Cons

Bottom Line
This is a genuinely fun racing game that absolutely nails the open-world exploration formula, especially for kids ages 6-9 who find the destruction mechanics and creative building wildly entertaining. The combo of racing, building, and exploration is well-executed and offers tons of replay value, though you'll want to know upfront that the game does push microtransactions and has some performance stutters. If your kids love LEGO and racing games, they'll likely get serious mileage out of this one—just don't expect the in-game building options to match real LEGO set variety.
