CARS 3: DRIVEN TO WIN

PS4, Xbox One & Nintendo Switch Price £49.99 lol.disney.com/cars-3-game To tie in with the cinematic release of the new Pixar animation film Cars 3, Disney have unveiled a family-friendly arcade game for consoles.

You can race online or in split-screen mode with up to four players, and can choose from as many as 20 different characters from the film franchise, including old favourites Lightning Mcqueen and Mater, plus new cars Jackson Storm and Cruz Ramirez.

Twenty different fictional tracks are available across 13 locations and can be used in up to six different game modes. They include a stunt showcase, a best-lap challenge and a battle race where players can gain power-ups and fire them at the opposition.

This game is much more along the lines of Mario Kart rather than Gran Turismo, but given the steering precision required on a joypad controller, this is one that’s perhaps better suited to older children.
