While there is no online multiplayer, there is the option for split screening with some friends, which adds a whole new level of fun to Cars 3. This also adds to the replayability and gives players the motivation to complete all of the different game modes and unlockable scenes within the game. This hall of fame, or simple leveling system, is the real challenge within the game, as the more you play and the better you become, the more becomes unlocked. In addition to this, there is also the hall of fame, where you complete challenges to earn more skills and unlockable items. There are six game modes, 16 cup series, 23 cars, 21 tracks and a little bit of customization. Where the story lacks, however, the sheer content of the game makes up for it. “If the aim of the game was to make it feel just like the movie, it falls short however, if the intention was to take a Mario Kart style title and turn it into a Disney Pixar production, Cars 3 nails it!” On top of this, the characters themselves were not really used to make the game more interesting, which I think was a huge oversight considering this is the only game where the cars and characters are one in the same.
CARS 3 DRIVEN TO WIN REVIEW IGN MOVIE
I’m not quite sure if the developers wanted to sidestep any spoilers before the third movie was released in theatres, but the lack of an actual storyline to this very popular Cars series is disappointing. Now, while it isn’t the worst story to ever grace the genre, it is definitely lacking what could have coincided with the third movie. The story follows McQueen’s training as he prepares to get back on the track, all the while listening to a bunch of tired digs from Chick Hicks. Now, Storm is a rookie to the cup, however, he is known to have broken all kinds of records and will be a huge challenge for champion Lightning McQueen.
Players begin the game with a little introduction, where it is being reported that Lightning McQueen will again be competing in the Piston Cup against Jackson Storm. Cars 3 nails the graphics, and has loads of content to play through, however, the voice-overs just aren’t on par with the movie and there is no real storyline, which is definitely disappointing.
If you’ve played any racing or Mario Kart game, you won’t be surprised by what’s in store for you here, especially if you’re looking for that charming Disney Pixar finesse. The new Cars movie has just been released in theatres, coming after a 6-year hiatus, and in celebration of the franchise, so is the latest racing adventure Cars 3: Driven to Win.
