Cars Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Cars is a storyline-centered racing game based on the Disney movie of the same name.It features the characters from the movie, some new characters, and many scenes those who have watched the movie will be familiar with (such as the infamous tractor-tipping scene).

Audience: This game is rated 'E' for everyone but will probably not have much entertainment value for adults or older children.My 4 year old loves the game and can play it by himself, but he spends most of his time driving around Radiator Springs and not actually doing any of the minigames/challenges.

Graphics: The graphics are Wii-quality, meaning not pristine or as good as graphics on a PC or Xbox 360.Considering the young target audience, however, I don't see this as much of a problem.

Gameplay: There are several individual races, courses with objectives, and separate challenges (such as finding postcards for Lizzie) scattered throughout the game.While the challenge isn't there for older kids or adults I can see how it would be entertaining for younger ones.Younger children (like my son) can drive around Radiator Springs without needing to worry about winning a race or anything like that.

Control:The Wii remote is turned sideways.You steer the car by tilting the remote (much like Excite Truck) and use a couple of the buttons for gas and brakes.Nothing too special here, and to be honest I see no reason why the Gamecube version would not suffice (unless you REALLY want to steer by tilting the remote).

Storyline: Hey, it's a movie-based video game.Most of the storyline is based on characters making cameos and on corny little events that happen that don't really fit into the movie but kind of relate to it.

Overall impression:I rented this game.I've considered buying it for my son but have not done so yet and would not even consider it if it carried the typical Wii title price tag.I definitely don't recommend this game for anyone over the age of about 10, and even then think that other racing games (like Excite Truck) might be more adequately suited.The main reason to own this game, sadly, is the Cars franchise itself.
