Good for the kids, easy to learn, fun family game for the 360.

Not too much to review on this one. You basically have a party game where up to four players race each other, then do a challenge, then race each other, then do a challenge, etc. The colors are bright and vivid, the characters periodically humorous, and in general a decent game to play. We bought the game for my 5 year old daughter so she had a game SHE could play with her pink controller. Our family of 4 has played it a couple times and have enjoyed playing together. It's easier to play than the Fuzion Frenzy Series, but not as interesting as the mini games in Fuzion Frenzy.
One thing I don't like about the game is that you can't choose playing a tournament vs. playing just the mini games, but this lack of chose doesn't ruin the game for me.
If you have kids young enough, this is an ok addition to your library. I know my kids like it (my daughter is playing right now).
