    Not the worst NDS game, but not the best either. Some minigames are pretty frustrating or boring.

    The actual race that ties the mini-games together is absolutely terrible, and easily the biggest stigma.

    There's no real story to hold any of this together, so in the end, Cars for the DS amounts to nothing more than some disjointed mini-games that are either too drab or too long to warrant unnecessary replays.
  3. Compared to so many other movie-inspired games, Cars for the Nintendo DS is genuinely one of the more interesting ones. The care that went into each of the different minigames is impressive. Unfortunately, there just aren't enough of them here to hold a person's attention for very long.
