Cars 3: Driven to Win Reviews
It's a fun loving game that is colourful and a great way to get the kiddies involved with racing their favourite characters
Cars 3: Driven to Win is a surprising treat. It has beautiful visuals mixed in with impressive gameplay design underneath the hood. It's not going to replace your Mario Karts of the world, but it certainly will keep you entertained, especially if you have young gamers in the household.
If you're looking for a new kart racer to add to your collection, you can't go wrong with 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 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.
Cars 3: Driven to Win is an excellent title that simply feels underappreciated. Especially for XB1 and PS4 owners who don't have access to the king of the genre. Even on Switch this is a solid purchase for fans young and old. Avalanche continues to prove they have the chops to make great games, sadly they never seem to get the recognition, or chance to really shine. Don't skip this game. It is more than worth the price of admission.
The bar of expectation was not set particularly high for Cars 3: Driven to Win, yet by focusing on the right things and not patronising its intended audience, the game is a surprisingly enjoyable racer that's a pleasure to handle.
Cars 3: Driven to Win proves that a movie licenced game can be a nice addition and true time stealer.

Cars 3: Driven to Win is a solid racing and karting game that will be perfect for the younger audience.
Great to see the fan service in this game.
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.

It would be really easy to phone in another "movie tie-in" money maker and do a really simple game that poorly handles and looks like mud. Thankfully this isn't the case with Cars 3: Driven to Win, it is a fun and interesting game with lots to do and a fun universe to do it in. As long as you can hear past the repetitive voice lines and the lack of online multiplayer. There's some fuel in this old engine yet.
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 nails the graphics, and has loads of content to play through, however the voice-overs just aren't on par to the movie and there is no real storyline, which is definitely disappointing.
Cars 3: Driven To Win is a surprisingly fun game with its simple but tight controls that makes the driving fun. It offers multiple type of gameplay modes including a battle mode. The game also support co-op making it an ideal choice for both kids and adults.
The content won't keep an adult interested for long, but add a child or two and watch them burn rubber.
I love being surprised by a video game and Cars 3: Driven to Win certainly did that. I had a lot of fun playing through the single player challenges and whilst I did grow tired of it quite quickly, the multiplayer modes kept me coming back for more. There’s no denying there are better racers out there, but if you’re a fan of simple arcadey racers or Disney Pixar’s Cars universe it might be worth taking a look at Cars 3: Driven to Win.
There's a very fun, albeit rather simple, racing game here. The decent variety in game modes keeps you from getting bored, though variation between the characters' stats would have been welcome. Some of the challenges in the Hall of Fame are actually quite difficult, so there's content to move towards regardless of your skill with racing games. That said, this isn't really a title for diehard fans of very realistic driving games, for obvious reasons.
Cars 3: Driven To Win is a good alternative if you are fed up with Mario Kart 8. However, at £63 (absurd current Amazon UK pricing!) it's hard to recommend right now when it is considerably cheaper on other platforms.
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.
