Sep 16, 2011Driving in Cars 2 feels fantastic, and the somewhat original mechanics offer an experience you'll not find elsewhere. It's definitely more engaging in multiplayer however, and I'd recommend you play it with at least one other person.

Playstation Official Magazine UKAug 14, 2011The shooty racing is good, clean fun. [Sept 2011, p.112]
-
Jul 29, 2011A decent enough racing game that should please the younger gamers.
-
Jul 25, 2011The course design is perhaps a little bit too traditional and reserved given the somewhat over the top racing and weaponry, but it's all nicely rooted in the Cars universe so Pixar fans will lap up the fan service.
-
Jul 25, 2011Cars 2 shows us that a game based on a movie isn't always bad. Both young and old will be entertained with all of the different modes and cars. But we just can't wrap our head around the fact that there isn't an online multiplayer available.

Jul 21, 2011If you want a genuinely ambitious video game based on a movie license, check out Toy Story 3. If, however, you or a family member really loves Lightning McQueen and the movie's cast of characters, this simple but fun arcade racer won't disappoint.

Jul 18, 2011Another victim of the "Ancient Tie-in Curse"? Not this time. Despite the lack of online multiplayer, Cars 2 is a satisfying arcade racing game with a lot of fuel down the engine.
-
Jul 11, 2011A game that is enjoyable for the whole family, from the smallest to largest. A tie-in that captures perfectly the style of Cars universe. The only flaw is the lack of online, which could affect the longevity.

Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)Jul 1, 2011Based on the new Pixar film, it's an accessible racer with a distinct Crash Team Racing aftertaste. [Aug 2011, p.83]
-
Jun 22, 2011This is sort of a mixed bag. Younger players will find lots to do here while more experienced players might find the career to be a bit tedious later on.
-
Games Master UKSep 8, 2011Sluggish but sweet. The perfect choice for some parent/child split screen bonding. [Oct 2011, p.85]
-
Play UKAug 9, 2011Don't let the license fool you: this is actually an enjoyable racing game that will appeal to all. [Issue#208, p.92]

Jul 6, 2011Avalanche did a commendable job capturing the feel of the animated film, while piling in enough game modes to make Cars 2 feel like a "real game" and not a throwaway licensed money grab.
-
Jul 12, 2011Cars 2: The Video Game is all about racing on circuits and to win by irritating other players with different weapons and more. It is fun for the younger gamers, but the difficulty can be really easy and hard at the same time. There isn't a real balance and the speed of some cars are pretty low.
-
Aug 1, 2011Cars 2 is no Mario Kart-killer, but it's an okay game for us who don't have the Wii and Marios cart-racer. The game is challenging, has a good turbo-system and is great fun when played with a couple of friends.
