The game has a balance of both decent and not-so-great content. Spy missions are just not fun, while the racing is only decent. ...If you are looking for a taste of the Cars universe than by all means go pick up this game, but if you are solely looking for a racing game, it might be best to look elsewhere.

- 7.0If you want a genuinely ambitious video game based on a movie license, check out Toy Story 3. If, however, you or a family member really loves Lightning McQueen and the movie's cast of characters, this simple but fun arcade racer won't disappoint
- 7.5Its racing isn't up to the standard of last year's Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing, but where that game disappointed with local multiplayer game types like king of the hill and capture the chao, Cars 2 delivers with the likes of hunter and disruptor
- 8.0Cars 2 is a great multiplayer game that rivals Mario Kart. Playing alone isn’t quite as fun, but it’s still a solid solo experience. The fact that there’s little story doesn’t really matter because you won’t miss it, and don’t let the license scare you off. Under all the Pixar beauty is an extremely fun game
- At the end of the day, however, Cars 2: The Video Game is a satisfying racing game with a reserve tank of charm. And if multiplayer is your thing, the entire game can be played via a four-way split screen. Chances are, if you have younger gamers in your household, you’ll have a few eager challengers in no time flat.
- 7.0All things considered, Cars 2: The Video Game caught me off guard. I hadn't expected it to be as good as it was, but after that initial shock wore off I found myself wanting just a little bit more. Still, for those younger players the developer no doubt had in mind, what's here will certainly provide a lot of entertainment
