 Pretty Good. July 15, 2006

On the box this games states that it is for ages 4+. Unless you have a child that plays video or computer games constantly, ages 6 and up would be more appropriate.
This game consists of 10 activities, each associated with a different car. Completing the activity unlocks the race secret for that partiuclar car. This allows McQueen to beat that car in the race.
The activites are cute, but require less problem solving and more hand-eye coordination. None of the activites are particularly educational, but it is still fun. Unfortunately, the way the game is set up requires the player to complete all 5 levels for each activity in order to get the secret. Many of the level 4's and 5's are too hard for kids this age (unless they play nintendo or xbox all the time) and so you have to help your kids through them. My son, who just turned 6, loves the game, but he needs help with the higher levels on some of the activites as they require quick memorization (Ramone's dancing moves), or good hand eye coordiation (Speed trap).
It would be nice if they had a "setting" for younger vs. older kids (younger kids could win after 3 levels), but otherwise it is still a great game. If you are looking for some pure fun and not a lot of educational value, then this is worth it. If you want an educational component, then you will be disappointed.

This is my son's favorite PC game, at this moment! The levels are ideal for him: several activities he started playing on his own, others he needed some help, and can progress into with time. The graphics and sounds are wonderful and characteristic of the movie. We bought the game before seeing the movie and was surprised by its likeness. It's not educational, but very entertaining. (If you want educational, try the Leapster version)
The game consists of 10 activities where you try to out do your last score to unlock secrets that help McQueen in the Legends Race. The Legends Race is drag races between McQueen and 9 Radiator Springs opponents. The final showdown is with Chick Hicks.
My son's favorite activity is Tractor Roundup where McQueen and Mater tip the tractors. My favorite (yes, I enjoy this game too!) is Speed Trap is where the Sheriff chases the troublemaking pranksters while avoiding oil slicks, boulders and other hazards.
Since I can't compare it to the other Cars game, I'm giving this version a 5 star rating.

My 6 year-old loves this. Looks great. Fun, challenging games.
HINT: Play slow the first time. Unlocking other items depends on beating your original times.
My 6 year old would give it 5 stars June 21, 2006

It is a cute game.
He says he loves it and it is fun.
He really enjoys playing it, but he does need help getting through all 5 levels to win his "secrets".
It is a pretty simple and easy layout- definately only for kids to enjoy more then an hour.
