What’s It About?

TURBO: SUPER STUNT SQUAD is a multi-platform video game that fuses cartoon racing -- not unlike the action found in the animated Turbo movie -- with performing stunts in, say, a Tony Hawk-like skateboarding game. Each playable character from the movie -- including Turbo, Skidmark, Whiplash, Smoove Move, and Burn -- has unique moves on the race track and while performing flips and other stunts. As characters rack up points through drifting, grinding, and jumping, they'll also earn special power-ups, new challenges, modes, and ways to customize your character. Locations based on the movie include Starlight Plaza and Dos Bros Taco Stand. The game offers a few different solo and multiplayer modes for players in front of the same TV.

Is It Any Good?

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

Yes, but despite what you might think by the game's marketing materials, it's not a straightforward racing game -- it focuses heavily on stunts, which is a pleasant surprise. The gameplay is accessible, fun, and somewhat attractive with its colorful graphics. It has many unlockable elements, which add extra incentive and replayability -- including new modes, characters, outfits, power-ups, and more. In fact, kids may enjoy designing and upgrading the character shells and abilities.

The computer-controlled racers have somewhat predictable paths, but you can also team up with a sibling or friend in multiplayer modes, on the same television, on the Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii U versions (and race with up to four players on the Wii).

Talk to Your Kids About ...

  • Families can talk about marketing. This video game is based on the movie Turbo and is released at the same time of the movie. Why do you think developers do this? Did you buy this game because you saw the movie?

  • Did you like the racing aspects of this game best? Or the skateboarding-type stunts?
