MY THOUGHTS:

This is a classic car racing game but features the fun characters from DreamWorks movies. My boys love Madagascar and Shrek and thought it was so cool to be them in the game. The game has different levels of play: Quick Race, Circuit, Time Trial, Challenge, and Battle. You can play alone or up to four players. My boys and I raced around and around and had so much fun. I found too that you can collect and use bonus items (like throwing a pumpkin) pretty easy and efficiently. Each character has its own special moves and the bonus items are even items from the movies. This is a cute game and especially fun for Dreamworks fans!

BUY IT: Look for “DreamWorks Super Star Kartz” for the Nintendo Wii online or wherever video games are sold!
