hands. It also possesses some fantastic handling that can help with some of the sharper tracks.
Aside from its stats, the McLaren F1 LM also has a very sleek design, which is a real feast for the eyes, and as long as players aren’t too reckless with this car, it will serve them very well in the long run.
2Chamfered Wagon
Speed: No Difference
The Chamfered Wagon might not boast the immense speed of some of its peers, but it’s still a fantastic vehicle overall that can easily keep up with fellow racers while also handling tricky corners with ease. The majority ofthe street carsin this game are double-edged swords that place a lot of emphasis on one stat over the other, but the Chamfered Wagon is the only one that is fairly balanced overall.
It also possesses some of the best handling in its vehicle class, making it usable for pretty much any type of challenge and stage, and the fact that it’s also a heavy car makes it a real force to be reckoned with on the track.
3Cat Deville
From appearances alone, the Cat Deville can seem likesomewhat of a gimmickcar with its bright pink cat ears and tongue poking out at the front, but it’s an extremely reliable vehicle that is more than capable of holding its own in a race. Similar to a lot of street cars, the Cat Deville does admittedly possess a lackluster acceleration stat, but it more than makes up for this with its speed and handling, which ensure that it never feels too clunky to use.
What makes this car shine is that, despite being fairly easy to control, it’s still classed as a “Heavy” vehicle, meaning that it will have no problem knocking other racers, or enemies in general, out of the way.
44x4 Adventurer
Speed: -6
The 4x4 Adventurer is the closest equivalent toa monster truckin the entire game, being a big and sturdy off-roader that has a ton of health and surprisingly good handling. The slow speed can be a letdown, but it doesn’t matter too much, since a lot of the off-road sections are more about dodging environmental obstacles rather than traveling as fast as possible.
The gigantic design of the car also makes it virtually unstoppable in regular races, since it can easily bash its competition out of the way and will take little to no damage itself. It’s an incredibly fun car to use, and one that can prove to be extremely useful for a lot of the obstacle courses.
5Organ Donor Truck
Speed: +3
It’s hard to find a vehicle in this game, and any racing game for that matter, which has a morecreative and memorable designthan the Organ Donor Truck. While it has an incredibly unique look, this off-roader is still no slouch when it comes to its stats, boasting a very quick speed and acceleration, which is very rare for these types of cars.
It’s very reliable and can cruise through jungles and dirt roads with ease, but on the other hand, it’s incredibly fragile and can break down after just a few hits. It might not be very sturdy, but the Organ Donor Truck still excels in the speed department, and its handling is still good enough to ensure it doesn’t feel like it’s constantly driving on ice.
6Dusty Roadster
Speed: +4
The Dusty Roadster is without a doubt the jack-of-all-trades in terms of off-road vehicles. The acceleration may not be up to everyone’s standards, but it doesn’t matter when the car handles as well as it does whilestill having a blistering max speed. It’s an incredible vehicle for the Rescue minigame since it makes picking up civilians so much easier, even if the car is a little light on its feet.
Additionally, it’s one of the best cars in the game for the regular Cup Series Mode, since it can excel on virtually any kind of track. It also helps that the blue, white, and yellow design scheme is so eye-catching, to the point where it can be a little difficult to focus on the race at hand with such a wonderful-looking car on-screen.
7Evaporator
The Evaporator isn’t a heavy-duty kind of boat. In fact, it doesn’t stand a chance in the face of any obstacles, but with that being said, it can still make quick work of maps that have long-running stretches of water for it to glide across. It also manages to maintain a good speed without sacrificing any of the acceleration, so even if it does spin out in the middle of the race, it will be able to catch up in no time at all.
It can be extremely difficult to get accustomed to the Evaporator’s limited health, but if players remain fully aware of what can and cannot harm them during a minigame or race, then it’s a fantastic boat to take out for a spin.
8Foul Runnings Boat
No one can stop the Foul Runnings Boat once it reaches full speed, and while it’s not always a guarantee that this will happen,it’s much better suited to skilled playerswho can avoid any harm during a race to maintain a slow but steady pace to reach the top. Luckily, many courses provide plenty of space for the boats to drive around in, and it’s these areas where this specific boat can stretch its legs to outrun the competition.
It’s not going to be doing any heavy lifting since it is still a little low on health, but the Foul Runnings Boat is amazing for catching up in a race, or simply leaving everyone behind by gaining a long and healthy lead.
9Supersonic Jet Boat
Considering that this peculiar vehicle is a jet and a boat fused into one, it makes sense that it would have an advantage over its competition, but it’s truly astonishing just how fast and efficient the Supersonic Jet Boat is. The only area where it falters is the acceleration, and while this might seem a little troubling, it’s also the only vehicle of its class to have no more than a single minus stat, making it incredibly reliable and efficient.
There isn’t a single mode where this jet boat isn’t useful, and while it isn’t ideal for beginners who might still have a little trouble avoiding any damage during a race, it’s nonetheless the best boat in the game by quite a margin.
