  7.0

  Whichever version you play, Cars is a likable little racing adventure. The gameplay is nothing outstanding, but it's fun enough while it lasts, and overall it looks pretty slick. If you've seen the movie and long to explore Radiator Springs for yourself, this is worth checking out.

  7.0

  However, it can't quite make up for the amount of time that's passed since the older console versions of Cars came out, and the higher price tag of $49.99 at retail. If you skipped out on the game back in June, have a young Pixar fan at home, and an Xbox 360, the game is still a good one. But you might be better off grabbing one of the other versions, since the changes made here are so negligible.

  6.0

  The racing is by no means terrible, and will serve its purpose for those interested in a Cars video game, but had that aspect been nailed, the whole experience would have been elevated a notch or two. Still, with a two-player mode to dabble with and a number of bonus features to look at once the main game is completed, kids wanting a fun game to while away their summer holiday could do a lot worse.

  6.8

  On one hand you have an above-average licensed game developed by a strong team that will deliver the movie feel just as it should. On the opposing side, Cars constantly drifts between being a ton of fun and a list of complaints, as the high points will undoubtedly be accompanied by numerous gripes down the road. If you’re looking for a game to team with the movie, Cars is a success. If you’re looking only for a solid racer that’s kid-friendly, you may want to look elsewhere.

  If you attempt to unlock everything in this game you can expect it to last about 15 hours or so. The average gamer will probably get five to eight hours out of it before they've seen most of it and start to get bored. I would definitely recommend renting this for a weekend before committing to a purchase.

  5.5

  L'adaptation de Cars n'aurait pu être qu'un simple jeu de courses sans grand intérêt, vite programmé, vite bâclé. Heureusement, il n'en est rien et bien que le titre de Rainbow Studios s'embourbe parfois dans une trop grande répétition ou un manque de dynamisme, on saluera la volonté des développeurs de proposer un GTA-like pour les bambinos.
