    The game is very fun as a whole, something that anyone could enjoy, The only thing wrong is the loading and memory card saving times are painfully slow.

    Окей. Начну по началу. Игра просто шедевр, оценка в 71 балл незаслуженная. Наиграл я в эту игру на пс2 недолго(т.к вылетала при на первом Piston Cup'е), но на пк наиграл 135 часов. Почему же я пишу рецензию именно тут, на пс2 версии? потому что они идентичны. Ну так вот, начнём с сюжета. Он просто шедевр, честно скажу, проходил игру много раз и сюжет просто шикарен. Графика.

Тут всё не совсем так радужно, но всё же, есть Xbox360 и wii версия, на которых графика очень хороша. Геймплей. Он такой же как и сюжет, Каждая гонка не похожа на ту, в которую ты играл до этого, и это очень меня радует. Вывод. Играйте в тачки и оценка незаслуженно низкая ;3… Expand

    Считаю, что оценка к этой игре очень неоднозначная. Много людей не довольны графикой или физикой, но ведь это игра 2006 года, плюс она расчитана для детей которые зачастую не обращают внимания на такие мелочи

    Cars for the PlayStation 2 is a great video-game for a real video-gamer like me.

    The game is very entertaining and as a whole it's a real fun racing game all around. The mechanics can be a bit confusing sometimes and doesn't have immediately response from the controller in to the game. The free world you can explore, has it's ups and downs. But i would recommend the game to all people who have seen the movie as a child.

    A really fun racing game with an open world identical to that of the movie.

    The racing can be fun, and exploring radiator springs is fun too, but other then that there is not much to do in the game. So if you get the game just stick to racing.

    This game was underrated, it had a lot of great mechanics, a lot of tournaments and different options, and also costumization, also it was like a continuation from the original movie, for me this game is a big part of my childhood, I would love to travel back in time and play it again

    Esta bastante bien! Es hermoso explorar Radiador Springs. Los gráficos son increíbles para el PS2, que parecen de la 3. Es un poco repetitivo, y los minijuegos aburridos, además de que faltan mas personajes y el sistema de derrape y el sistema de acrobacias pudieron ser mejores pero en general es un juego para matar el tiempo.

    Randomly some missions seem to give me more trouble than others, feels like there's a little bit of RNG and the timing is very very tight on some of the missions.

    You can tell that the game was designed for Motion Controls and the Nintendo Wii is likely the best way to experience this game.    … Expand

    Pretty decent game especially for 2006 gets quite repetitive after a while but there’s quite a big variety of different types of races.

    One of the best games ever made.
    World map is identical to Radiator Springs in the movie, and I love how they expanded on the Tailfin Pass and Ornament Valley areas that we rarely ever see.
    The races are fun, great driving mechanics, voice acting is amazing, the introduced characters are all great, and Lizzie's Postcard Hunt is one of the best parts of the game, allowing you to explore    One of the best games ever made.

    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.

    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]

    Cars really becomes a balancing act in the end, and it will be up to the individual players to decide if the sum is greater or weaker than its parts. It’s definitely worth a rental for fans of the movie, though we’d strongly encourage people to weigh their possibilities before dropping the full purchase amount.
