A new and improved Lightning McQueenIn Cars Race-O-Rama, players join Lightning McQueen and Chick Hicks in Radiator Springs as they prepare their academy of student racers to compete in the Race-O-Rama Exhibition. Players encounter 12 new playable characters making their video game debut. A new and improved Lightning McQueen comes fully equipped with special racing kits, allowing him to better maneuver brand new, action-packed tracks that takes players to metro city streets, the Baja desert and sandy beaches. In addition, players are now able to modify Lightning McQueen’s wheels, rims, hood, side skirt, rear bumper, spoiler and paint with special customization features, giving Lightning a personalized style and look that has never been seen before.

    Racing game of the year? Definitely not. A decent effort that will entertain kids and tide fans of the movie and original game over until Cars 2? Definitely.

    Cars Race-o-Rama isn't the right game for adults. But thanks to the fun mini games you will possibly find yourself fighting with the kids for the gamepad. Who does gain more points drifting around and who is the better stuntman? Find out.

    Cars is back and this new game is specifically for the youngest gamers. You can drive to Radiator Springs and do a lot of different racing challenges. The gameplay and audio are fine, but graphically it could have been better. This game is perfect for the little gamers.

    It is the very definition of an average game, and does nothing to pay homage to the original movie, merely taking up six times the shelf space it should and damning any of the current platforms to yet another throwaway licensed game that simply wasn't needed.
  5. PSX Extreme

    Cars Race-O-Rama takes a good concept and fails to implement it properly. The idea comes up well short due to erratic and somewhat unreliable physics, an overly bland atmosphere, a sense of definite repetitiveness, and a lack of mechanical upgrades that could’ve made the experience richer.

The racetracks are just like in a normal racing game like Gran Turismo. Uninteresting and boring to look at tracks. I could’nt even tell some of them apart! There was one track that is just literally just an oval. I recommend it to little kids and hardcore cars fans.… Expand

    - some questionable controls.
    - rubberbanding, shouldn't exist in racing games. Not for young or old audiences. Just make a descent AI.
    - Guido's kart races are broken because of above reason and somehow the handling is all over the place for these races. (- Guido doesn't have his Italian voice-over :p)    … Expand
