Cars : The VideogameReviewed by Leland Bonaparte
After watching the movie I fell in love with the characters. The game is just as good. You play as Lightening McQueen, and winning the Piston Cup Championship is your main objective. All of Radiator Springs will be there to cheer you on! The first thing you may notice in this game is the graphics. Cars has some of the most beautiful graphics that I've seen on the 360. The attention to detail on the characters is on point, while the background scenery looks amazing and brought back memories of the movie. Controlling the camera gave a lot of different looks. The voices are not too bad. Overall they sound pretty much the same, and the many one-liners keep it funny. The controls are very user friendly and comfortable. If my wife can control Lightning McQueen, anyone can. Powersliding is very fun and will give you the passing power around curves. Don't be afraid to use the boost as it will refill while racing. As long as you get the lead and maintain, you should have no problems. The music in the game are awesome. They bring back some of the old classic songs. Bonus content is one of the best features in Cars. As you win races, you perform tricks and cool moves for which you will be awarded points. With enough points you will be able to unlock characters, movies clips, art and paintjobs. Driving around town you can find lightning bolts to get bonus points. There are also a lot of mini games to keep you busy. Screenshots. Courtesy of THQ. (click image to enlarge) :

Hardcore gamers can stick to Need for Speed and Burnout… I like Cars. There are over 10 playable characters and 30 races to keep you entertained. Kids and adults alike (including my wife) will love the game play and will relive the movie experience. With all of the violent games out there, it is nice to have something that the whole family can play.
