I bought this game for my kids and they received it as an early Christmas gift. If you have younger kids, you can bump my score up a star because they won't be concerned about gameplay factors as an adult gamer would. It plays decent enough but my biggest gripe with the game is that the power sliding isn't very good at all(a very important gameplay mechanic for a kart racer) . This alone makes Sonic All-Star Racing the overall best kart racing game on the 360. Visually, it's not quite as good as Sonic All-Star Racing either but it does perform better overall(more consistent framerate, especially in split screen)
This is a mascot based kart racer(much like 99% of kart racing games)and I honestly don't think Dreamworks "All Star" cast is as strong or memorable as other franchises. It's also a negative that not all the worthwhile stars are in this game.
When it comes down to it, I didn't buy this game for myself, I bought it for my kids. They enjoyed it quite a bit. I'm sure most people will buy this for their kids so that's what matters most is if they enjoy the game. For the game itself, it gets three out of five stars as a whole. I play a lot of games and have for years, so I'm not some parent that is naive and buys games just cause it has recognizable characters on it. Since I'm not the intended market for this game, you can raise my review a star if you're buying for kids 10 or under. It's a good game for the intended audience and for the discounted price(I even got a better deal when I bought it)so it's worth getting. If you have to choose between this and Sonic All-Star Racing, Sonic is a much better game overall, has more content and is almost 50% cheaper.

Bought this game for my young daughter expecting pretty much nothing good of the game, but I was pleasantly surprised! The gameplay is very easy, which is good for kids, but can be repetitive at times. If you are a fan of Mario Kart and those types of games, give this one a try! It's not bad at all.
