I played as Fillmore the “burnt out” Volkswagen bus from the original film and raced split-screen against Chris who played as Luigi, the smaller Italian import who’s also making his return in Cars 2. I have played tons of cart racers and it didn’t feel like you had to re-learn anything to enjoy it which certainly isn’t a bad thing, nor did I feel like I was playing something that I couldn’t enjoy because I’m not under the age of 10. And that was pretty much the same way I felt during my play through. “We wanted to make a game where a parent who grew up on games like Mario Kart can enjoy this with their little ones and not feel like they’re playing something that’s watered down” John said as I battled it out with Chris Plante from The Daily.

Read on for a full hands-on preview.ĭuring a recent Disney Interactive press meet-up I had the chance of chatting it up with John Warner from Avalanche Studios, the developers for Cars 2. I had the opportunity to get some hands-on with Cars 2: The Video Game and came away impressed as it combines the charm of Pixar’s lovable characters with the best of what of a modern day cart racer should offer. And just like its successor, Cars 2 has also received the video game tie-in treatment. Its no surprise that a sequel would be inevitable following the blockbuster success of Disney’s and Pixar’s 2006 animated film Cars.
