    While the graphics and sound won't be winning any awards, their strong, primary colors and simple but clean approach come across with a Hello Kitty feel that wraps everything up perfectly for the style.

    Warts and all, the game has got more than enough depth in its customization to keep fans busy for quite a while.

    I absolutely love the off-the-wall concept...The only thing that truly hold this title back is the racing. It's just way too slow and clunky. [Oct 2004, p.136]

    A game about toy-car-racing with a unique although not spectacular racing system that chooses to imbed this racing, like an egg, inside a pretty bland and lifeless RPG that features toy cars that yell at you for coming into their house. It's not for everybody.

    The racing action can be a kick, but it just doesn't compare to other racers -- gameplay or presentation-wise -- available for the system. The accent on racing also takes away from the story-driven RPG elements that made Road Trip so unique.

    There are glitches in the graphics and an AI that goes from passive to cutthroat in a hurry. If you are looking for a racing game, there are better ones on the market. If you are looking for a game that has charm and some RPG elements, this may be worth a look.

    Choro Q stutters at the starting grid with its most obvious flaw, the game play just is not riveting. As mentioned before it is the sense of speed that kills the game.

    A surprisingly deep and satisfying ride, made all the more appealing by its $19.99 price tag. [Nov 2004, p.136]

    For me, it became much more enjoyable as something to pick up and play for five or 10 minutes at a time rather than for prolonged sessions, but this is somewhat contrary to the way it's designed. [Nov 2004, p.130]

    It ain't horrible, but the racing is thin and stalls well before the finish line. [Dec 2004, p.92]

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. This is just pure nostalgia. It obviously isn’t the best driving/racing game, but I still managed to have a lot of fun with it… Full Review »

    I haven't played any of the other ChoroQ games but I bought this one a while back and I genuinely enjoy it. The dialogue is a bit corny butI haven't played any of the other ChoroQ games but I bought this one a while back and I genuinely enjoy it. The dialogue is a bit corny but the story mode is quite interesting and enjoyable and because of this, I have returned to it on multiple occasions. It may not be the world's best game but it is fun and challenging that will keep you occupied for quite a while. Give it a go, I promise you won't be disappointed.… Full Review »
