  1. Cars: Race-O-Rama offers a lot of fun to everybody – doesn’t matter if you are young or not.
  2. In the end, if you have the other two then this game should make a solid addition to the previous games; however before you spend full price on this game you might want to check the used games bin for one of the two other Cars games that have been released before.
  3. There's certainly no shortage of content in Race-O-Rama, and quite a few of the tracks are truly enjoyable. However, the overworld has had little love put into it, and there are many minor issues and bugs that come together to create a fairly uninspired package.
  4. Cars Race-O-Rama is a half-hearted effort throughout; all the pieces fit together but nothings stands out as particularly noteworthy and every facet of the game seems to be in need of a couple extra layers of polish.
  5. Cars Race O' Rama had some nice new additions, but in the end just wasn't as fun as racing in Lightning McQueen's world should be.
  6. Cars Race-O-Rama tosses a lot of content at you, but it can't disguise that the game isn't very fun to play.

    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.

An excellent main hub world merging the original open world designs of Radiator Springs, Ornament Valley, and Tailfin Pass into one sprawling map to explore. Various fun events, and new customization options that let players make McQueen into nearly whatever they want make this a fun experience. They even added some new and interesting characters, each with their own accompanying area, a pink sports car named Candace in the coastal Santa Carburera, an orange muscle car who goes by Stinger in the city of Motoropolis, and El Machismo, a blue offroad car who thrives on the dirt courses of Autovia. The story, told across fewer cutscenes than previous games, is easy to follow, and very compelling. All things considered, this is the perfect Cars tie-in game for players who like open-world exploration. Full Review »
