 A good game for the right demographic May 31, 2007
By bixodoido
Cars is a storyline-centered racing game based on the Disney movie of the same name. It features the characters from the movie, some new characters, and many scenes those who have watched the movie will be familiar with (such as the infamous tractor-tipping scene).
Audience: This game is rated 'E' for everyone but will probably not have much entertainment value for adults or older children. My 4 year old loves the game and can play it by himself, but he spends most of his time driving around Radiator Springs and not actually doing any of the minigames/challenges.
Graphics: The graphics are Wii-quality, meaning not pristine or as good as graphics on a PC or Xbox 360. Considering the young target audience, however, I don't see this as much of a problem.
Gameplay: There are several individual races, courses with objectives, and separate challenges (such as finding postcards for Lizzie) scattered throughout the game. While the challenge isn't there for older kids or adults I can see how it would be entertaining for younger ones. Younger children (like my son) can drive around Radiator Springs without needing to worry about winning a race or anything like that.
Control: The Wii remote is turned sideways. You steer the car by tilting the remote (much like Excite Truck) and use a couple of the buttons for gas and brakes. Nothing too special here, and to be honest I see no reason why the Gamecube version would not suffice (unless you REALLY want to steer by tilting the remote).
Storyline: Hey, it's a movie-based video game. Most of the storyline is based on characters making cameos and on corny little events that happen that don't really fit into the movie but kind of relate to it.
Overall impression: I rented this game. I've considered buying it for my son but have not done so yet and would not even consider it if it carried the typical Wii title price tag. I definitely don't recommend this game for anyone over the age of about 10, and even then think that other racing games (like Excite Truck) might be more adequately suited. The main reason to own this game, sadly, is the Cars franchise itself.

Good for small kids Dec 26, 2006
By E. M. Vega

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.

 Fun, but not for everyone Jan 24, 2007
By maxGamer
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.

Only for a VERY young player Dec 15, 2006
By Kspen
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.

 Great game for fans of the movie! Oct 18, 2007
By DannyC
"Danny"
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.
