Very possibly the worst video game I've ever touched. I've been known to be relatively forgiving towards chintzy, blatant cash-grabs like this from the era - by which I mean, there tends to be a prior expectation that they're going to be pretty crappy already. But this is a new low even by that grading curve, and I didn't think the first Cars video game was even that bad, either. Muddy graphics, choppy framerate, track design that ranges from brutally boring to the most horrendous things ever, and handling that will legitimately make you curse your own soul. Those fucking Guido races are one of the top 5 worst things ever spat onto a video game disc - total luck whether or not you don't spin out for no reason (usually miliseconds before the finish line) and/or glitch right through the floor of the track. There are gripes to be made with the current state of gaming but come on, don't act like you aren't immensely glad that this borderline evil genre of games isn't poisoning the well so much anymore.
