    Cars 3: Driven to Win
    There’s a lot here, but none of its fun
    Driven to Win is a racing game inspired around the story of the Cars 3 movie where lightning McQueen is start to feel a bit old… Other than the opening scene, there is no actual story here, so if you’re looking to get the movie story here, you’re not going to get it… There surprisingly a lot here in Cars 3: Dirven to win    Cars 3: Driven to Win

    Driven to Win is a racing game inspired around the story of the Cars 3 movie where lightning McQueen is start to feel a bit old…
    Other than the opening scene, there is no actual story here, so if you’re looking to get the movie story here, you’re not going to get it…
    There surprisingly a lot here in Cars 3: Dirven to win
    There’s 22 characters to unlock, these local split screen multiplayer, 6 different event types, a cup series, customizations, and 21 tracks to unlock…
    The problem is this game is just not fun to play….
    Front and center is the straight up racing events... you choose the difficulty of the race and get to work…
    you can bump into other cars, drift, jump, and do tricks to fill up your speed boost and try to come out on top after 3 laps…
    then theres battle race which I feel should’ve really been front and center where its more smash bros style of racing but with pick ups to take out opponents at range. Stunt showcase where it’s all about getting the most air and doing the most tricks before time runs out, takedown which is sort of burnout inspired where you try to destroy as many cars as possible, best lap challenge which is a time challenge, and finally master level events.. these are essentially the games boss battles where you take on a cars character and try to best them at their own game
    All of these battles, cars, customizable, and tracks are unlocked by completing challenges..
    there are 136 challenges in total in this game for you to try and tackle during races and events such as stay on 2 wheels for 10 seconds or earn 3 stars on a certain track…
    These hall of fame challenges gives player incentive to try every mode and grind in them even if those modes aren’t really what’s fun to them… especially since they are tied to unlockable…
    I really do appreciate all this game has going for it and the amount of content here…
    The issue though isn’t in the racing itself.. It obviously isn’t in a lack of content...
    The issue is in the track design...
    These tracks are all insanely boring... and theyre long... some taking over 6 minutes to complete…
    They are varied though…
    There are shortcuts…
    But they all for the most part feel so uninspired and generic…
    None stuck with me...
    I’ll remember none of them in the future…
    They aren’t dynamic…
    There’s no great soundtrack to keep your heart pumping...
    It’s a dull experience throughout
    It just doesn’t feel like you’re racing...
    it feels like youre just driving around some boring tracks as fast as you can..
    It’s a very numbing experience…
    Don’t get me wrong... the content is here…
    You’ll easily putting in more than 10 hours trying to unlock everything and complete every challenge…
    But the driving and tracks aren’t interesting enough to make those 10 hours feel enjoyable…
    This racing game feels like busy work…
    And after 1 run through each track, you’ll never feel the urge to race them again

    Игра неплоха, первые 2 часа, потом, теряется интерес к игре.
    Не рекомендую брать, так как цена слишком высока для этой игры, дождитесь скидок.

    Reasonable for a racing game. Has a decent amount of characters, tracks and challenges but the tracks are still pretty repetitive and uninteresting to look at/drive on. the challenges themselves will keep you busy for a day at most and it can be fun to play against other people in the versus modes. However, the A.I for the opponent cars is either really stupid or really hard and no realReasonable for a racing game.

However, the A.I for the opponent cars is either really stupid or really hard and no real medium. The controls are a little unresponsive and clunky but still work okay and there is very little story or humour here at all. The only reason I have this game is because i was given it and only play so I can beat Storm and cruz as Lightning nonstop. That is it. I would much rather go back and play the other cars games instead of this.… Expand

    The variety of gamemodes is nice, but this game requires so much grinding in order to unlock new stages and cars, to the point where it gets boring.

    As for the car selection, unfortunately there is a lack of racing cars, there are so many old cars or dirty trucks, most of the cars just don't seem interesting.

    Final Rating: "Average" ~ 5/10.    … Expand

    Cars 3 driven to win is good, but not great. There are many flaws, one being that there are not many characters, the voice acting can be bad, poorly scripted the game also has AI's that can be extremely difficult, especially on medium. But this game clicks with me, I am a huge Cars fan so it might not work with you, but this is a super fun game. I am having so much fun playing this ICars 3 driven to win is good, but not great.

The graphics are pretty good and so is the lighting to it gives a much more immersive racing experience. This is a fun arcade game solo, or with friends.

    It’s a fun loving game that is colourful and a great way to get the kiddies involved with racing their favourite characters.

    Quality split-screen titles that bridge generation gaps are few and far between. Cars 3 achieves this, but it’s a bit of a tough sell for solo-only players. [September 2017, p75]

    Like its predecessor, Cars 3 is a decent tie-in that shouldn't have any trouble entertaining a younger audience, although it's a little hard to suggest the purchase to more expert gamers.
