    A bad kart racer in every sense of the word. The track design is poor, the game feels slow and, worst of all, the controls are terrible.

    This game is so bad its suckiness doesn’t reveal itself slowly, but rather right away. It’s likely you won’t get halfway through your first race before the boredom sets in.

    This derivative kart racer is no fun for the entire family.

    The game engine in Cartoon Network Racing is too flawed to make any aspect of the game fun, and even the unlockable cartoons aren't quality material.

    Despite all the A.I. cheating going on, sluggish control and the "been there, done that" track selection Cartoon Network Racing is actually fun. Just remember that little Timmy likes it and maybe...just maybe some of his innocence will rub off.

    Cartoon Network Racing doesn’t do anything special. It doesn’t contain any hidden hooks, nor does it fulfill the promise of bringing the excitement of a CN series to the video-game world.

    I was completely disappointed. It tries to be exactly like Mario Kart, but it doesn’t even come close to that level of enjoyment. This genre does not need any more lame imitators. It needs innovators.

    Kids will probably love it too, as well as some adults that enjoy Cartoon Networks shows and characters.

    Don’t quote me on this, but putting this game in your system may actually make all of your other games less fun. There is simply not an ounce of joy in this product, and I can’t recommend it to anyone, at all, ever.

    There’s no denying that the game lacks variety, speed or, on the most basic level, well thought out gameplay.

    The many, varied game modes will keep you and your friends busy for a long time, while trying to unlock every last cartoon episode is an excellent incentive to complete the whole game.

    I still remember how AWESOME this game is as an adult now. More people need to do reviews on here so these Gems get justice. This is very fun,I still remember how AWESOME this game is as an adult now. More people need to do reviews on here so these Gems get justice. This is very fun, funny and has great courses and weapons. My favorite is being Courage the cowardly dog and his owners Muriel and Eustace! Being the powerpuff girls too is fun. I love all of the characters and tracks. Please bring on a Reboot and sequel! A+++++… Full Review »
