Advantages: Has Lightning McQueen

Disadvantages: Race selection menu cute, but hard for kids to use

My kids really loved this game, but they'd love anything with Lightning McQueen on it. They needed a lot of help to play it, though - the main menu, to select races, is done in the form of Radiator Springs.

This is a really cute idea, but unfortunately, if you're 6, it just makes life hard. My older boy spent a *lot* of time just driving around, frustrated and annoyed, trying to find a race to have. I don't think I really got the hang of navigating the town, either, to be fair, but I was less interested than he was.

The racing itself is nicely done, and my kids really loved it. I don't think they'd play it for that long though - I think this is one to rent, not buy.

It's frustrating how much smaller kids want to play video games like this, but the games really aren't set up for their age.

Summary: One to rent, not to buy
