    As with Toy Story 3, Cars 2 is another great movie tie in to be enjoyed by kids. Obviously taking inspiration from Mario Kart, Disney Interactive gives a valiant effort in making a fun racing game. 4 player multiplayer is definately a major highlight.

    This is a great movie game. The graphics look almost as good as the movie and the gameplay is almost as good as the Mario Kart games. The difficulty is a bit harder though.

    Games like this are not really the best of games of games but cars 2 will appeal to any Mario kart fan. The graphics are nice and glossy and the game plays smoothly. There is no story at all to the game! There are however events to complete in around 6 different chapters. These events can be played in free play and include races, hunter, and time trial events and more.

There is no story at all to the game! There are however events to complete in around 6 different chapters. These events can be played in free play and include races, hunter, and time trial events and more. The game can get repetative but people can try to get some of the achievements which will also unlock secret cars. Multiplayer is quite good where you can fight with one another or in a team. Weapons are not the best compared to Mario kart but this is one of the best contendors for it and by far the best movie game this year. An overall score of a high 70 or low 80.… Expand

    Juego mucho mas divertido y solido que la película, que ya es mucho decir!!!
    Toma muchos elementos de la serie Mario Kart y al ser una pelicula del mismo genero lo hace muy bien y no es otro videojuego mal explotado de Pixar

    Pour une adaptation d'un film en jeu vidéo, on pouvait s'attendre au pire... mais ce n'est tout-à-fait le cas. Le jeu en reprend tous les avatars originaux à 4 roues, remuants et bavards, très bavards même avec une VF intégrale de bon aloi d'ailleurs.

Le jeu en reprend tous les avatars originaux à 4 roues, remuants et bavards, très bavards même avec une VF intégrale de bon aloi d'ailleurs. Il reprend aussi le choix éminemment discutable d'avoir placé les yeux des **** bolides dans le pare-brise... un choix imbécile puisque naturellement les phares sont les yeux d'une voiture et la calandre sa bouche, sa "gueule"... pas besoin de rajouter une "bouche" artificielle dans le pare-chocs qui plus est !

    Cela étant, le jeu est n'est pas vilain et assez bien réalisé ; il utilise à bon escient le principe des armes qu'on chope sur les circuits afin de déstabiliser ses adversaires ou de les ralentir. on remplit sa jauge de turbo via quelques "cascades" comme rouler sur 2 roues, sauter (!) ou bien rouler en marche arrière ! La conduite est bien évidemment ultra-arcade avec un bouton dédié pour "déraper"...

    Le souci -outre le fait que le jeu soit clairement destiné à un jeune public- concerne la répétitivité de ce genre de jeu ma foi très simpliste au cours duquel une lassitude patente s'installe plus ou moins rapidement. Le côté neuneu n'aide pas non plus à s'investir outre-mesure là-dedans... à moins d'être un peu demeuré à l'origine. Il faut dire que les films sont déjà assez bêbêtes comme ça et qu'un jeu sur ce thème ne s'imposait pas forcément.    … Expand

    Cars 2 easily is the worst Pixar movie, but with that comes a great game. I'm a huge fan of the Cars series, a huge fan of Cars 3 (which sadly has a game that doesn't look great) so when I saw this game for free on Xbox One, I got it not expecting much. I had it for a few days before I decided to play it. After I started, I literally couldn't stop.

I had such a fun time with this game, about as much fun as I had with Mario Kart Wii when I was little, which says a lot. Although it lacks a story, and an online mode, I personally don't care, because I don't think a lot of people play this game at the moment, respectfully. This game was for the Xbox 360, and I'm going to assume that it looked pretty good. But on Xbox One X, it looks even better. Doesn't have graphics that can be compared to games nowadays, but the graphics are great and I appreciate the effort here. Overall, I'm 14 and I am having a blast with this and I'm happy I got this.… Expand

    I would much rather watch my own children be cannibalized in front of my eyes multiple times and then die to a flamethrower blast than play this game once again ever in my life.

    I am a huge fan of racing games, and this one is by far one of my favorites of all time. I haven’t played it in years (because my copy broke), but I would play it again if given the option. With the movie being terrible, this game looks like gold!

    I find it very fun and with cool modes, the story is not interesting, but I believe that this was really not the focus of the game.

    The great fun is that you can play this with friends, but when you have nothing to do, finishing the campaign is not a bad thing.    … Expand

    As a racing game for kids this is ideal, with easy to pick up and play controls and a variety of fun modes. However, with the removal of the sandbox style areas there is not much depth on offer here and just playing the same missions or multiplayer modes over and over again will rapidly lose its appeal. As a movie tie-in this game is certainly fun while it lasts but do not expect it to hold your attention, or that of your kids if you deign to give them a go, for long. Cars 2 is more Ka-chow than Ka-ching, but not by much.

    Driving 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.

    It's not up to Mario Kart standards, but for a family get together it's an entertaining alternative that sits well with all ages.
