  • Cars 2 was a very poorly received movie, but that didn't stop Disney Interactive making a tie-in video game. But weirdly enough, it's actually pretty good! Let's find out why! And also take a look at it's other versions too

    The whole Queen only being playable in race mode isn't really censorship. It's more like a countermeasure. The Queen is the only DLC in the game that's free, so to balance it out (sadly) it's only available in the one race mode.

    The thing that jumps out at me 1st when it comes to cars as a racing game is how much personality is in each car. A lot of racing games don't pick up a lot of traction because every racer is hidden inside their car meaning you can't see their fun taunts when they do a trick.
    Meanwhile in Cars, the majority of characters are recognizable with fun personalities that are on full display because...they're literally the cars themselves lmao. Not only that but the backwards driving mechanic not only serves as a great reference to the movies and meshes well with the rest of the mechanics but also allows you to see your car's face way more often. How is a movie license tie-in game _this smart?!_

I had the Wii version, and it was one of the only video games I had for part of my childhood, and I loved getting to play it. I still think it holds up well and is probably the most comprehensive Cars game to date.

    While PC version is crap, what you didn't noticed...
    IS THE FACT THAT IT HAS MODS
    And if you thought that amount of characters in Cars 2 TVG on Xbox was huge, wait till you see modded amount of characters, it's just mindblowing.
    What's even more mindblowing, is that modders are basically on their way to port Xbox 360 graphics to PC port. It's not without it's flaws and pretty early, but very close to being possible.

    The PC port was apparently made by an obscure Chinese company that Disney bought for porting purposes (also it's less optimized, meaning emulating the Wii version, or even playing on the Wii, is the better option). Also, there's a 3DS version which, from what I've heard, is basically the DS version but slightly better.

    I had a blast playing this game on the ps3 when I was younger. I remember always wanting to buy one of the dlc characters, cause they had cool looking names in the garage, and I accidentally bought one by just looking at it, and pressing a few buttons. Unfortunately, I accidentally got like the lamest dlc. My parents weren’t TOO mad. There is also another reason to play the pc version: It has gained a rather large modding community overtime, and the mods are very well made nowadays. There’s several other characters that have been added with their own voice lines and models, and one guy even added an extra clearance level.

    Sure, we had the Mater's Tall Tale shorts, but those are just SHORTS, 3-7 minutes of Mater's light-hearted goofiness we've known since the first movie.
    Had Paul Newman's passing NOT skewed things over, I don't know if they would have had the opportunity to expand on Mater the way the final cut did.

    I think you should get the PC version again. There's a young modding scene starting to form, and I think it might be worth a video. There's even character mods, which means you can re-add all the DLC, and MORE. As for texture mods, there's currently one early mod that implements a few of the original HD textures on maps. To get more than that though, this game NEEDS to attract mod developers.

    Cars 2 the Video Game in concept could've just been a generic Mario Kart clone for the kiddies to get after seeing the movie for quick bucks but it did the opposite and turned out to be something that's a worthy alternative to Mario Kart for the whole family. I have the Wii version and it's my most played third party game on the console, I have fond memories of this one, big shame the PC version is just the Wii version upscaled given by the outsourced porting team's low effort, but hey at least there's the Arcade one which is an Xbox 360 hybrid and should've been the PC version.

    This was a fun game and yeah the PC graphics are terrible. although you can add the DLC characters with mods which I might do if I buy Cars 2 on PC. I also liked with battle races, attack, survival and hunter is that you can customize your weapon loadouts. That was one thing I didn't like about Cars 3 was a lackluster roster and no DLC for it.

    In my opinion the console version of the cars 2 game could’ve been better if it had a story mode that took you through the events of the movie like the DS version does

    I still don't get why mater is called hook in the german version. Like not even the german word for hook but literally just "hook". Why would they change his name
