Customer ReviewsReviewed on 2008-04-28      My Nephew loves it!! I got this as a Christmas gift for my nephew and he loves it, hes 9 years old and loves race cars as well as being able to race with his favorite characters...I recommend this to anyone who has a cartoon network lover at home ;-) |  | Reviewed on 2008-02-29      Not fair. This game is too pixely to be considered DS quality. The graphics just aren't what they could be. Plus, you have to come in first place in every race just to unlock the next set of courses. That's just not fair. Some people don't play video games to win; they play them to have fun. |  | Reviewed on 2008-01-27      My kids love this game I have 2,4,6 & 10 year old gamers in my home and this game holds their attention for hours if I let it. It's intense and they concentrate on winning. If I ever want some quiet time, I will tell them to play this game. Highly recommended. |  | Reviewed on 2007-12-28      DS Cartoon Network Racing My 11 year old son enjoys the game. Anything racing is good for him and the addition of the fact that it is Cartoon network makes it even better. |  | Reviewed on 2007-08-27      Starts off good but doesn't end that way. This game starts off real nice. You have a choice of the PPG, Cow & Chicken, Johnny Bravo, Dexter, I M Weasel...and I think that's it; there may be a couple more. But it's clear from the empty slots that later in the game you can get more characters. In the beginning you race a championship. You have to win the championship in 1st place in order to get the next one; there are 4 championships in all. But once you get the last one, the game gets a bit boring.
Basically there are only the 4 championship races. After you get all four, then what you're competing for is higher difficulty/speed levels, but the races are all the same. A BIG negative.
During the races you can get coins. Once you get enough you can go to the "Toon Up" shop and buy things like the hidden characters, 2 hidden games, and even 3 cartoons. But again, once you get all the characters, the game gets boring. You're also supposed to buy "souped up" cars for each person to correspond with the higher levels (ex. you get to difficulty/speed level 2 and want to race with Johnny, you have to buy Johnny's level 2 car); otherwise when you get to the next difficulty level you won't have anyone to choose from. That means you'll be racing the same championship level for quite a while just to get enough coins to buy new cars for all the characters. Even worse, the "souped up" versions are no different in design or power than the originals.
The biggest drawback is that you can't race any track individually. You either race a championship (4 specific tracks) or time trial, where you race against your best time, but with no other characters. This means that you can't pick a favorite track and race just for the fun of it.
Another drawback is no battle option, which would have been awesome considering the characters you have to work with.
One unique thing is that each character has its own special move. You collect stars during the races, and when you get enough energy you can use your special move. The only thing sometimes it takes forever to get enough energy, and then you can only use the move 2-3 times before you run out. There's a cheat code you can find on the Net that'll let you have unlimited energy, which is handy.
Overall, this game starts off well, but after you race the championships on the first speed level the excitement fades quickly. In fact, there's also a cheat code with this game that allows you to unlock the entire game, but I suggest you play it for yourself first, or else you'll REALLY get bored. |  |
