Video Game Reviews of Cars
Customer Review: Cars......"Get....real gone....!!!"
Summary: 4 Stars
I, for the record, don't usually buy licensed games of movies that come out. For the most part, most of them are a waste of time & aren't worth the money that is spent on them. However, I've had a few exceptions in my time(if you've read any of my reviews before). At any rate, I recently watched "Cars" on DVD and was entertained by it. So, when I was out shopping, I come across Cars, the game, for the PSP at an exceptionally low price. The kid in me came out again, I guess, 'cause I ended up getting the game. I honestly wasn't expecting it to be worth much but I was pleasantly surprised that it ended up being the most 'entertaining' racer that I've played in awhile. Racing around familiar environments from the movie & hearing your favorites spout off all kinds of humor("Say--later 'mater..."), it was a real hoot. It's a perfect fit for those quick bursts of gameplay while commuting on a bus or traveling by cars & such. There are 15 playable 'Cars' in the game with only three available from the get-go as you make your way through over 25 races. Although it may be geared towards the younger set, older folks-like me-can get into it too. It might not be as deep as, say, Need for Speed or Ridge Racer but it's a solid racer...nonetheless.
There are, however, a couple of flaws in the game that hinder it from being a 'great' racer. First, the collision detection..it was really spotty at times with other cars as well as the environment. Second, while the game looked good on the PSP--it didn't look as good as the PSP is capable of. It looked more to me like a higher-rez Nintendo DS game, actually. Given, it's the gameplay that matters and this game has that in spades. Yet, I expected much more out of it. I could see the game looking this way if it were pushing as much code as Midnight Club 3:Dub Edition on the PSP but it isn't. Sad to say, even Midnight Club 3 looks a heck of a sight better than this game.
Beyond that, Cars for the PSP is a delightfully entertaining racer that will appeal to both young and old. Definitely worth a look if you love racing.
