On paper, this game shouldn't work. The graphics are poor, the sound is annoying (but it has a strange charm) and the controls are fiddly.
I saw this about 6 months ago in a shop for a tenner and was looking for a laugh with a mate, so I bought it and haven't regretted it.
The attitude of the people (who are actually cars) in this game is fantastic. Everything is so "nice". The premise is that the President can't be bothered to be president anymore, and wants to give it to the person who wins the grand prix. Which everyone's OK with. At one point, a car asks you how to get rid of crows, buy a dog or some crow food. I said 'buy a dog' and apparently rather than scaring/killing/otherwise maiming the birds (as I expected) it made friends with them and asked them to stop eating the crops.
The RPG element of the game is passable, the racing element is OK but there are some excellent touches that make this game so good. You can sell advertising space on your car (You can advertise Cake. Not a shop, just cake. Which amused me). Some of the mini-games are excellent, and at one point you're just given a city. As you do.
As a game, there are better out there, but as a piece of light entertainment they don't get much lighter or more entertaining. Does the job, above and beyond what you'd expect, and you can play it with your kids.

This has to be one of the best driving games available at the moment and at under £10 is definitely excellent value for money.
In single player mode it has 150 'real world' cars in Penny Racer form which can be modded with paint & parts, there is street & circuit racing in one-off and league modes, there are many puzzles to solve & loads of mini-games to play including soccer, golf & fishing, all this as well as a fairly lengthy adventure story to complete.
This game also boasts a split screen 2 player option allowing you to race on the circuits from the single player game against a friend.
As you travel all over the very large and fairly detailed world you meet with other cars in and around the different cities and get to create a racing team to compete in the different racing events.
Overall it's very cartoony in its look & feel which will appeal to gamers of all ages and certainly has more than enough gameplay to keep most people coming back for a long time even after you've completed the adventure story as most of the included mini-games are great fun to play time and again.
The only serious negatives to come from this game are that the sound effects are pretty basic and that the cars handling can be a bit tricky when it's been fully modded with a tendency to fly away when you hit even the smallest bump at high speeds.

I bought this game after reading about it in a review. The review only gave it 6/10, but the description intrigued me, so I thought it'd be worth the tenner. I wasn't wrong.
Alright, so the graphics look like they'd be more at home on the PS1, and the sound effects can get a little irritating, but the gameplay is golden. The basic aim of the game is to soup up your car enough to reach, race, and defeat the President, but like most RPGs there are dozens of sidequests to keep you entertained - some involve collecting items, some involve racing other cars, one even involves playing football.
The other aspect of the game is racing. Racing takes place in different locations at different levels of difficulty, and while it might not quite be Burnout or GT4 it's still fun. Winning races gets you cash, which you can use to upgrade your car in various ways; from better steering and tyres to a rocket booster and wings. You'll eventually build up a team as well, helping you bring in even more money.
So, if you're looking for a game but you don't want to shell out £30, I'd definitely recommend it.
