Developed by Spanish outfit Revistronic, Toon Cars eschews all realism in favour of physics and handling that just feel right, while piling on humorous touches, cartoony graphics and all sorts of power-ups. Progress is made through the time-honoured method of unlocking tracks while the races themselves are made unpredictable by track obstacles and the power-ups. You do sometimes spend too much time out of sight of other cars almost as if it were a rally simulation before a rocket hits you from behind and everyone overtakes you right at the end, but split-screen mode is a good laugh. This is as close as we're ever going to get to Mario Kart on the PC.

Toon Car ist nur zu ertragen, wenn Sie verrückten Gaga-Spaß mögen. Dann aber unterhält es - für begrenzte Zeit - bestens.

Toon Car is an unfortunate attempt at filling a market hole on the PC, and it fails miserably. Quite how a game could be such an extreme opposite of fun is astounding. I played on just to see if I could squeeze any enjoyment out of it whatsoever, but I'm not convinced Toon Car was made with any sense of what your average games player wants. Let me assure you Akaei, it isn't this.
