I can do a more accurate “Ka-Chow” than whoever the voice actor is in this game, and that’s saying something with my broad Northern accent. It appears that the licence to produce a Cars 3 game didn’t include access to any of the voice talent, and so Lightning sounds like someone doing an impression of a drunk Owen Wilson down a bad mobile phone connection. As soon as Lightning opened his mouth, as he does whenever you pick him as a character, my son’s head snapped up… “That’s not Lightning, Daddy!”. These range from the new main rival, the all-electric Jackson Storm, to older characters pulled from racing history, from Doc’s vintage and even older.
There are a number of new characters as well that can be picked from the roster and unlocked as you progress in the game. So the graphics are obviously doing their job. My six year old son – who is acting as co-reviewer on this piece with me – was very excited by the visuals, shouting out the characters’ names as they appeared. Graphically this game is absolutely fine, the models of the Cars characters themselves are modelled impressively and look exactly as they should, right down to individual stickers on Lightning and rust patches on Mater. First impressions are good, with the attract sequence looking like it was ripped straight from the films.
