This could have easily been a 3/5 based on how it varies the events and features a surprising amount of depth for a racing game based on a Disney property... if it wasn't for two things. First of which is the second Monster Checkpoint level, which seems to be preset to an astronomical level, regardless of the diffiiculty picked, and ultimately relies on perfect movement along with a little luck.

The second flaw is almost a very fatal one however, as it proves impossible to complete on its PS3 version and that is the Ghosting Mater minigame; no matter how many times I tried and how many different ways I attempted it the second level of this seemingly innocuous mini-game proved impossible to beat. Eventually I conceded I was doing something wrong and so research began; every single walkthrough was for the Wii and made it seem so easy.

Long story short this game is designed to run at 480p as per the Wii and anything further completely destroys the speed at which Mater moves in this mini-game, rendering it impossible and, by proxy, the 100% completion of this game on the PS3. Way to go Disney, incredible quality control among your platforms.
