Motortoon 2

A racer with "toon" in the title may sound silly, but don't sell MotorToon Grand Prix 2 short: It's slick, fast, and, yes, goofy fun for real race fans.

MTGP2 has a lot of style. As in cartoons, the game's eight flexible vehicles stretch as they careen around the corners of the five colorful tracks. The racing scenario isn't as sophisticated as in more serious racers; for example, you can't upgrade your car. Despite this drawback, though, this game gets intense. Gentlemen, start your Toons!

The graphics are the best part, even though there are no wrecks. The clear track of Crazy Coaster and the fine intro footage make glittering eye candy.

Sound

Control

Wacky power-ups (like a two-ton weight) juice the fun, though choosing them from the spinning menu and using them can be awkward. The cars can also be tough to maneuver.

Fun Factor

Take these uncomplicated Toons to the track for an interesting new take on traditional racing. You'll have fun fun fun till your daddy takes the T-Bird away.
