![]() As the PSP has only one analogue stick, there's no way of directing the camera, so instead the camera follows your car the best it can. The biggest issue with Cars 2 is the camera and unfortunately this issue is too big to miss. For example if you're in first place, obviously the rocket launcher won't do you any good, so you'll have more of a chance getting an oil spill gun which you can shoot behind you causing anyone up your tail to slip uncontrollably. Despite this, Cars 2 is very good at giving you the type of weapon you need for what place you're in. Most of the weapons are effective, like the rocket blaster, but there are a few that feel quite cumbersome - the machine gun instantly springs to mind. They can give you different weapons as well as turbo boosts There's a decent assortment, but as with most kart racing games, they're all randomized so you'll never know what you're going to get. It allows you to leap over obstacles and collect pickups. There's also the option to jump, a very useful ability in this game. Driving is very simplistic are you have one button to go and one button to brake. Not that a story is necessary for this kind of game, but it would have been nice to see some semblance of story brought over, or at least something that was more cohesive with the actual plot of the movie.Īlthough Cars 2 lacks in the story department, the gameplay is actually pretty good. The main cars from the film seem like they're supposed to be buddies, but during races they seem to throw that out the window and instead focus on completely annihilating everyone in their way not necessarily a good message for the kids. But aside from that there's no real connection between the cars. The only times you actually feel as though you're following a story is during the attack modes where you have to fight "lemon" cars who are followers of Professor Z. The opening titles offer a slight introduction to who the villain (Professor Zundapp) and the other Cars are, but nothing more. If you aren't already familiar with the premise of either of the Cars movies, attempting to follow the game is nearly impossible. Having said that, it doesn't turn out to be such a bad venture, but it's not perfect by any means. ![]() For that reason, it was rather surprising that Pixar green lit a sequel, let alone a second video game for the IP. The film came out right after The Incredibles and unfortunately suffered from being stuck in its shadow. Despite having all the same resources and budgets, Cars just doesn't seem to measure up to some other Pixar properties. ![]()
