Not Really Worth the Money

I would not recommend purchasing this game. But, to be fair about it, I really did not have the patience to really sit down and learn the controls.

I gave it two stars because it was a little fun trying to crash into things and other cars. However, even that got boring after I figured out that they only put in three different phrases for the other cars to say and you can't break any buildings or scenary. It took me awhile to figure out where to go on the screen and it was disappointing when I did.

Once again, I'm going to have to say that this game is not worth the full $50.00. However, I don't believe I would re-purchase it when it comes down to $20.00 (if Wii games ever will).

Only for a VERY young player

This game is NOT for anyone over the age of 8. It is not challening, and has little entertainment value. If you have a little one who really loves the Cars movie, this may be something they enjoy, but for anyone older, NO WAY!

The characters from the movie are really adorable, and they did make this game go along with the movie, however, racing gets old quickly. The mini games are ok, Tipping Tractors is really cute and a little child might get a good laugh out of it.

Don't waste your money on this one unless you have a young Cars fan in your house.

BORiNG!

Not fun at all. Involves a lot of driving around aimlessly. I don't even imagine small children would like it.

Good for small kids

I have two children (both boys) aged 6 and 3 years old. My 6 years old kid loved this game.

Overall the game is pretty simple. Tasks and races can be completed unaided by a small kid, and of course it features a nice variety of characters, places and minigames appealing especially to small kids who enjoyed the movie.

If you have a 5-8 years old kid who loved the movie...you can buy it, and you will certainly enjoy it with your son / daughter. But if your kid is 10-12 or even worst a teenager, perhaps he / she will need a more complex and difficult game to find entertainment. And if you are an adult, just skip it. This game is not for you.

Another important note: This game is pretty much the same than the GameCube version, except for the Wii Controller.

ENJOYABLE

This is a great game. It has cartoony graphics (a Wii staple) and the controls are intuitive. My problem is that the characters come unnecessarily close to saying swear words in the game. "Holy SHoot!" and "Kiss my axle!" aren't really something I want my kids running around saying.

Drive through Radiator Springs

This game is a lot of fun. The various courses you can drive through are both fun and challenging. The two set backs are the game is quite difficult for children to use and the instructions on how to unlock the mini games are poorly written. I bought the same game for the DS. Both titles are equally fun. With the DS, the tractor tipping is a blast as you blow into the DS to tilt the tractors. With the Wii you steer the Wii remote. If you have a child, once they get used to the Wii remote they will enjoy the game too. It will make them feel like they are driving through Radiator Springs. I just entered in a code to unlock all races and mini games. Once you enter in the code, the game goes from good to great. It is so much fun racing through any of the courses in the games,rather than being resticted to what you have unlocked. The graphics are Pixar quality.

In my 4yr old's words, "Lame."

Thought the kids might like this. They did not. Pretty lame in most respects. Punctuates my convictions of the insidious nature in which mass merchandising in the entertainment industry churns out crap like this hoping to capitalize on branding. My kid also has a Cars lunchbox, underwear, remote car, toothbrush, the DVD, and of course - a soon to be Ebay'd Cars game for the Wii. I guess as long as suckers like me keep buying this for their kids, they'll keep making it. I need a tic tac...

Please stop making games based on movies!!!

Publishers like Activision, EA, and THQ are the worst. They use a considerable portion of their money to buy movie licenses, then spend more money on advertisement, and come up with games that are mediocore at best and in many ways a big let down of the predecessor movie.

Yet casual gamers are always known to be attracted to movie based games because they're something they can relate to and understand. The result is that underdeveloped movie based games sell well. The cycle continues with EA spending more and more money on buying licenses.

Cars is a typical movie based game you can find. Gameplay is by all means terrible. Yet it sold over a million copies worldwide because there's a large audience that enjoyed the movie and that makes all of them potential buyers of the game.

I am crossing my finger that those potential buyers of the movie based games soon realize that they're buying overhyped garbage and that there are way more funner games to play, because or else the game industry will continue to produce the same garbage over and over again for easy profit.
