Great for your child
It offers a sandbox for speed and creativity with no punishing penalties for crashing.
Great for you
The short round times make it easy to play together even during a busy evening.
Parent notes
The game is generally very safe, but be aware that community-made track names are player-generated. Monitor the club/chat features if playing in the higher-tier subscription versions.
The Connection Grade™ breakdown
Four things we grade, each one judged on what this game actually does. Open any row to see why.
Passing the controller back and forth to shave milliseconds off a shared personal best creates lively couch competition, but the game lacks native co-op driving where two players actively coordinate a single vehicle or shared objective.
Skills this builds
- Taking turns hunting medal times on twenty-second tracks
- Calling out upcoming obstacles and braking zones while watching from the couch
- Testing and critiquing each other's custom layouts in the track builder
Try this together
When one of you is stuck missing a gold medal by half a second, have the other watch the ghost car to spot exactly which corner is losing speed.
