Customer Reviews

Outstanding DS Racing Title for Fans of the Film
If you own a DS and enjoyed the movie Cars, don't hesitate to buy this game. Unlike the minigame collection that formed the DS version of the first Cars game, DS Maternational is everything you'd want from a DS Cars game: Fast, fun racing with all the humor and personality of the film. It lacks the virtual-Radiator Springs world to drive around that forms the hub of the console versions, but the racing is smooth and well-done.

This is, hands-down, the 2nd most enjoyable racer on the DS (after Mario Kart.)

The game delivers a fully animated opening cinema (later cinemas from the console versions are presented as slide shows), a solid 3D racing game engine, voice acting for all characters during races (they're a very talkative bunch!) and imaginative tracks with hidden shortcuts that trigger in-race special events.

You begin with a choice of 2 racers (Lightning and Mater), unlocking more characters as you discover secret routes. Unlockable cars include Sheriff, Doc, Sarge, Flo, Lizzie and several others.

So -- for any Cars fans out there wondering whether or not this one's worth a purchase, wonder no longer: This game's a blast.

Just as good as Mario Kart
My 7 yr old is loving this game, it was given to him as a Bday gift. He's having just as much fun with this game as the Mario Kart. You seem to have to do more in this game, to get other cars.

Wonderful Deal
This item is being given to my grandson who is 3 1/2 who loves anything that is associated with CARS. He loves to use his brother DS and always play the games well so this will be a Christmas present for him when he gets his own DS. Thanks for the wonderful price and prompt service.
