I had originally given Cars a 3-star rating. I've been playing racing games for 20 years, and in mind I'm thinking, "Three out of five stars means that 'Cars' is a slightly above average racing game." Most veteran gamers would agree with me. Cars lacks the extreme sense of excitement and competition that we associate with the most cutting edge racing games. It picks up where the movie left off and then plays it safe, completely failing to push the envelope in any way. But I consulted with my four-year old son, and he cheerfully gave Cars the full five stars. The Cars video game lets him toodle around Radiator Springs and drive his favorite characters from the Cars movie, and in his mind there's it's the best game in our collection. Since he and I play Cars together, we compromised on the rating, and that's what you're going to see in this review.
