In Takedown, you pick up weapons but you’re the only one on the track. Battle Races are similar to standard races, but now weapon pickups are scattered about the track, giving this mode a more “Mario Kart” feel. Game modes include standard races, where the only thing you have to concentrate on is filling your turbo meter to beat the other cars. Most of the tracks are new, but there are some from previous Cars games as well. One of the best parts about the game are the tons of tracks and game modes you can choose from. The controls sound complicated, but they’re really not once you get used to them. If all four meters are full, you can double tap that button to be ‘In the Zone” which lets you crash into opponents without slowing down, and you get a longer turbo boost as well. When you have a slot of your turbo meter full, you can press a button for a speed boost. Why would you want to do that? Well, on certain parts of the track, if you do stunts like that, you’ll make your turbo meter go up faster. By flicking the R stick in certain directions, you can perform stunts like side bashing other cars, driving backwards, or on two wheels. The face buttons allow you to jump, use weapons or a turbo boost, and drift. The L stick and L2 and R2 buttons are for steering, braking, and accelerating.

You’ll use nearly every button on the controller to steer around the tracks. Heck, you can even be Mack the truck or Guido the forklift! Some of the racers you may have to unlock first, though.

Race as Lightning, Mater, Jackson Storm, Miss Fritter, Smokey, and other classic competitors. Races are hosted by Chick Hick’s TV show, and you can choose from dozens of characters.

All the cars are now friendly rivals and just want to race each other, win trophies, and have fun. The game really doesn’t follow the plot of the recent movie, but takes place after it.

Cars 3: Driven to Win is available on nearly all current game consoles, but reviewed on PS4 here. Play as Lighting McQueen, Jackson Storm, Mater, and many more in a plethora of racing events. Cars 3 is driving around theaters this summer and now you can cruise around with the characters in the Cars 3: Driven to Win racing game.
