ComplicatedJun 07, 2010 I thought this would be a good game for my 5 year old who likes cars. Unfortunately you can't just race normally. You have to go through levels and unlock all the courses. It wasn't as fun as I thought it would be.
GREAT GAME!Oct 10, 2009 My boys (5 & 9) LOVE this game!! We have this game for our Playstation 2 & bought it as the sequel to the Cars video game for the same system. I think it really works best as a sequel to the original Cars game because it expands on the story & game of the original.
My boys LOVE that they can race as lots of other characters (especially Luigi & Monster Truck Mater) and that the can collect special paint jobs & wheels for Lightning in story mode (in addition to bonus points)! My boys also love the fact that they can explore the story mode of the game as "Monster Truck Lightning"!! It's one of their favorite parts of this game. (FYI - you appear to NEED the extra height of Monster Truck Lightning to collect some of the bonus points in story mode.)
The only disappointment my boys have with this game is that in the original Cars game they could race against each other in "Versus" mode on any of the road races they had unlocked from the game, as well as stadium (Piston Cup) races & "Rustbucket" races. In the "Mater-national" game, the only races available in "Versus" mode are stadium races & "Rustbucket" races, no road races. You can still play the road races by themselves, but only in Arcade or Story mode and so only racing against the computer, not each other. While that is a disappointment to the boys, the other features this game offers more than make up for it!!
Highly recommend!!

Great Game for All AgesMay 14, 2009 This is a great game. My kids love it. Even my husband and I have played it a few times. Best of all, it 's safe to play for any child (as long as they can hold the paddle). No language,guns, bombs,explosions, sensuality, or killing. Even the players don't die. Just a good old fashioned racing game with some good clean fun thrown in. I especially like the competitive race with Mike and Sully (Monsters,Inc). It was delivered just in time for christmas, so we had fun playing it through the winter.
