As far as the game’s look, it’s just as colorful as anyone would hope for a family-style game to look.  The race tracks are all unique and the really cool thing is that most of them have their own paths and shortcuts.  While the shortcuts are more painfully obvious on the DS because of its dual-screen mechanism, on the Wii it’s more about noticing the surroundings of your car.  The sound is also typical of any Sims game, with nothing but Simglish spoken, sometimes the game is a pain to listen to.  The music isn’t really anything memorable and doesn’t do much to blend with the experience, which is quite unfortunate because the music in The Sims 3 is terrific.

Not a good score, but it’s worth a rent according to Smashpad
