    Cars is not the most complex racing game around, but it manages to capture the Pixar spirit very well. Aside from this, it’s an enjoyable game with solid gameplay and a great presentation.
  2. Game Chronicles

    Cars is quite simply one of the best movie-to-game conversions in the history of the sketchy genre.
  3. TeamXbox

    Licensed audio tracks ands voice acting from the movie makes the audio worth listening to.

    If you happened to have purchased or rented Cars in any of its previous incarnations, your first question is going to be "should I care about this version?" Most likely not.

    If you've already played the Xbox version there is absolutely no reason to play this version other than to add gamerpoints to your pile.

    It was a cute but unimaginative game for pre-teens when it debuted for the original Xbox this summer, and this 360 version of Pixar's animated movie Cars is essentially a high-resolution copycat. [Holiday 2006, p.76]

    Painfully lacking in every area, lacking any thrill factor, excitement or variety. [Jan 2007, p.90]

    6 for kids, but 2 for adults. I got it for my kids but decided to play it to get the 1000 gamescore (yeah I know, cheap gamescore). The 6 for kids, but 2 for adults. I got it for my kids but decided to play it to get the 1000 gamescore (yeah I know, cheap gamescore). The driving was easy (as you would expect from a kids game) but a little boring. Finding postcards was fun, but without a guide to where they were a kid would never find all of them. Graphics were good and using the original voice actors was a nice touch. My main criticism was that you were not always sure where you were meant to go to get your next mission even with the map turned on. By the time I got my 1000 gamescore I was well and truly over it, but for kids the appeal might be more lasting.… Expand
