Tears of the Kingdom vs Lego 2K Drive

It’s not really fair (or perhaps meaningful) to compare the new Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom with Lego 2K Drive. They are completely different games. But then again, why not?

Tears of a Kingdom does an fantastic job of building on an amazing game (Zelda the Breath of the Wild) and making a six year old console feel new again. Lego 2K Drive is a racing game in the Lego universe with shades of the splendid Lego City Undercover. Zelda is great because of the depth and the number of things you can do. Although at the moment I’m still in the learning curve and expect to be there for some time. The nice thing about Lego 2K Drive is that the amount of learning that you have to do at the start is fairly minimal. It’s a driving game - and I’ve done those before. But the sheer scale of the game is very impressive with a huge open world to play in. I love the way that your vehicle changes to match where you are, flipping from car to boat to buggy as you smash across the terrain. The racing is intense, although the game works hard to keep up the tension by making sure there are the right number of cars in front and behind most of the time. I’ve not got the Lego game - with a bit of luck it will fall in price a bit and I’ll get a copy.
