Cars is a 2006 adventure racing game published by THQ. The game is based on the 2006 film of the same name. It was released for the PlayStation 2, GameCube, Xbox, Microsoft Windows, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, and PlayStation Portable in June 2006, with versions for the Xbox 360 and Wii released later that year. The Wii version includes functionality geared towards its Wii Remote controller and was a launch game for the system. Taking place after the events of the film, the player controls the protagonist Lightning McQueen as he participates in the new racing season with the end goal of winning the Piston Cup for the first time in his career, while also racing and training with the local community of Radiator Springs.
The console versions of the game are set in the fictional town of Radiator Springs, where it takes place after the movie. The game takes place in a open world in the vein of Need for Speed, Grand Theft Auto and Midnight Club. As the player progresses additional areas of the open world are unlocked. The player character begins in Radiator Springs, but later unlocks Ornament Valley and Tailfin Pass. Players primarily control Lightning McQueen, but on occasion control other characters in specific events or minigames. It features ten playable characters from the film, all voiced by the original voice talent.[1][2] The player must compete in 19 road races, eight mini-games, and five Piston Cup races to help Lightning McQueen win his first Piston Cup championship.
Races vary in format and include checkpoint races, circuit courses in the open world, and Piston Cup races. Additionally each format adjusts characters based on the situation. Piston Cup races include only Piston Cup racers and feature 20 cars. Circuit and checkpoint races feature characters from the open-world story. Additionally checkpoint races feature monster truck versions of characters. Multiplayer is available for two players in split-screen mode, and each of the standard races are available.
The game also features a number of minigames and items for the player to collect. Amongst the minigames are tractor tipping with Mater and a musical rhythm game featuring Ramone. Other minigames appear as events during races, such as Luigi's pit stops during Piston Cup races. Three additional minigames, Mater's Countdown Clean-Up, Mater's Speedy Circuit, and Ghosting Mater are exclusive to the Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii versions, which released over four months after the initial release. Collectables help to unlock characters, liveries and concept art.[3]
The PlayStation Portable, Game Boy Advance, and Nintendo DS versions differ from the primary release. In the PSP version, the player must compete several challenges to allow Lightning McQueen to claim Radiator Springs back from the Delinquent Road Hazards gang. These consist of 13 races, as well as five boss races. Six additional characters are playable on the PSP. The Nintendo DS version is played from a top-down perspective in races, and various other perspectives for minigames. It utilizes the handheld's touch controls. The Game Boy Advance version of the game is played from a fixed isometric perspective. While the camera keeps focus on the player character, it does not rotate with the character.
The story mode of the game is seen primarily via protagonist Lightning McQueen's perspective. The story progresses based on him completing various events to trigger the next major event, but due to the open-world nature players can complete minor events in any order. During the story players also take control of other characters such as Mater, Sally, and Sheriff for specific events.
The video game Cars is set shortly after the events of the first film. It begins with a playable dream sequence in which Lightning McQueen participates in a street race through Radiator Springs and the surrounding area. He is awakened by Sally, who informs him that Doc is waiting for him at Willy's Butte. Upon his arrival at the butte Doc gives McQueen lessons on how to perform a powerslide. With his lessons complete, McQueen heads to Flo's V8 Cafe, where he meets four new racers; two from England and two from Mexico. These characters challenge McQueen to exhibition races throughout the story. With his first exhibition race completed McQueen participates in some tractor tipping with Mater before heading to his first Piston Cup race at Palm Mile Speedway, which he wins.
When McQueen returns from his third victory he encounters the Delinquent Road Hazards trio, the tuner gang seen antagonizing Mack in the first film. The three challenge McQueen to a race through an abandoned mine, which they lose. Later Sally goes on a drive to the Wheel Well Motel, and McQueen is subsequently introduced to the Tailfin Pass area. Here he takes place in additional races and minigames in order to train for his final few Piston Cup races. Additionally McQueen participates in a monster truck race after being temporarily modified into a monster truck himself. Lightning and Mack head to the penultimate Piston Cup race at Smasherville International Speedway, but during the trip the Delinquent Road Hazards harass Mack and steals several of McQueen's parts. They are apprehended and McQueen learns that they were hired by Chick Hicks, McQueen's rival Piston Cup racer. McQueen wins his fourth Piston Cup race after confronting Hicks, who denies being involved.
The console versions feature the full voice-over cast from the film, including the likes of Owen Wilson, Michael Keaton, Paul Newman, and Larry the Cable Guy. However in the PlayStation Portable and Nintendo DS versions, Lightning McQueen is instead voiced by Keith Ferguson.[14] The game's soundtrack utilizes both orchestral and licensed music from the movie, as well as new tracks. Featured licensed tracks include Free Ride by The Edgar Winter Group, Rock This Town by the Stray Cats, What I Want by Autopilot Off, Come On, Let's Go as performed by Los Lobos, and Real Gone by Sheryl Crow, which makes a return from the film.
Cars received "mixed or average" reviews.[24][20][16][19][21] GameSpot gave 7.0 out of 10 for Xbox 360 and Wii versions, 7.6 out of 10 for the GameCube and Xbox versions, and 7.4 out of 10 for the PSP version.[50] Metacritic gave 65 out of 100 for the Wii version,[24] 54 out of 100 for the DS version,[16] 73 out of 100 for the PC version,[19] 71 out of 100 for the PlayStation 2 version,[20] and 70 out of 100 for the PSP version.[21] The PlayStation 2 and Nintendo DS releases of Cars each received a Platinum sales award from the Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA),[51] indicating sales of at least 300,000 copies per version in the United Kingdom.[52] It would also be added to the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable Greatest Hits, GameCube Player's Choice, Xbox Platinum Hits, and Xbox 360 Platinum Hits budget lines. In total, the game sold more than 8 million copies as of May 2007.[53]
The GBA version was criticized as being "the worst version of the game" because of its incredibly short length, zoomed-in camera, a lack of a multiplayer mode, and a lack of any depth.[citation needed]
Cars: The Video Game is a video game released on June 6th 2006 for the PC, Xbox, GameCube, GBA, PS2, DS, and PSP (and on the Wii and Xbox 360 a year later), based on Pixar's series and movie of the same name. The game takes place after the movie Cars, despite having been released prior. There were also planned to be PS3 and mobile versions, but they were cancelled due to development problems.
After Lightning wakes up from a daydream, he decides he is ready for his next Piston Cup season. Mack tells him that before he is ready for the big leagues again, he needs to get some practice in. His friends help him by teaching him many techniques such as how to powerslide, overcome obstacles, and keep up with speeders. While meeting with both newcomers and familiar faces, Lightning competes in several races and mini-games. Soon before his fourth big race, Chick Hicks meets up with a team of hooligans and tells them to steal all of Lightning's gear so that he is unable to race. After confronting Chick, Lightning challenges him to a three-race competition titled the Radiator Springs Grand Prix, which is hosted by Darrell Cartrip on the Racing Sports Network. After beating Chick 4-0, they challenge each other at the fifth and final Piston Cup race, which Lightning wins.
There are five chapters of the story, each one containing 4-8 events. There are three types of events - road races, minigames and Piston Cup races. In road races, players proceed through 3-lap races, each race open to 5 different contestants. To complete minigames, players must complete an objective, usually being collecting a given number of an object. There are five Piston Cup races, one at the end of each chapter. There are 12 laps, and up to 20 contestants. Halfway into the race, players must take a pit stop and a play a minigame in order to move on in the race. Once the game is completed, there is not much to do, other than to make sure you have obtained all 250 (or 177) trophies, and collect bonus points.
Arcade mode allows players to use any playable character they have unlocked so far on any event unlocked through story mode. Unlike story mode, each race's opponents are random. In the Xbox 360 and Wii versions of the game, there are three additional events only playable in arcade mode: Ghosting Mater, Mater's Speedy Circuit, and Mater's Countdown Cleanup.
In 2012, artist Mark Van Haitsma uploaded a collection of high-quality concept art and production stills showcasing his work on the game, to his ArtStation profile page.[1] A few of his models exhibit minor differences from their final in-game versions: Sonny's spoiler folds are seen pointing downwards instead of upwards, while Cortland's race car number is 4 instead of his final 191.
Additionally, while updating and re-tooling the game models and graphics for the Xbox 360 and Wii ports of the game, designer Jeff Garstecki created a brand new Piston Cup racer model, greatly resembling Claude Scruggs from Cars. While it was never used in the final game, Garstecki showcased a 360 view of the model in a 2017 YouTube video.[2]
