If you can have only one racing game on the DS, get Mario Kart DS. However, after that, you’d do well to check out Pixar’s Cars: Mater-National Championship.
-
Mater-National features more of everything: more tracks and more opponents. It is a great game for kids and one of the best racing games on the Nintendo DS.
-
THQ had an opportunity to cash in on an expensive license with a barely-there effort, but instead decided to spend the time and resources necessary to build a racing game that offers lots of fun for kids and fans of the movie.
-
It's definitely a better decision to get Cars Mater-National over the DS prequel, but, unless the recipient is in the elementary school age bracket, it's still not recommended.

n-Revolution Magazine UKIf you fancy a bit of no-frills drifting action, this is a safe bet. [Issue#17, p.92]
-
The game will be far too easy for all but the youngest set of players, making it hard to recommend for anyone but really young fans of the film.
-
It cannot be compared (favorably) to the console versions, but it's the only iteration of Mater-National that improves upon its predecessor, and is not a bad option for race-loving tykes this holiday season.

[Anonymous]Jan 22, 2008This game was terrible due to the hard to manage cars and boring tracks. Stay away from it if you can.
