    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.

    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.

    Animations are good, the music can be nostalgic but gets repetitive pretty quickly, gameplay is very simple and easy to cheese.

    The open world could have been interesting, but past the main strip, the rest of the world is extremely lacking in design & visual

    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.

    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.
