Update: After a few days of playing the game, my 4.5 yr old son still places last.He can place 1st in Mario Kart on certain tracks with no problems. but with Cars 2 there's too many fun distractions :). He is having a blast making the car jump around and do tricks, turbo boost off a cliff and into the water, etc etc. He's having fun so it's ok with me. Fair warning to the parents :).
When I first got this game as a surprise for my 4.5 yr old son (he loves Mario Kart and is pretty good at it), I gave Cars 2 a try myself beforehand to figure out the basics. The IGN review is accurate and I agree with their findings.
a few key items not in the IGN review (or bears repeating):
PLEASE use the Wii wheel or wiimote (no nunchuck)!! When I first played this game (and with my son) we used the wiimote+nunchuck. I did not do very well and my son kept on flipping the car on 2 wheels or flipping in reverse when he was trying to steer. Once we switched to the wii wheel, which is what we normally use w/ Mario Kart, everything was golden and both of us were having a blast.
This game is actually challenging! I'm only on Clearance level 2 and it was not a walk in the park. Still got 1st place though :). It is more challenging than Mario Kart IMO since there's different game modes and the weapons require more skill to use.
This game is suitable for kids if you're ok with cartoon cars shooting other cars with guns and missiles (I'm fine with it). If your kid can play Mario Kart then he/she can play Cars 2. Key word is "play", not necessarily "play well". The Battle Race and Attack game modes might be tricky for the younger kids (
