![]() There are several different control schemes that can be used, depending on what iteration of the game the player is playing.

Players were able to discover a new world beyond Radiator Springs with Mater, Fillmore, Sarge and others as they gain rewards in the video game and then use them to unlock new items in the World of Cars Online. This game is overall very different from previous games in the series, instead of being a free-roaming experience with an open-world Radiator Springs map, this game is more linear, with set missions to complete with no extra mini-games, with the controls feeling more like a kart racer similar to Mario Kart, as opposed to the more realistic and grounded controls of previous games feeling more similar to the Forza games.Ĭars 2 used to feature connectivity with the World of Cars Online – a free-to-play browser-based, virtual world based on the hit Pixar animated Cars world. As part of their international training, players can participate in simulated hazardous missions using high-tech gadgets to evade and slow down adversaries. This would have been cool for us older gamers, but I can understand where Disney is coming from in leaving it out.Up to four players can race in the game, which players can choose from more than 20 different characters and train to become world class spies. It's not surprising with Disney's kid-friendly focus that Cars 2 doesn't feature online play. With the exception of Lightning and Finn McMissile, pretty much all of the other characters have their true voices, and each character has a collection of unique comments and taunts that help add to the atmosphere. This is helped along by the fact that many of the actors who voiced the characters on the big screen also voice the characters in the game. ![]() Another nice touch is that during all of the modes, you can see your car's face in the upper left corner, so even though you're staring at their backside most of the time, you still get the feeling that you're playing as one of the characters from the film. You can tell that Avalanche works closely with Pixar in the little details, like how the cars lift their tires to turn and move their entire bodies in expressions. You're told what place you're currently in, but it would have been nice to have a mini-map of sorts that showed you just how far behind or ahead you are. Another minor flaw is the lack of knowledge you have of your position in a race relative to the finish line and other players. Thankfully, the game supports multiplayer in all modes, meaning you can unlock all the characters and tracks (of which there are many) by playing multiplayer. Racing by yourself just isn't as fun as with others. But that also brings me to the game's biggest fault. I had a blast racing against some of my fellow editors or blowing them to bits in the deathmatch-style arena mode. These tricks include in-air flips and spins, driving on two wheels, and driving backwards (with the controls reversed appropriately.)You can also forcefully side-swipe opponents to force them off the track. Besides using weapons, you can also perform tricks in Cars 2 to build up your turbo boost meter. ![]() If you can look past the kiddie license, you'll find a racer that's super easy to pick up and play, but a bit more complicated to master. With easy drop-in and drop-out local multiplayer for up to four players, Cars 2 should have many a family having fun together. Different modes have you hunting down enemies in a vast arena, or competing in teams in a capture the flag-style set-up. You're also doing more than racing in Cars 2. ![]() But instead of turtle shells and banana peels, you're using real weapons like machine guns and rocket launchers. Cars 2 is a kart racer that takes more than a little inspiration from Mario Kart and is just as fun. agent by completing simulations of races and other driving tasks, and that's basically it. You're taken behind the scenes to be trained as a C.H.R.O.M.E. There really isn't a story in the Cars 2 game. The console versions of Cars 2 leave the story-telling to the masters at Pixar, and instead focus on making a game that's related to the story, but not bogged down by it. Play In Cars 2 (the film) Lightning McQueen travels around the globe to race in the World Grand Prix, while some agents from Command Headquarters for Recon Operations & Motorized Espionage (C.H.R.O.M.E) are trying to get to the bottom of an evil plot.
