Race to the finish line as you live all the fun and excitement of the next Walt Disney Pictures presentation of a Pixar Animation Studios film, "Cars." Play as all your favorite characters as you help Lightning McQueen capture the coveted Piston Cup Championship.

From the Contributor:

As a fan of the movie this game was an easy purchase at $20 just to see how it compared to the stunning visuals in the theater. It was a pleasant surprise to see that great care had been taken in making a very nice environment that captures the feel of Radiator Springs. Gameplay is very light, racing isn't difficult though some of the minigames suffer from bad camera angles.

To do this just cruise along and tap the left mouse button to yank the emergency brake. This along with a slight movement (dependant on mouse sensitivity) of the mouse will initiate a power slide. Now aim your car in the direction you want to go and tap the right mouse button to turn on your traction control. With this set up you can spin 360's, 180's, or whatever turn you want and control it perfectly. If you are in 1st gear pressing left mouse button once along with a slight movement of the mouse will initiate a burnout.

I hope that everyone who plays the game can appreciate the beauty of this setup. It allows you to make increadibly precise turns without having perfect timing, although some timing is still required. It is somewhat hard to explain the control but the best way I can explain it is powerslide aim you car in the direction you want to go and wait for the car to get to the turn and then press the right mouse button. The car will not break from it's previous momentum until you either press the right mouse button or are going pretty slow.

Besides plain old race event there are Road Rage event, where the main goal is to take down as many opponents as possible, Burning Lap, which is a race against clock, Eliminator, where after every lap last place is eliminated, Grand Prix, and more. Wreck the traffic in Crash Mode, or challenge your friends in multiplayer mode.
