Cars

Drive as your favourite Cars character if you can.

Disney/Pixar Cars is a movie about a bunch of cars that act like humans. The first movie was okay, the second was terrible. This game is based on the first movie, and in it, you are supposed to win the Piston Cup as the up-and-coming racer called Lightning McQueen. The game mirrors the movie in many ways in that you play as the main character and have to work your way up to the big race whilst first visiting the small backwater town called Radiator Springs and the rest of Ornament Valley.

Visit The Cars Universe

When you get to Radiator Springs and Ornament Valley, you have to drive and race around and pick up Bolt icons and bonus points. If you are playing the full game, then you work your way up to the big race. If you are playing the demo, then it gives you a short and limited stay in Radiator Springs, where you get to do a little racing and bolt collecting.

You can race around with set races, and there are mini games to play too, plus there are collectable things that help improve your gameplay experience. You will meet characters from the movie too.

Drive As Your Favourite Cars Character “If You Can”

The reason it says, “If you can” is because many people say they cannot get it working. Some people using Windows 7 claim they can get it working with backwards compatibility. Other people claim you need a really good computer to actually play the game, but that is inconsistent with the fact the game can be played on computers built in 2002. The game is ideally suited for younger children. It will not impress racing-game fans, only the Cars franchise fans.

Gain Access To Other Cars

If you play the full version, you are given access to different types of cars, different races and a few mini games. With the demo, you get a feel for the game and get to take a trip around a race track. The game has sufficient effects to convince you that the car is moving quickly, and controlling the car is fairly fluid and easy. The demo has only one track and one car, and some people are complaining that the demo doesn’t work but that the game does.

• The demo is free
• You can get a feel for the game and racing style

Cons

• Doesn’t work for many computers
• Can be difficult to set up with regards to backwards compatibility
• Demo only has one car and one track
