Track events are altogether more entertaining, thanks in equal parts to their engaging variety and surprising nuance. Navigating the elaborate, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater-inspired area is nothing short of a cumbersome pain in the rear bumper. We were initially disappointed to discover what lay before us was a series of single events and cup tournaments, rather than an explorative adventure, but after sampling the latter in the unlockable Thomasville Playground mode, it became clear that Avalanche Software and Warner Bros. The simulation angle allows Driven to Win to draw from the entire Cars franchise, which caters to fans, but the lack of any overarching narrative doesn’t. The sparse opening framework sees Lightning McQueen and company poised to participate in a series of simulated races as part of TV show Chick’s Picks, with host Chick Hicks. Besides a brief introduction, the iconic cast of characters and locales are relegated to mere vehicles and tracks, just as you’d see in a conventional racer. Cars 3: Driven to Win, however, is a rare exception a good ol’ fashioned film tie-in that’s also legitimately fun.Ĭars 3 doesn’t use its license as a crutch, in fact, if anything, it underutilises it. The once-prominent film tie-in has been on the decline for a number of years now, which is largely considered a good thing, as shedding the often oppressive schedules has allowed licensed games to flourish.
