- Enjoyable driving game for a young child.
My 6 year old loved this game from the moment he played it.
I would have given the game 5 stars but we had the following problem. The game kept closing down and then restarting the computer. I rang the games helpline number who on the second call told me to open the "run" program and to type in "dxdiag" and press OK. When the DirectX Diagnostic Tool box opens click on "sound 1" and then adjust the Hardware Sound Acceleration Level down to Basic acceleration which instantly cured the problem. Apparently this is a common fix for this game.
We have now purchased a Logitech Formula force EX Steering Wheel to use with the game which has increased my sons enjoyment of the game immensely.
I would recommend this game to anyone looking for an inoffensive and enjoyable game for a young child.

- My 4 Year Old Loves It
My 4 year old loves this game.
The "Cars" film endears itself so well to a video game that a simple racing game was bound to result.
This game runs well on my 4 year old PC (With a 128MB ATI radeon 9800 Pro graphics card). The graphics are good and the sound excellent. The game music is limited and can become somewhat tiresome.
There are essentially 2 modes of play. These are "Arcade" and "Story" mode.
The story mode unlocks higher levels in both the story and arcade modes. If the levels are not unlocked they are not available in either mode (Very frustrating). As a result, evening game playing, when my son is in bed, allows him to open up new levels during the day.
As an adult, I have played MUCH better car racing games but none that my son enjoys as much.

- Great pc game
I brought this for my 5 year old son just after christmas and he thinks its fab.He has most of the cars and toys about the film but he always comes home from school to play this on his dad's laptop.It is a bit hard to unlock some games for a 5 year old so his dad help's out a bit when he's gone to bed.It is by far the best PC game he has and I would say that any child that loves the movie will also love this too.

- Cars PC
The game will not run on my new computer. It requires a certain level of graphics card which is not found on even brand new computers. Amazon do not tell you this beforehand. Be careful of what you buy.
