    This is a real racer, and a really big racer developed by the reigning kings of the kind, Rainbow Studios, who worked closely with Pixar and all of the celebrity talent from the film...to create a companion game as high-performance as the movies it's based on. [July 2006, p.70]

    It's kind of like a junior sandbox approach that younger gamers will enjoy because they can just trundle around without crashing or waiting for loads and older kids will love because it allows them to explore a large area and find characters and items that they'll recognize from the movie.

    Although by no means perfect, Cars certainly raises the bar, and hopefully the public's expectations of what a video game tie-in should be. For this more than anything, Rainbow Studios should be applauded.

    If you have younger ones that liked the movie, or Pixar movies (even if they haven't seen the film), then Cars is probably a good and pretty safe purchase option which will keep them (and you) amused for a while.

    It's not stunning, but is a worthwhile bonus for any little fans of the film. [Oct 2006, p.97]

    Younger racers won’t really care too much about the auto-reset and lack of sliding all that much and should be engrossed in the unfolding storyline.

    It also has a 2007 spinoff to that game but limited open-world maps.    … Full Review »
