We're torn over whether or not Ace Racers is better than the previous Buzz! Junior games. In the end it'll come down to personal preference. If you're on the look out for a game to please a speed demon child who might not be able to grasp the complexities of the latest Gran Turismo, Ace Racers should fit the bill perfectly.

Everything, from the length and layout of each track to the simplistic controls and gameplay, is geared toward younger players. While it didn’t hold any long term appeal for adults who tried it, the kids on our test panel certainly seemed to enjoy most of what the game had to offer.

But for kids aged around 10 years old who enjoyed Buzz! Junior RoboJam et al, then this game should prove entertaining, especially for a small group of 3 – 4 kids.

While a competent multiplayer game for children, if you’re an adult or have a child/younger sibling who intends to play this alone, there really isn’t a lot that will keep you occupied for long. Other than that, Buzz! Jr.: Ace Racers is a decent game for sleepovers and birthday parties.

Not bad for kids. [Christmas 2008, p.85]

This racing game will entertain only newbies and kids, because of the too simple handling. Parents can buy Ace Racer for there kids without having any concerns.
