Cars Race-O-Rama
© 2009 THQ, Inc.
The weakest of the Cars titles we've reviewed, this third in the series is all about racing, and has less of a story element to it. We played the first two levels on the Wii version, and found the interface to be confusing to setup, and the graphics to be less than state-of-the art. To steer, you hold the Wii Remote like handlebars. Content includes 30 cars (15 new), plus some two-player minigames inspired from Disney/Pixar’s “Cars Toons,” a series of animated shorts that are currently being aired on the Disney Channel. Created by Incinerator Studios for THQ. Bag this one, at least the Wii version.. More information is at www.carsvideogame.com.
