Disney Pixar CARS for the PSP reviewed.

I've been reviewing PC games in this blog, but now my 7 year old son has a Sony PSP (sony playstation portable) I thought I should add some reviews of PSP games so here goes.

Cars is a movie my two year old just loves and forces me to watch it over and over again with him. If that wasn't bad enough my sons PSP has a new cars game so now that I'm swamped by CARS I thought I would reviewed the game for you.

It's a great racing game, in a cartoon feel with jumps, boost, tight turns, ramps and hidden passages, as well as a bunch of tracks mainly inspired from the film.

You are encouraged to complete the game by unlocking new tracks and cars. It can be quite a challenge and in the later tracks you are unlikely to win unless you get use to the layout of the bends, corners and shortcuts, which can take some practice on the more complex tracks.

The tracks are as follows:-
Figure 8
Radiator Springs
Desert Canyon Dash
Radiator Cap Run
DJ Boss Race
Mesa Ravine
Turbine Canyon
Frank's Field
Snot Rod Boss Race
Ironhorse Junction
Torquetown
Interstate
Wingo Boss Race
Diesel Forest
Wheel Well
Crankshaft mine
Boost Boss Race
Chick Boss Battle

The Cars are as follows:-

Cars with good cornering and acceleration but low top end speed
DJ, Wingo, Sally (184MPH)

Cars with a good top speed but less cornering and acceleration
Lightning McQueen, Flo, Chick, Boost, Snot Rod, Ramone (197MPH)

Cars with great top speed but poor cornering and acceleration
Mater, Doc Hudson, Sheriff (210MPH)

There are three other cars that can be unlocked but only in Multiplayer mode by beating other players and winning postcards.

The top left button allows you to jump, but the right top button is the most important on later tracks with tight corners as it lets you power slide through the corners.

On the whole I rate this game highly. Great 50's music, good engine sounds, great graphics and high re playability.

You have options of story mode, postcard mode, time trials and 4 track cups.

Now that this is a PSP Platinum game meaning its great value and cheap - I suggest add it to your collection. Add two if you have two Sony PSP machines as I'd imagine it would be great fun racing against your mates and doing a Chick special of crashing them out.
