Take on the role of a bounty hunter careening around a stylish cartoon world on the hunt for criminals on the loose.

    Calling All Cars is to the PS3 what "Hexic HD" was to the Xbox 360. [July 2007, p.68]

    This is a game that may seem simple, but is one of those “tough to master” titles that packs in the fun, particularly in multiplayer sessions.

    Perhaps the only disappointment that comes with Calling All Cars! is the lack of content. With only basic offerings online and offline, it feels sort of empty.

    And even though CAC is enjoyable in single-player and online multiplayer, it really is one of those games that shine when it's you and your buddies sitting on the same couch and playing on the same TV...And yelling. And throwing elbows.

    Addictive and perfect for generating some bitter competition. [Aug 2007, p.85]

    A diminutive price tag doesn't make the strange dearth of meaningful map and weapon selections any more palatable. Worth the cash for its frenetic pace if you've got friends lined up to play, but more disposable than memorable.

    Granted the game looks and sounds great, but it has no substance to it.

    It's super fun. I agree with most of the reviews though in that more content would be nice.

    Great fun game to play with friends in short bursts. Although is seems to be too chaotic for some of my friends, I did not have that problemGreat fun game to play with friends in short bursts. Although is seems to be too chaotic for some of my friends, I did not have that problem and like it a lot. Biggest downside is the price (I believe it was 15$ in the beginning), the lack off levels (only 4 off them) and you won't be playing this for months and months. It's a game that very fun to play for weeks/months (depending on how much you play it) and when I got tired off it I never picking it up again. So for less then $5 I recommend it greatly.… Expand

    It's fun for a while as a single player, but the game is much better when played with others.
