Critic Reviews for Cars 3: Driven to Win
Cars 3 Road to victory is a solid racing game. It lacks online multiplayer, but still, it has a lot of content and its many tracks and characters are a faithful adaptation of what we´ve seen in the movies. A game for everyone in the family.

Cars 3: Driven to Win is a fun and eclectic racer, and one that boasts plenty of content that'll keep fans of the films happy for many hours, especially younger gamers who may well overlook some of the flaws. It's a shame then that the game's poor performance, lack of polish and often unfair difficulty level make it that much harder to recommend to anyone else.
Cars 3: Driven to Win is a quite complete game with lots of content and great gameplay mechanics. However, the lack of an online mode and some graphical issues may affect negatively the experience.

Cars 3: Road to Win is a fun game to play with our children, using a Mario Kart style control, but simplifying it rightly. A good amount of hours of play to unlock all its contents make the purchase worthwhile if you have children fans of the Pixar film.

Despite nailing the Pixar look and offering loads of content, Cars 3: Driven to Win heads off-track because of its unforgiving difficulty.
Cars 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.That said, it hits top gear in some respects. Its gameplay mechanics are rather fun once grasped, there are a variety of modes and tracks to master, and despite its sidenote of a narrative it goes big on the film series' charms. Young gamers and fans of the films will likely get beyond its flaws and rather enjoy what it does well, and it comes across as a game that was pushed out the door early but, nevertheless, was developed with some pride. It's a bit of a 'banger' in car terms, but it has a good lick of paint and a good engine - one to pick up on a whim or at a discount, perhaps.
All 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.
Cars 3: Driven to Win is a surprisingly refreshing racing game. While it does come with a few speed bumps here and there, the novel approach to Cars 3's tie-in game is simply high-octane fun.
