It’s like playing Ski Electrics with licensed Cars toys while somebody rolls a string of pleasant landscapes in the background. Booting up Cars 2 you would be forgiven if you thought you were about to play some kind of kart-racer. If I had to jumble around in my personal bag of generic lexicon to assign a category to Cars 2 I’d have to take two words and mash them into a strange new term. If you want a gift for a younger relative who loved the movie, or are a child gamer yourself with a reading comprehension level far beyond your years, Cars 2 might be worth the purchase. The visuals are bright and crisp on the PSPs huge back-lit screen and there’s enough challenge levels and for an obsessive child to get some good mileage out of the game, despite the hand-holding nature of the gameplay.
The interaction is minimal, for sure, but there’s just enough of it to endear itself to the novice gamer. While the mechanics are bound to leave anyone but kids uninterested they actually work as a point in the games favour for younger players. From then on the plot – and I use the word in the loosest sense of the word – takes a backseat to the low input gameplay.

None of the family-friendly spoof spy movie stuff from the film makes it through to this game though, so the games only link to Pixar’s franchise is a visual one. Essentially the Cars gang are having fun on the new C.H.R.O.M.E simulation machine, allowing them to take part in all kinds of virtual challenges. The game opens with a truly endearing little FMV starring characters from the movie and serves as a framing device for the games various challenge levels. So how might the intended audience receive the title?

The primary demographic probably only cares that this is licensed Cars material and the titles launch in time for the re-focused PSP E-1000 only serves to validate this thought. Ok, certainly I’m not the person this game is aimed at. Is this something to celebrate or something to be wholly apathetic about? Read what’s hot and what’s not to find out… HOT However with the E-1000 imminent Sony have chosen to resurrect the game. Cars 2 was seemingly cancelled a while back with gamers missing out on a PSP representative of the Cars 2 game. With the PSP Vita on the horizon and the original PSP fading into obscurity Sony seems to be going for a younger target audience with their stripped down, budget version of the console, the PSP E-1000.
