Madagascar Kartz Review

We bought this game for our 5-year-old son for Christmas as his first game to play on our PS3.It's moderately fun for grown-ups but very challenging for the little ones --I have 2 major complaints with this game:

#1- There is no "free driving" mode where a kid can just have fun driving around and check out the tracks.It is NOT fun for a 5-year old to come in 6th place every time when he really just wants to drive around. This is his first racing game and we have to teach him about power-ups, tricks, turbo, and shortcuts and it's hard to do that in this game since it is set up to be hyper-competitive.

#2- On Multiplayer mode you cannot disable the computer characters.I'd love to be able to just play one on one with my son in order to teach him the tracks but again the computer players make this very difficult and I wind up with a frustrated 5-year old in 6th (or 5th if I hold back and just follow him around the track)place.

I've been playing games for about 20 years, we have a PS3 and a Wii at the house and play a lot of games. I understand the concept of racing games, but thought that one marketed solely at kids would be a bit-more kid-friendly.They already had the game built--would it have cost them anything to put in a free-race mode?We were hoping to be able to have this game that all three of us could play on the PS3 but actually my son is so frustrated we'll probably be putting this one away for 6 months to a year and get him back on some of my Wii games.
