Customer Review: Not great, not bad
This game was just ok for me. The bad parts about it were that it did take awhile for the disk to install, there were no instructions about how to control the car (it's pretty easy to figure out, but it would just be nice to have some instructions on it) and I didn't think the graphics were that good. Also, the little "CARtridge" fell out a couple times on me. As for the game itself, it's a standard racing game, if you have a game system that you currently use, you can probably get a better racing game on it then this is. If you're looking for a cheap racing game that you can play almost as soon as you get it, this might be your best bet. I know that different "CARtridges" give you different advantages, but I'm not sure what the difference is, I pretty much suck at all racing games, so I'm not too worried about the actual winning of the race at this point!
Customer Review: We love this racing game!
First I have to say the online games suck! We dont like them. We tried it and my son asked to put the cd back in. They said on the package that the online portion with be discotinued without notice on or after Jan. 2010. Oh well.
Now for the acual game and controller. The cd it comes with is very easy to install. Just pop it in. It takes a while for it to download at first. Once that is done, you are ready to play. You can race on all 8 levels. Each level has special track that only a certain car can go on. It's a way to get you to buy the extra cars.
The extra cartriges are $20 a peice. I know we are getting one for sure. They are really pricey though.
My almost 6 year old, really loves this game, and so do I. We do like video games and the controller is similar to the xbox 360 joysticks. There is no delay or anything with it. It does take some time to get used to the controls though, as it usually does with all new to you controllers.
Thisgame would make an awesome gift. Probably going to give this as a gift to a few 5-7 year old boys on my christmas list.
