It’s not necessarily a resounding victory lap for Lightning McQueen, but he’s certainly still far from retirement. Many will still find getting behind the wheel in Cars 3: Driven to Win to be an entertaining ride, but to forever linger in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe‘s shadow, this is a game that is more suited to those that love the world of Cars and want to extend their time with it beyond the movie.
Alex Seedhouse · Nov 20, 2017 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewCars 3: Driven to Win isn’t really a bad game. It can be fairly enjoyable in short bursts, especially in co-op. At the same time, however, it’s not what I’d call a good game either. It’s decidedly average, chock full of content and variety, but let down by being prescriptive, uneven in difficulty and quite frankly, a bit dull.
Rich · Jul 20, 2017 Reviewed on XB1Read full reviewCars 3: Driven to Win falls for some of the pitfalls that are expected of a game released to coincide with a movie's arrival in theatres. Rather rushed, rough around the edges and with minor but persistent annoyances, older players will certainly recognise the symptoms.
Thomas Whitehead · Jul 10, 2017 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewCars 3: Driven to Win is an excellent title that simply feels underappreciated. Especially for XB1 and PS4 owners who don’t have access to the king of the genre. Even on Switch this is a solid purchase for fans young and old. Avalanche continues to prove they have the chops to make great games, sadly they never seem to get the recognition, or chance to really shine. Don’t skip this game. It is more than worth the price of admission.
Ken McKown · Jun 28, 2017 Reviewed on XB1Read full reviewOverall Cars 3 is a great example of good family fun, however, Avalanche Software and Warner Bros. make a few missteps that ultimately take away from what makes the movies so awesome. If the aim of the game was to make it feel just like the movie, it falls short, however, if the intention was to take a Mario Kart style title and turn it into a Disney Pixar production, Cars 3 nails it!
Erin Castillo · Jun 26, 2017 Reviewed on XB1Read full reviewAll in all, Cars 3: Driven to Win is one of the better titles in a sea of movie tie-ins. You won’t find any groundbreaking stuff here, but the game is definitively above average for what it is, and an easy kart racing recommendation for families. I don’t know if I could necessarily recommend it right now with it’s $60 price tag, but if you see this game discounted even by $10, it’s definitely worth picking up.
Tanner Pierce · Jun 21, 2017 Reviewed on PS4Read full reviewCars 3: Driven to Win is a really good game, for a movie tie-in racing game. I came across no bugs or random crashes, the graphics make things look just like the movies, and the races are fun to do. Even if you play as an adult to entertain the little Cars fans till they are older. It's a fun way to see Lightning McQueen or any other of their favorites racing about and making silly faces.
Anna Duncan · Sep 24, 2018 Reviewed on PS4Read full reviewFans of the series will no doubt find enjoyment in the company of Lightning and friends, although we were left feeling disappointed that they didn't push the boat out a little further and make Cars 3: Driven to Win the definitive video game accompaniment, not just of the this one movie, but of the whole Cars franchise.
Mike Holmes · Jul 29, 2017 Reviewed on PS4, XB1, Switch, PS3, X360, Wii URead full reviewDespite what seems like a sincere attempt at trying to stray away from the typical licensed game pitfalls at first, Cars 3: Driven to Win strays off course almost immediately and winds up just another disappointing movie tie-in. The amount of content packaged in almost feels illusory at times, as the presentation gives the impression of a deeper experience.
Renan Fontes · Jul 27, 2017 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewUp against Mario Kart 8 Deluxe of course Cars 3: Driven to Win comes up short, but on its own merits, despite a few technical issues, it’s an alright time for all ages if found at the right price.
