I originally played it on the GameCube back when it first game out, and I must've spent hours just driving around Radiator Springs, ramming through the NPC cars and seeing how closely I could replicate the Lightning vs. Doc Hudson race around the dirt…”
— a player, Steam review · 2 hrs played“As a Cars Movie fan, I HIGHLY recommend this game.
