Toca Cars app review: buckle up and step on it

Introduction

If your child has a passion for cars, then Toca Cars is the perfect iPhone and iPad app to encourage this passion as it encourages children to play with cars and use their imagination rather than play a game to compete, win, or solve puzzles.

The app, like other Toca Boca apps, is dubbed a “digital toy” rather than a game to enable the child to play with it like he or she would play with a physical toy, like I used to when I was a child, or the way most children have grown up before now.

I Call Shotgun!

Complete with a variety of fun features ranging from thrilling ones like ramps and jumps to whimsical ones such as ice cream puddles, lakes, trees, and stop signs, this contraption lets your child's imagination wander as he or she explores the landscape by flying off of these ramps, diving into lakes, and bumping into the stop signs.

This game is just so full of quirky little surprises. For instance, there is an Editor mode where you can create your own “race course” by arranging different features in interesting ways. Small jumps, big jumps, houses, trees, animals, and much more can be added.

A robot might show up, or a little dog will chase your car! These little touches that the developers have taken the time and effort to incorporate, have made this game a total delight even for a grown woman like me. I could hardly wipe the grin off my face as I drove along no matter how and where I wanted, knocking things over and bumping into objects.

Follow The Road. Or Don't!

Want to do that particular race course again but the trees and stop signs are knocked over? No problem, all you have to do is press the “restore” button and you can do it all over again.

Although Toca Cars is priced at a seemingly hefty $2.99, we must take into consideration that most children's games in this category have a similar price tag, and buying an actual model of a car along with tracks and other features to make it interesting would cost far more money than having this digital toy handy on road trips and other situations.

Furthermore, it is also important to recognize that for $2.99, this app has no signs of any third-party advertising or in-app purchases which would generally distract most young ones from their world of adventure.
