I tend to get (very) dizzy when my son (who is 6 yrs old) plays the racing games. Maybe bec of too much cruis'n and he plays the game on big screen hdtv. I always check my son if he gets dizzy and he tells me he doesn't. Maybe bec older people cannot endure high speed motion :-)
simple fun

I bought this for my kids. Not an intense game, by any stretch of the imagination, but entertaining and interactive. More so, in my opinion, than most of the "standard" wii games out there. Lots of fun and easy to play!
My 4-yr-old LOVES this game!

My 4-yr-old LOVES this game! He loves driving around Radiator Springs, and has really gotten into the races too. He loves jumping up high in the air with the remote to make his car fly (I've actually seen him put his car through the top of a tree!). He chooses a different paint job for each of the cars so it is like racing a new car each time.
I think he would play this for hours at a time if we let him. Great game for young kids who love the movie Cars and driving really fast.
Great for kids

This is a great game for kids. Can be a little challenging to get the coordination down for steering, but the objective isn't too complicated and they have fun driving their favorite "Cars."
It's just OK

The Cars wii game is just OK. It's nothing spectacular. For the age range I think Cars targets, it's not totally appropriate. The controller has to be handled just right so the cars stay on the track, the instructions are a bit jumbled and the games are just so so. My son thinks it's the bomb!!! However, he gets easily frustrated with this game, especially when the cars run off the track and he cannot get them back on.
Great for first time gamers (5-8 years)

"Cars" was probably one of our first games. Its one of those games where you can stick your kids in front of it and leave them for 10 minutes without the need of being afraid that somebody gets hurt. Its completely violence free and when you crash into something all that happens is that your car slows down and you hear a bump or some funny remarks, nobody is hurt, no screaming no explosions etc.
The characters are lovely animated Disney cartoons which every now and then make some funny remarks while you drive.
You can actually go off-road and collect miles points (or whatever those gasoline marks are ;-), but watch out if you go to far you might end up in a dead end.
This is the perfect game for first time gamers or for an occasionally friendly match with your best friend.
Serious gamers would probably want to look for the next car racing game as this one might now offer to much thrill-factor when cars that are supposed to run 160 miles seem more like 80 miles, but for first time usage its perfect.
4 Stars for 5-8 year old children, 2-3 stars for more serious gamers.
Great game for fans of the movie!

My kids love the movie so the game is so exciting for them. The Wii Remote steering and the freedom to drive all over town freely, make the game great for young kids (3-5). The game is also deep enough for older kids and fun for adults alike. The racing games are really great! At $20 this game is a steal. So if you like the movie, get the game.
Cars Great Wii Game

We've been playing this game for several months and if you liked the movie, you will like the game.
I'm a big Pixar fan, but not really a fan of this game

I purchased this game on a whim as it was "free" due to a Costco gift card I had received. I wish I had spent the money on some Salmon or maybe a box of candy. The characters and landscape are modeled/rendered well enough but I have not really been able to get into the story. I find the various levels of tasks overly repetitive i.e. tip more tractors over or find more piles of tires. The racing and drifting is fun, but I prefer something like Excite Truck over this for are pure driving/racing game.
Great game for kids and beginners

This game is based on the Cars movie with original voices from the actors in the movie. Playing it with the wiimote (intuitive) makes it a lot of fun. This is basically a fun game for kids and beginners playing driving games. You have to start playing in the story mode and as you complete races (dont have to win), you will get access to more and more activities/mini games.
There are two modes one for adults and one for kids, but experienced driving game players will not find the adult version challenging. Go for it if you have kids or a fan of the Cars movie. You can get it for $20 at Amazon market place and game is not worth paying more than that.
