Cars 2 features satellite lasers, missiles, and other guns attached to the cars. Today you can race a car with graphics that were not imaginable when I was a child, and better still you get weapons to use while racing. Most kids these days want to play a game with a gun, which is not too far away from my childhood when games were blocks on the C64, and picking up a toy gun was extreme fun. If you loved Mario Kart then Cars 2 will be a winner for you within the first 30 minutes, but there is so much more to this game than just racing. This can be a bad thing for some gamers, but for us it’s perfect, bringing back memories of the movie for that feel good factor. Those that develop a game based on a movie do not have much development time, so you’ll not see originality and should expect most of the game to resemble the movie closely. I would recommend you see the Cars 2 movie before playing the game, and this is thanks to the close tie-in to the movie. ![]() You’ll start Cars 2 with the New Agent Training mode, which means getting comfortable with the basics of racing and learning the tricks you can perform to help you gain pole position. After enjoying Toy Story 3 the game for many hours, our expectations are higher than normal for a movie tie-in. So when playing the game I took onboard the fun fans get from everything that is Cars, and also looked at the graphics and playability.

Developed by Avalanche Software and published by Disney Interactive, Cars 2 lets you race as characters from the movie in a third-person point of view. When we had a chance to review the Cars 2 game it was a no-brainer, which I also saw as an opportunity to get some insight from the adult and child perspective. As a parent of a little boy that loves all things “Cars”, the movie was a must see and also turned out to be something the whole family enjoyed. Our first shock came when we realized its been 5 years since the first Cars film was released, and the buildup to Cars 2 has included excitement from kids and good marketing by those promoting this sequel.
