Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review:

In a nutshell:
Few kids films can be as well suited to video game immortalisation as Cars and just for once a movie license-in hasn’t just been used for a cheap cash-in. Think Ridge Racer, Jr. and there’s plenty to enjoy here for both adults and children.

The lowdown:
When you’ve got a movie populated solely by talking cars it at least means there’s no need to turn the game into yet another third person platformer. Instead you take the role of stock car Lightning McQueen in what is actually a sequel to the movie’s plot, as he works his way up the racing leagues. Whether there’s someone driving Lightning or not he still handles like any other arcade racer, complete with a handy powerslide. The artificial intelligence of the other cars can seem a bit too willing to let you win in the early stages but there are separate kids and adults modes to ensure all ages get a decent challenge.

Most exciting moment:
Although it’s not quite Grand Theft Auto the game features a surprisingly large game world for you to explore, with wide open canyons and towns filled with tons of side quests and mini-games to ignore or enjoy as you please.

Since you ask:
Almost the entire voicecast of the movie reprise their roles, recording original dialogue just for the game. This includes Owen Wilson and, in his first ever role in a video game, the legendary Paul Newman.

The bottom line:
One of the best movie tie-ins for a while and a decent little racer.
HARRISON DENT

3.0 out of 5 stars CARS - too slow!, 18 Aug 2006
By Ms. V. Phipps "GBA & XBox Mother!" (Bath UK) - See all my reviews

Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
My son, Jake, found this game was a bit too easy (he's 10yrs old). The graphics were good but only featured races which got a bit boring, although there were different maps/levels. The races were either time trials or against other cars. He was disappointed that there are only 4 cars that he could choose to be. Overall he says it's OK for younger children but too easy and boring for his age group.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good game but too short!, 9 Jan 2007
By J. Williams - See all my reviews

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
The game is quite good gameplay and has very good graphics for a gameboy advance game...the arrows telling you where to go aren't that annoying and its quite good fun BUT... there's only a about 20 levels which really isn't that many considering there mainly races against the clock. There are only 4 different cars which is a bit annoying but you can change their colour but again would be nice to see a bit more. It would also be nice to see a multiplayer mode but sadly there isn't. Overall I would say its a quite good game but don't complete it too quickly! Because I completed it in a day!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good but could be better, 18 May 2009
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
I think this game is good for young kids.

I personally finished this game in a day, probably in about 3 hours probably less.

Of course it's not as good as the playstation 2 version of the game, the Gameboy Advance is only small. It was OK but it really doesn't take long to complete if you are someone that has played a lot of games that are much more challenging, and likes a game that goes on forever or a long time anyway. So it is more for younger children really, I'd say 7-10 years-old maybe slightly older. Would i recommend it? Yes but only to a kid.
