Cars 3: Driven To Win Review

Movie tie-ins never inspire much confidence in players who, too often, have been burned by mediocre games. So, most of the expectations for Cars 3: Driven to Win are probably very low. After all, this title was released specifically to cash in on Pixar’s release Car 3 and as such, it most likely won’t change the game when it comes to the racing genre. The real question is whether Avalanche Software has done enough to justify buying this game despite these problems.

Game

In the center, Cars 3: Driven to Win is a kart driver who plays in a similar style to Mario Kart. If you’ve ever played one of these games, you can grab this title and dive right into the action. Most of the controls have been simplified so that even small children shouldn’t have any problems. Actions such as accelerating, upgrading and firing weapons are all mapped to a button and are easy to understand. That’s not to say there isn’t any challenge for Driven to Win, though. A wide range of difficulty options mean you can tailor the game to the player’s abilities to make sure things don’t get too simple or difficult. As a result, Driven to Win is accessible to people of all abilities and no one should be left out.

A skill control system manages how content is unlocked and the player’s progress. There are more than 120 skill tests spread across the different modes. They can range from completing a race to performing certain actions a set number of times. After you’ve unlocked enough, you unlock a main event so you can take on a special opponent. Skill Tests can practically be unlocked as you see fit. As a result, you don’t feel frustrated by being stuck on a particular challenge for too long. You can just do a different check whenever you want.
