It’s clearly a game aimed at fans of the series (read: a younger audience) so why it’s this difficult is beyond me. Easy mode is actually not that easy, but it’ll at least let you get your first few wins in. You can never get far enough ahead to feel comfortable, and in battle races you’ll need to save boost for the last stretch to get first place. Seriously, even on medium the rubber-banding is a nightmare. Taking to the track as Lightning McQueen or Guido (there are loads of unlockable cars but let’s face it if you’re not racing as McQueen or the fantastic Guido, what’s the point in racing at all) you can jump and do tricks, boost, drive backwards, go on two wheels, and in some cases even use power-ups to smash your opponents to pieces.Īll of the tricks will build your turbo, and you’ll need that to win a race because this game is really hard. Initial impressions are that of a bizarrely off-brand Mario Kart-like game, but Cars 3: Driven to Win is something different entirely. Secondly, and this ties very closely into my first point: it can even be pretty decent, sometimes. Yeah, you heard: a movie tie-in that’s not a blight on the gaming landscape. It’s surprising for two main reasons: firstly, it’s not terrible.
Regardless, none of this ambivalence towards the greater narrative stops Cars 3: Driven to Win from being a surprising game. Lightning McQueen is a cool guy (car?) without question, but I only vaguely remember the second movie, while the third seems like milking it a bit.
To be honest with you, I won’t pretend I’ve kept up with all the minutiae and deep lore contained within the Cars universe.
