  1. While still quite playable for several hours, the lack of true innovation or noteworthy upgrades makes Mater-National seem like more of a rushed expansion than a full-fledged - or fully necessary - follow-up to a memorable kid-friendly racer.

    Not half as crap as many would have you believe, this'd make a top pressie for the little 'un. [Feb 2008, p.78]
  3. At times it’s charming, but for the most part, it was just aggravating to experience such monotony.

  5. If you're old, knock two points off. This game will leave you feeling hollow, miserable and longing for the days when it all MEANT something. If you're a small child add two points. Or, if you really REALLY like talking cars, six.
