10 Video Games That WANT You To Cheat

10. Use Shortcuts Or Lose - Lego Racers

The name Lego Racers should be pretty self-explanatory. It's a game where you build your own Lego car and then go up against other yellow plastic racers. The game is obviously targeted at children, but the thing is, even as an adult, winning the Legoland tournament without cheating is nigh impossible.

Each track in the game contains one or several secret shortcuts that allow the player to skip large chunks of the map. It's a really efficient way of getting ahead in a race, as only the player can use them, and they tend to contain bonus weapons for you to pick up at the exit. Using them is also the only viable strategy when going up against the game's final boss.

Called Rocket Racer, the champion of the tournament is a slick space-themed driver that relies on speed and wormholes to get to first place. He will usually get way ahead of other racers within the first few seconds of the race, so your only chance of closing the gap is to use the map's shortcut and a few wormhole bricks.

After all, the developers made those shortcuts for a reason.
