Introduction:
Journey beyond the film and experience an all-new adventure as Lightning McQueen, Cruz Ramirez, Jackson Storm, and other beloved characters! Master racing skills, mid-air tricks and combat techniques to prove you have what it takes to become the ULTIMATE CHAMPION. Similar to Mario Kart and other cartoony racing games.
Abbreviated Walkthrough:
There are a few different game modes you need to get through, but there is no order to them. Standard racing, battle race (like Mario Kart), Takedown (basically just destroy enemy cars repeatedly), Stunt racing (aerial tricks), Timed lap battles and Cup series. It matters not, what order you choose... so just pound through the races. You also need to go through 12 challenges in Playground mode.
Multiplayer:
You need to play several levels in multiplayer in order to unlock badges, which in turn will unlock 1 playable character. You don't need to do them or unlock the character, but you cant 100% the game without doing it.
Mop-Up:
You can select any mode and any level you want, at any time. Play through in any order... so there isn't much in the way of a mop up.
Conclusion:
Fairly fun, but it can be a bit repetitive. Multiplayer battlemode is fun with friends, but other than that... there isn't much replay value. There are some hard badge unlocks... which you need for 100% but it's doable with practice and patience. Make sure you are checking the Hall of Fame to see what badges (skill checks) you need to unlock by doing certain actions or completing races.
