Solitaire - Ultimate Collection (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: Cars
This game was brill at first but it starts to get boring, great for a 4-9 year old game. It can get fustrating, ecspaiclly when it dosent tell you what to do propally. It is lots of mini games, when you win one, you unlock another. As I said great for kids under 9!
Customer Review: How Boring
My friend brought this game when we went to get our DS’s together. the game looked good and we were both excited to play it. a few weeks ago we swapped games for a while, and i have to say this game is rubbish! 1)its a load of mini games which are very repetative as you have to complete a number of levels to open another game. 2)there is very little racing cars, which is what i wanted to play. 3)for a game for youngens most of the games were quite tricky and i have to have my friend complete them for me. in all a very, repetative, boring, frustrating game!

USB Charging Cable For Nintendo DS Lite Customer Review: Does what is says on the box…
It appears to work absolutely fine. I can’t really understand why Nintendo don’t include this with the console; it seems such an obvious thing to supply as standard. It’s certainly useful if you have access to a PC & don’t want to cart around the NDSlite psu.
The USB cable seems to work OK in conjunction with the 3rd party FPUK NDS Lite Docking Cradle Power Stand, but I tried this only once. Please see my review of the docking cradle before you rush to buy it.
Customer Review: Great but for the delivery
This cable works fine out of the box, making it clear also that Nintendo did not approve. This reduces the dependency on the big chargers for the mains and also could mean you didn’t have to buy a separate car charger if used with a Car socket to USB converter and also with the minty boost (search for it).
