LEGO Legends Of Chima: Speedorz Review (iPhone, iPad)

Console LEGO games have been largely entertaining, particularly those involving Star Wars, Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings. Warner Bros. hoped the magic would rub off on iPhone and iPad with the release of LEGO Legends of Chima: Speedorz, a free-to-play kart racer where players attempt to defeat a variety of opponents in one-on-one contests. Good idea, sub par execution.

Compared to most iOS kart racing titles, Chima comes up woefully short. For starters, it only has one cup, with more on the way via downloadable update. This being the case, the Tribal Cup is pathetically easy, and the computer doesn't put up much of a fight until the sixth and final race, where it continuously comes from behind to steal victories.

The whole idea is to grab LEGO pieces, as they function as the game's virtual currency; there are no options for in-app purchase. From there, you're able to buy new Speedor hover bikes with superior abilities, just in case you prefer to unceremoniously destroy the competition.

As for the racing component, while the game's fun to a degree, the developers made some questionable decisions. There's only one control scheme, which involves pressing left and right arrows to steer while the vehicle auto accelerates; no braking whatsoever. Problem is, the action's somewhat jerky, making it easy to crash into things. At least on the positive side, most objects (rocks, tree roots) break and don't impede your progress too much.
