My kids have been obsessed with Cars since the very first movie came out when they were pretty young. Lightning McQueen and Mater were big names in our house and talked about often. When I heard about Cars 2: The Video Game, I just knew my kids would love it!
So of course when they popped Cars 2: The Video Game into the Wii, they played for hours. What’s really cool about the game is that you can train with your vehicles. They can learn all sorts of different maneuvers and tricks such as sliding, jumping and cartwheels.
Up to 4 players can play, so all of the kids can get into the action and have some fun. They loved building their car’s abilities and racing against each other. They also had a blast using the nitrous ability. They’ve had such fun playing this over the last few weeks. I asked the kids what their favorite part was and here’s what they had to say:
Lil Man: The characters and racing
Big Bro: The characters and winning
I guess they’re not much for words are they?! I suppose that’s why it’s a good thing that I write the reviews instead of them!
