Lego Stunt Rally is a Lego-themed racing video game for Windows and Game Boy Color. Developed by Intelligent Games for PC and Graphic State for Game Boy Color and published by Lego Media, the game features a track editor that allows players to build single-player and multiplayer tracks. A PlayStation version of the game was in development at Intelligent Games [4] before shifting to Asylum Entertainment, [5] but it was eventually canceled shortly before release. [6]

Gameplay

Lego Stunt Rally features driving with a slot car-esque control; the player controls the acceleration and braking, but steering is controlled automatically (although the player can change lanes and influence how their vehicle takes corners). There are also powerups which the player can pick up and use at any time, much like kart racers.

The main feature of the game is the track editor, which allows the player to build their own tracks. When the game is first played, the editor will only have a selection of basic track pieces to work with, along with only two of the four environments. To gain more pieces and environment options, the player has to race in the game's career mode, including twenty-one races. When the player wins career events, they unlock new features for the editor, including powerups, environments, and track pieces.

Development

Lego Stunt Rally started development in 1998 as Lego Moto; however, the name was changed for unknown reasons. [7]

The game was originally planned to feature free-roam driving, but during playtests kids frequently got lost when going off-road, so the driving was changed to be on rails to help players stay on the track. [7]
