Cars (PlayStation 2, 2006)

I wouldn't recommend this for hard core gamers but definitely great for kids and I found it very entertaining as a novice 20-something adult player who grew up with the original Frogger, Super Mario Bros. and Sonic the Hedgehog. If you enjoy games that have many small victories as opposed to one seemingly never ending battle, this would be a great choice. I found the mini games entertaining; each one has about 4 or 5 levels and they increase in difficulty as you pass on to a new level. I also found it exciting to explore the terrain and find hidden trails. It requires use of multiple controller buttons at one time in order to utilize some of the special features and to stay on track at high speeds but should be fairly easy to catch on to after a few minutes of continuous play. The story line is a nice addition too. The only negative is the repetitious comments from the announcer and other cars during the races and from passing cars on the terrain - it got a little annoying after a while.
