  1. The flimsy core betrays a bevy of neat ideas nabbed straight from the film. [Aug 2008, p.63]

    It is fun ripping around in two player mode trying to trash or out pace each other in your favorite ride, which is probably the best time to be had in the game. However, all this can't really justify putting up with the horrible AI ramblings, poor graphics and awkward controls that make this game so frustrating and monotonous at times.

The one bad thing that stopsThis is a super fun racing game full of action and speed. Lost of characters/cars and creative track to race on. The one bad thing that stops this game from getting 10 points is it's forced motion controls (which eventually you'll get a hang on) and the lack of rear view camera!! Not being able to see if you have anyone close behind you is definitely bad. Full Review »
