The player can choose how he wants to progress in the game. Ahead is a massive world filled with driving races, mini-games, special challenges and collectibles. Worlds assembled from blocks are also broken down and, on the other hand, put together again. So players can collect familiar vehicles from different Lego themes if they wish. Familiar Lego themes are included, such as the city-themed City, creativity-fueling builder and fast-paced Speed Champions, plus many other familiar structures.
Driving in the game is a fast-paced experience that breaks boundaries. Countless different tracks provide great variety, and in addition, the player has at his disposal unique special abilities that can affect the course of the race and driving.
In a sort of Lego bricks, the player also gets a chance to customize his vehicles according to his own taste. There are over a thousand different LEGO bricks with which you can tune and adjust your car in the most exclusive ways. With the different blocks, the vehicle can be fine-tuned with many different colors, stickers and flashes.
