Why It Rocks

 * 1) A huge selection of characters. Also features characters that are not seen in the movie such as Candice (a pink sports car based on the Porsche 911), Stinger (a tuned muscle car based on the Dodge Challenger SRT8) or El Machismo (a trophy truck) as well as Doc's and Chick's students and the four modified Lightning McQueen variants such as Beach McQueen, Offroad McQueen, Speedway McQueen and Street McQueen.
 * 2) You can fully customize Lightning McQueen with a huge selection of hoods, bumpers, side skirts, spoilers, rims, and paint jobs.
 * 3) Colorful graphics.
 * 4) Rather simple, yet very creative storyline. Lightning McQueen is racing against Chick Hicks and his students to save Doc Hudson Racing Academy and Radiator Springs.
 * 5) Chick Hicks, for a moment, has got himself an army of robotic racecars — VINs.
 * 6) Good soundtrack.
 * 7) New minigames such as Photo OP where you must jump to the yellow corona to make your character being photographed, Transporter missions where the player go to the desired place before time runs out as well, they made Cars Toons ' minigames such as El Materdor, Tokyo Mater and Mater the Greater.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Even the GameFAQs average rating difficulty is not even rated tough-unforgiving in none of the platforms of the game, there's an unnecessary difficulty spike such as the opponents sometimes are rubber band AI that it catches you easily regardless if you are far of then or even if the difficulty is set on Beginner especially if the opponent is Lighting McQueen (which occur if you are playing with a character that those character appeared as an opponent) and Monster Lighting McQueen in Monster Truck Races (that occurs if you are playing as Monster Mater or Sulley).
 * 2) *Also, they made another difficult minigame such as Guido Kart Races where Guido or any other character such as Chick Hicks Racing Pitty, Doc Hudson Pitty, etc, it controls very slippery and worst of all it steers itself to the right if you are playing with the directional buttons making winning those races very impossible for a game that's not even rated tough-unforgiving.
 * 3) In fact, overall, most of RWD and AWD cars can tend to steer itself to the right if you are using directional buttons especially in the Monster Truck Races and the aforementioned Guido Kart Races. And to add insult to injury even if the controller left analog stick or the directional buttons aren't even badly damaged it does not prevent of steering itself! 
 * 4) The PSP and DS versions are crappy ports featuring low end graphics and visuals and as well as a lack of content.
