Most of the original voice actors from the franchise don’t appear in-game, but there are a whopping 23 characters pulled straight from the movies for players to clamber inside of, so to speak. The game doesn’t have the depth or the boundless charm of, say, Mario Kart, but it’s a fun diversion for the legions of children still enamoured with the adventures of Lightning McQueen and his love of all things full-throttled. Cars 3 was very much the movie to get the franchise back on track after the disappointment of Cars 2, prompting a surprisingly above-average tie-in in the form of Driven to Win. Of all the Pixar franchises to transfer into fully-fledged video game adaptations, Cars was perhaps the most logical transposition of all. Platform(s): Nintendo Switch, PS3, PS4, Wii U, Xbox 360, Xbox One Non-violent (usually), high-octane and perfect for family fun, karters and racers are ideal entry point titles for kids just embarking on a long journey through the digital realm. Racing games are pretty safe ground, though.
With such a glut of content out there, much of which can be exploitative, inappropriate or just downright rubbish, it’s hard for parents to know exactly what titles their kids should be playing and which ones they shouldn’t. With gaming so ubiquitous and consoles as much of a mainstay in most family homes as the TV, the cooker or the cat, it’s practically impossible to keep the youngsters away from the weird and wonderful world of gaming.
It can be hard being a parent in this day and age.
