Although the artwork in general contains only the amount of depth akin to a typical Pixar movie, there's plenty of detail to look at in your surroundings as it all whizzes by. I particularly enjoyed the European "London's Buckingham Sprint" and "Italy's Grand Tour". The tracks have quite a good level of variety in them, too. It's not a dramatic change like in a Motorstorm game (for example) but it's enough to make you carefully choose which vehicle you want to use depending on the type of race that you're playing. Although there are no stats displayed onscreen, it's clear that choosing the cutesy little forklift Guido as opposed to the bulky school bus Miss Fritter changes the physics as you race. The selection of 23 cars is nothing to sneeze at with each one looking and sounding very different from the next. This latest game in the series lets you pick from one of 23 vehicles modeled after the unique and colourful characters from the movie then jump into one of the 21 included tracks to race to the finish line. If you've ever played a kart racer then you'll know what to expect from Cars 3.

│ Mary has enjoyed many kinds of video games for decades and particularly likes detective games, racers, and RPGs.

Let's see if the latest entry in the game series (that happens to complement a brand new Cars movie) lives up to its predecessors. The previous Cars games were surprisingly fun and well put together.
