Drifting, boosting, and blasting away opponents with items picked up on the track are features lifted straight from Nintendo's premiere racer. Similar to the king of cartoony racers, Cars 3 takes inspiration from Mario Kart's gameplay in several key ways. Voice acting also leaves much to be desired, the cast of the films are obviously absent but you'd think they could have gotten their hands on some talent that sounded a little closer to Owen Wilson. This game is obviously going to draw comparisons to Mario Kart, especially on the Switch, and it's a tall order to match the visuals of one of Nintendo's biggest titles.
While I can't speak to the quality on other consoles, the Nintendo Switch version of the game was far from pretty. While other screenshots of Cars 3 look gorgeous my experience on the Switch said otherwise. After a news interview hurts his pride, Lightning makes a point to prove that his glory days aren't behind him.
Opening up with a flashback brings back a cast of characters from the franchise while you'll follow the tale of the series' hero Lightning McQueen. Releasing alongside the new movie, Cars 3: Driven to Win doesn't have a focus on the story - though there is a plot shown off in the beginning - but the meat of the game is semi-competent gameplay.
Rather than looking like a lame movie cash-in, Avalanche Software's take on Cars seemed promising enough to rise about the run-of-the-mill "movie game." After spending a good chunk of time with the final product I'm disappointed to say that while Cars 3: Driven to Win is far from the bottom of the barrel it's certainly not an easy recommendation. When I saw the first trailer for Cars 3: Driven to Win I was definitely interested. Check out Kidzworlds review to see if this game goes for gold or sputters across the finish.
