4 out of 5 stars Distinctive game for DS   October 16, 2008
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

I had a lot of fun with this game, doing the challenges and finding all the items around the courses.
I have now passd it on to my grandson, who is enjoying it likewise.

Not sure about the diferences between this version and other consol version; I was disappointed by the difference between Cars on DS and Wii/PS2, so am reluctant to read-across from other consols.

Have not tried the multi-player mode.



5 out of 5 stars Perfect game for any fan of the movie CARS!   September 1, 2008

What a fun game! Here's your chance to race all around Radiator Springs as all your favorite CARS characters. As you advance in the story you are rewarded with more CARS cars to choose from as well as the ability to customize the paint job on some of them. This game is fun both played alone or with friends. Great game for the whole family to play! Buy this game, put in the DS and "Git-R-Done"!


4 out of 5 stars NOTHING NEW OR INVENTIVE, BUT IT'S FUN 7.5 OUT OF 10   December 30, 2007
 3 out of 13 found this review helpful

Generally, these days I hate the animated movies that come out mostly over the fact they suck really bad, and their games don't do much to redeem the crap that was the movie they're based on. I've never seen Cars, but I don't want to because I'm afraid Disney has diseased Pixar and that their new movies might suck. This game was actually pretty fun, but unfortunately it's nothing new or creative, and it will never make me forget Mario Kart and my times with the franchise. I played this game after a friend couldn't do much to get new tracks by winning because he was always losing. So he gave me his DS and this game to see if I could beat him and do better. Turns out the game was actually simple for me and I really had no trouble unlocking the tracks and completing the other challenges (This is what you gain when you play Mario Kart for years). This game is perfect for kids, and it really isn't too hard for them either along with adults who don't know much about playing games. The graphics look nice for a DS game even though it looks kinda like a PSone or N64 game. The controls function properly and work how they should, the race tracks are actually interesting and I never really got bored looking at them, this game has a decent selection of vehicles (a.k.a the characters) to choose from, and the game has a high replay value to it. I was surprised I liked this kids game aside from retro Nintendo games and last year's Over the Hedge game, and it has proven itself to me and I am considering buying both Cars games for my 360 because I was satisfied enough with the experience. If you're looking for a good kids game this is perfect along with Over the Hedge because they are both actually fun to play for kids and adults.

My girls love it! They play for hours and laugh the whole time. They even race against my husband.


5 out of 5 stars Just as good as Mario Kart   December 13, 2007

My 7 yr old is loving this game, it was given to him as a Bday gift. He's having just as much fun with this game as the Mario Kart. You seem to have to do more in this game, to get other cars.
