The Game

The Drome Racing Challenge is a different kind of multiplayer game, designed for LEGO.com. You take the role of a futuristic race driver, collecting and modifying a set of custom racing cars, strategically preparing them to handle the diverse hazards of the Drome. When you’re ready to compete, your car faces off against another player's vehicle in an action-packed, anime-style cartoon that is different every time you play. When you win, you earn credits to improve your collection and advance your racing Class, taking your place on the ranking boards among the champions of the Drome.

The Design

One of Gamelab’s most ambitious titles to date, the Drome Racing Challenge was set in the science-fiction home of the LEGO Racers series. A massively multiplayer asynchronous game, Drome players collected and customized cars and then raced them against players who might not be online at the same time they were. Deep strategy in outfitting your car’s engine, chassis, and wheels provided the main gameplay choices, and each match played out as a procedurally generated, Speed Racer-style cartoon. No joke! Although LEGO has retired the game, for more than five years the Drome Racing Challenge generated massive traffic. It was definitely a title ahead of its time.
