Synopsis :
Cars (also known as Cars: The Video Game) is an open world racing video game, based on the 2006 Pixar film of the same name. Developed by Rainbow Studios, it was released for the GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox, Microsoft Windows, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, and PSP in June 2006, with versions for the Xbox 360 and Wii released later that year. The Wii version, developed by Incinerator Games, includes functionality geared towards its Wii Remote controller, and was a launch game for the system.
Although releasing on GBA,NDS and PSP the games are completely different from the console counterparts
Taking place after the events of the film, the player controls the protagonist Lightning McQueen as he participates in the new racing season with the end goal of winning the Piston Cup for the first time in his career, while also racing and training with the local community of Radiator Springs. In the PSP version, the player again controls Lightning McQueen. After meeting and narrowly avoiding a collision with the Delinquent Road Hazards gang, he challenges them to a race to which they agree. The console versions feature the full voice-over cast from the film, including the likes of Owen Wilson, Michael Keaton, Paul Newman, and Larry the Cable Guy. However in the PSP and DS versions, Lightning McQueen is instead voiced by Keith Ferguson.
The home console and PC versions received positive reviews from critics, though the GBA version met negative reception, This may be due to it being at a strange angle and being hard to know where to go or what to do.This game was followed by two sequels; Cars Mater-National Championship during 2007 and Cars Race-O-Rama during 2009.
