About

2K Drive is a racing video game developed by Lucid Games and published by 2K for iOS on September 5, 2013. Lucid Games had previously worked on the Project Gotham Racing series before working on 2K Drive. A Lego-themed spin-off of the game was released almost ten years later, which was titled Lego 2K Drive.

Christoph Hartmann, 2K's president at the time, stated that "2K Drive was designed to offer the most comprehensive driving simulation experience in today's [2013's] mobile market."

Gameplay

2K Drive offers players a variety of gameplay modes and features. The game combines realistic physics with intuitive touch controls, allowing players to navigate through different environments and race against computer opponents or other players in multiplayer mode.

Players can choose from a selection of licensed vehicles from renowned manufacturers, which include a 2012 Ford Mustang, and a Ford GT, each with unique attributes and customization options. The game features a diverse range of tracks inspired by real-world locations, including cities, countryside, and iconic racing circuits. With stunning graphics and detailed car models, 2K Drive strives to provide a visually appealing and engaging racing experience.

Reception

The game received "mixed or average" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.

TouchArcade rated the game 4/5 stars. Also stated that "Despite having to wade through some arguably murky IAP waters, 2K Drive is a ton of fun. It would have been a much stronger experience if it was just a premium game out of the gate, but despite a ton of confusion as to how you're supposed to actually unlock all the content, racing fans will most likely enjoy it."
