    It's got charm to spare and - if you don't mind wrestling with controls that occasionally leave you gritting your teeth - this is a groovy little romp.

    Sure, Toy Home is pretty at times, has a nice leaderboard option and is fun to tear through, but you'll have seen all the eight courses have to offer after your first run.

    It’s cheap, plays well and is a nice little time waster. Unfortunately, it's a forgettable experience that will only occupy you for a few hours.

    Toy Home is a simple and occasionally fun game, at least for the short period it takes to become frustrated with the controls and the lack of substance.

    The Sixaxis presents both a problem and joy for Toy Home. On one hand it’s a hindrance as you’ll never go in a straight line. On the other, successfully boosting and drifting around corners is great fun. [Feb 2008, p.135]

It's kind of a short game even with the expansion but I love it. I wish there was a PS4 version. It kind of reminds me of Toy Commander on the Dreamcast, except it's just cars.… Expand

Yes the SIXAXIS controls take some effort to get used to, but considering the great interactivity with the environment in the game is truly underappreciated. Add in the expansion for the game, and Japan Studios has created a game that will not get the credit it truly deserves.… Expand
