Cars 2 - Nintendo Wii

I finally beat the Tokyo track on hard mode after a dozen tries—the handling feels tighter than I expected for a Wii racing game. The variety of weapons keeps each race unpredictable, even after playing for hours.

My kids have been begging for this game, and the track design is surprisingly detailed for a Wii title. The split-screen multiplayer works flawlessly, too.

The loading times between races are quick, and the driving feels surprisingly smooth on the Wii remote. My kid loves unlocking new cars, and it's been a fun way to spend rainy afternoons together.
