We play this game all the time. The boys love it. One game I can actually sit and play with them.

We love Mario Kart but also love variety. We are on the hunt for a game on par with Mario Kart that is fun for the whole family. We (a nine year old and an adult) tried this game for a few days and hated it. We used the steering wheel and there is very limited control of the vehicles. The track was boring (driving in circles). There were limited vehicle choices. The additional "games" were more interesting but not worth purchasing the game. It only allows up to 2 players. Children under age may find this entertaining but still not worth it.

I bought this game for my 4 1/2 year old son, because he loves anything to do with Disney Cars. This is way to advanced for him to really enjoy. He got frustrated very quickly with the complexity of the game, as did I . You absolutely need a wheel for a smaller child bacause holding the controller horizontally is extremely awkward. I plan to get the wheel, but I don't see this game getting used for quite a while. There should be a skill level rating along with the content rating.

This was a Christmas gift for my 4 year old sons, and he absolutely loves it. This is the first Wii game that he has ever had, so he isn't very good with the controller yet, but even so, he thinks it is a great game. He loves the fact that he can play as so many different characters. The mini games are a lot of fun and the rookie race courses are great for a beginner. I think he will get a lot of use out of this game.

A little easier to control than Mario Kart, but not nearly as entertaining. Can be frustrating for young ones because it's easy to get lost, or end up roaming around trying to find your target (Mario Kart has tracks you can't get off of). It's cheaper than Mario Kart, but it also has a much shorter enjoyment cycle. It's worth buying a steering wheel for either (Mario Kart usually comes with one). I think the graphics for this game are a little sub par even for Wii.
