I used to love Lego Racers. I knew all the tracks and shortcuts, and I knew exactly how to make my favorite racing car. I remember playing the game at home as well as at my friends' houses, and I always made the same car design, as I was convinced it was the fastest. What a great game!
They released a new one ... It's good but it's also still not great. Like Lego could easily have a really cool Mario Kart competitor if they put the effort into it that Nintendo does ... but they don't.
It's 100% nostalgia, and I hard refuse to ever touch that game again. I'm sure it's terrible compared to my standards for games now. But the memories remain, and that's fine.
I think if you look back at the old Mario Karts and look at the success Lego has had with their Lego movies ... Lego could come out swinging with a pretty cool cart racer if they really put the effort into it.
Lego Indiana Jones as an example could be an updated spin on/foundation for the dinosaur isle.
