Lego Racers

The presentation is cool and I love how much customization you have over your vehicles, but the gameplay is pretty lacking. The track design is flat with rarely any obstacles to get in your way during the races while turns are wide and don't require tight steering. This is likely to compensate for the fact that your vehicle is really slow and maneuvers like a truck regardless of how you've built it, which makes actual driving pretty unsatisfying. A shame, too, because the item system is cool.

The first racing game I ever played. I only played a demo until I was 15, and it's been nothing but rollin' ever since
