Originally conceived by High Voltage founder Kerry J. A local multiplayer mode also allows multiple players to race against each other. Items can be used by the player to hinder other racers' progress, and the player can create their own cars and characters with unlocked Lego bricks and use them to race.
Players control a minifigure, allowing them to drive a variety of cars built out of Lego and race them against other minifigure characters. Set in the fictional 'Legoland' universe, the single-player mode follows various minifigure characters competing in a racing competition created by a fictional racing champion called Rocket Racer. Lego Racers is a Lego-themed racing video game developed by High Voltage Software and published by Lego Media.
