Cars (Nintendo DS)
In a nutshell:
Few kids films can be as well suited to video game immortalisation as Cars and just for once a movie license-in hasn’t just been used for a cheap cash-in. Think Ridge Racer, Jr. and there’s plenty to enjoy here for both adults and children.
The lowdown:
When you’ve got a movie populated solely by talking cars it at least means there’s no need to turn the game into yet another third person platformer. Instead you take the role of stock car Lightning McQueen in what is actually a sequel to the movie’s plot, as he works his way up the racing leagues. Whether there’s someone driving Lightning or not he still handles like any other arcade racer, complete with a handy powerslide. The artificial intelligence of the other cars can seem a bit too willing to let you win in the early stages but there are separate kids and adults modes to ensure all ages get a decent challenge.
Most exciting moment:
Although it’s not quite Grand Theft Auto the game features a surprisingly large game world for you to explore, with wide open canyons and towns filled with tons of side quests and mini-games to ignore or enjoy as you please.
Since you ask:
Almost the entire voicecast of the movie reprise their roles, recording original dialogue just for the game. This includes Owen Wilson and, in his first ever role in a video game, the legendary Paul Newman.
The bottom line:
One of the best movie tie-ins for a while and a decent little racer.

Customer Review: Addictive
I got this game yesterday and with the exception of the final race it’s completed, I wish there were more hidden things on there or something however it was very nice not to just have another platform game, while some of the mini games were a bit boring and annoying to get through there was a variety and I really enjoyed it. Definately worthewhile gettting and I’ll probably play the mini games over anyway particularly as there’s new levels unlocked - but more of the same thing.
Customer Review: interesting but….
At first this game was absolutly brilliant!!!! Great fun. But there arnt that many games. After a while it begins to get boring. There is not much of a story line and no racing. However it is great for a young kid. I thought this would have loads of racing but there is only one race. And in this all you do is play gaees. Great Game… at first.

The Simpsons (Nintendo DS) Customer Review: As Mr Burns would say “Excellent”
Although it doesnt boast the same 3D graphics as other formats. The 2nd platform works really well. There is a huge amount of dialogue and the cutscenes are all there as well. The game is about the right difficulty with a few hard parts. My only gripe is that its not that long but apart from that definately 5 stars!

Customer Review: It’s Okay,
This game is Okay but I’ve seen better. It’s the same levels all over again. It takes such a long time to play and has very little to do with film. It’ll keep you entertained but only for a while. Chloe Age 10

Customer Review: Only One Workout Per Day.
This is the first Brain Training game that I have bought for the DS Lite and even though I am enjoying it I do find that the voice function is not too hot. I also don’t like the fact that you only get one chance per day to change you brain age. Why? Surely if you want to play it all day and try to improve your score you should be able to do so. I know your supposed to use it on a daily basis but the idea may be to allow you to have 3 sessions per day. The graphics are nice and simple and the gameplay is good, the puzzles are good and do make you think.
Customer Review: scissors is a bad bad word…
A very good game which actually does help you get better at remembering stuff. My mum is 21. I’m about 50. (HELP! I’m dumb…) The only problem I have with this game is that my parents never get off it. Also on rock paper scissors, it WILL NOT recognise the word “scissors”, no matter how many different ways in which you say it… XXX
