Cars 2: The Video Game Review

Introduction
Okay, I admit it right now. I played the Cars 2 game. I saw the original movie by Disney and Pixar. It was okay. I have not seen the new movie yet, and probably never will, but I have played the game. And I am reviewing it right now. I am warning you now, before you shut me out because I am reviewing a game meant for children based on a movie license, and I may actually like it. Don't say I never warned you. Cars 2: The Video Game is a racing game loosely based on the new movie of the same name, and it is full of zany and fun characters. It is quite an original racing game. So, is it any good?

The Review
This game is not the best racing game out there, but it can really hold it's own. The game has a great career mode that is fun and does not feel too short. The track design is fun and exciting, and there are lots of shortcuts to find (who doesn't love shortcuts?) The game also looks beautiful. The world is colorful and lively. The multiplayer is pretty darn fun with friends too, as it kind of reminds me of when me and my buddies used to play Mario Kart. Racing with friends is always more fun. The game also has lots of characters (or cars) to choose from: over 30. This game has no shortage of cars to race with.

There is lots of characters (or cars) to choose from!
This game has some minor annoyances though. The voice samples get irritating after a while. If I hear Lightning McQueen say "Cachoww!" one more time, I will punch the T.V. out. There is also no online play, but I guess for kids, racing with friends around the T.V. is more fun.
This is not the best racing game available, but it is not bad at all.
Highlights
The Good: There is a great career mode, good track design, it looks nice, multiplayer is fun and there is lots of characters to choose from.

The Bad: The voice samples get irritating, and there is no online play.

The Result: I give it 3.5 out of 5.
