I suspect that its underwhelming sales had something to do with being related to a film that many people simply didn’t connect with, because I refuse to believe that people didn’t enjoy it.Īfter looking to be doomed with Disney Infinity’s shock closure, Avalanche Software came back from the brink and has developed the new Cars 3 tie-in: Driven to Win. The Cars 2 game came along later and moved away from the open-world style, instead focusing on Mario Kart-style arcade racing, including battle racing, and I spent many an hour playing it at work during a particularly slow period. It also spawned a sequel of sorts in Cars: Mater-National, that was equally fun but underrated, and was ideal for kids. The original game was a great blend of open-world and various race events, really capturing the essence of Radiator Springs and its inhabitants. Now, the Cars videogames have traveled a different road to the films, but have largely been overlooked by the masses.
Returning to the world of motor racing and seeing Lightning McQueen still trying to compete against newer and more advanced machines, it seems as though Pixar listened to feedback and made the film that we arguably should have got in 2011. It was a decent watch and kids lapped it up, and I applaud Pixar for trying something different, but it was too far removed from the race car origins of the original and it seemed to be the end of the series.īut here we are in 2017 and Cars 3 has hit cinemas across the world. The sequel was greeted with much less enthusiasm, moving away from the race track and the sleepy town of Radiator Springs, into the world of espionage… for some reason. The first film was excellent a wonderful family film that extolled the virtues of friendship and humility, introducing us to the loveable Mater and, of course, Lightning McQueen.
