This game is not as little-kid friendly as I was hoping for. While the cars are great and appealing for my 5-year-old son and 3 1/2-year-old twin sons, they had a hard time controlling the cars around the courses and accomplishing the goals. All three of them were frustrated trying to play it. It definitely wasn't those "pick up and play" games. Mario Kart is a far better choice for both little-kids and us adults, and for those looking for an easier "pick up and play" game.

[ASIN:B000TG72RE Hot Wheels: Beat That]]
We bought this game for our 3 year old son. We were looking for a racing game without profanity, blood, etc. and Hot Wheels Beat That only has weapons that slow down the opponents without blood and gore. At first we thought he wouldn't take to playing the game or it would be too difficult for his age, but it took him less than a month of watching us play before he picked up the joypad himself and started playing. After that, he mastered the races in another month. We unlocked all the events and races for him on single player mode and we all play with him on multiplayer. He beats us all (no letting him win anymore) and he loves the drift, draft and jump features of the game. He not only has the highest points in the family, he's already beaten the resident expert in video games (his dad). One thing our son discovered that we don't like much about the game is that sometimes he can make his car jump off the board. The race continues below you

I read mixed reviews of Hot Wheels for the Wii, but I'm glad I ignored the negative reviews. My 6 year old boy just loves the game and it provides enough challenge so his dad can enjoy racing against him. Game play is easy to pick up with the Wii remote and we've had fun unlocking different games. The one negative is that you can only unlock games in single player mode rather than two player mode.
In summary, this game is great for father-son bonding!

This game for the WII was very good for a 9 year old,,,just loved it,,but the steering wheel was not adaptable for the WII that they have...all in all it was still a good purchase.

We had Hot Wheels Velocity-X on the PC and enjoyed it. Hot Wheels Beat That on the Wii doesn't have the same level of replayability as that old game. The environments (bowling alley, bedroom, etc.) are neat, but the novelty wears off quickly. The different cars have similar physics with a different shell unlike Velocity-X where the cars really "felt" different.
Overall, a fun game, but not as good as its predecessor.
