Daily Joystick: Cars Race-O-Rama Review

Boosty from Daily Joystick writes; "Back when the original Cars game was released along side the movie release, many thought that it was another poor adaptation of the movie to game stigma that plagues these types of games releases. However, Cars was actually pretty decent in hindsight compared to what followed. Cars Mater National was a step backwards and now, Cars: Race-O-Rama takes another two steps back.

Looking back to the Animated Hi-Jinks of the Disney Pixar Cars Games

Paul writes: "If you are going to watch an animated film, it really has to be one of the Pixar ones, and the finest of those films that feature living automobiles is the Cars franchise.

A Look Back at Disney Games on PlayStation Handhelds

VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "There are few brands out there that have anything like the appeal and recognition of Disney. Thanks to decades of beautiful and critically acclaimed animated films, the company is a household name that has expanded beyond just movies to include a variety of other ventures, including videogames. Disney has also grown its lineup considerably in recent years by acquiring Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars (although for the purposes of this article, I’ll only be covering Disney/Pixar output).

Thanks to their broad audience, Disney games usually show up on every viable platform out there, meaning that despite the brand’s affinity with Nintendo’s younger-skewing audience, both the PSP and Vita received a number of titles throughout their lives.
