Our whole family has been looking forward to the release of the latest Disney Pixar movie, Cars 3. We are Disney fans and we all love the Cars movies so I was so excited to be selected to review the newest WB Game, Cars 3: Driven to Win featuring well-known and loved characters plus some new ones also!

With kids ranging from 7 years all the way up to 23 years old, we've had our share of video game play. We popped in this new game yesterday and our 7-year-old played it tirelessly, of course! He loves being able to play with his sister, but his favorite thing is being different characters from the movie. He says, "It is awesome!" Our 8-year old daughter said, "I love learning new tricks and beating my brother!" 

Our 7-year-old loves the Battle Mode where he can shoot projectiles at other cars to knock them off the track. He especially loved it when he hit is dad's car and passed him during the race.

Our 23-year-old said, "I thought this was a kid's game? It's hard!" With 3 difficulty levels, this game can be challenging for all ages. The game offers play for up to four players at a time.

The game includes some great backdrop scenery for race action which includes Radiator Springs, Florida International Speedway, and a fun demolition derby track, all featured in the new movie. It's so realistic looking, it's awesome!

Here's a few short video clips of the game:

With 21 tracks and 22 characters to unlock, 6 different event types, a cup series, and customizations, Cars 3: Driven to Win is sure to be a popular family game this summer. 

Players will master their driving skills for the ultimate competitive racing experience. Players learn and advance their skills and abilities through six thrilling game modes, unlocking new modes, tracks, and characters. 

Game modes include Stunt Showcase where gamers perform tricks to get the highest score, Takedown where players use power-ups to eliminate as many crash karts as possible, Battle Race where you get to race against friends, Race and Best Lap Challenge. Definitely fun for all!

Cars 3: Driven to Win is available now on PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Wii U.
