  1. All in all, TOW is a good racing title that at higher difficulty settings, will present a challenge to the more experience cart-race gamer, and at the same time is accessible to the more casual player.
  2. Remember racing RC cars around when you were a kid? Yeah...stick with the memories. [Feb 2009, p.85]

    Nothing about Things on Wheels is very good. The single-player mode is boring, the game looks like it was supposed to come out years ago (which it was), and the attempt at a story is poorly implemented and even more poorly written.
  4. Things On Wheels is too pedestrian to catch on in the demanding Live Marketplace, and too frustrating to be fun. [Feb 2009, p.121]

  1. Aww, this is one of the most pretty games that I play, Things on Wheels can be same that the other games of the genre, but the most special are the graphics and the cars, are beautiful, and the music, is funny, this game is not an epic master, but is incredible and funny. Expand
