Cars 2
Is It Any Good?
While the courses on the various levels of the Cars 2 app game may technically be different from one another, they all feel very much the same. This is a simple run-and-jump game (or drive-and-jump, in this case), with not much more to it. The controls are simple enough for young kids, which is nice, but the repetitiveness may wear thin quickly. You can choose from four Cars characters, but there's no real difference between them in terms of gameplay. Kids who just enjoy seeing these characters race and jump might get a kick out of the app, but the free "Lite" version may actually provide them all they need.
