my son love car anything , and he love play video game , so I think he would really enjoy this . he just turn 5 , and he do not play the Wii game system much , so he have some difficulty use the controller , since he be use to the playstation controller . he do get a little frustrated while try to play the different game but only because of the controller , not the game itself . other than that , it be a pretty fun game to play , I enjoy it as well . I think they should revise this game so that you can use the Classic Controller for Wii with this game , kid would find it a lot easier .
