What’s It About?

Players choose from a variety of racers, featuring characters from Phineas and Ferb, Wander Over Yonder, and more, and customize their vehicles before taking part in a variety of racing scenarios, ranging from traditional racing to determining how many coins you can collect along a track. Some of the controls are standard, such as the jump buttom at the bottom left corner or the power-up at the bottom right. But, to change lanes, you'll flick the screen up or down rather than side to side or by using the phone or tablet's gyroscope, which can be confusing at first.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say Not yet rated
Kids say (1 ):

Fans of Disney XD programming are a lot more likely to enjoy DISNEY XD GRAND PRIX than casual watchers. Although it's hardly a bad game, it's only an average kart racer -- and players who have spent time with Mario Kart or other high-quality titles will feel a bit let down.

There are a good variety of games, but the controls take a while to get used to -- and the graphics aren't exactly captivating. Still, little of that will matter for the target demographic, young kids who want to race as some of their favorite characters. And parents can relax knowing the game doesn't have any truly objectionable content -- or, refreshingly, in-app purchase options.
