Fun fact: Considering this game was released three days before the movie was released in theaters, this means Lightning Mcqueen technically is a videogame character.
And I guess that also makes Cars the best video game movie ever made lol
Meaning that Lightning McQueen is eligible to be a playable character in Smash bros
@@Daniel_95 what would his moveset be
@maddox *d r i v e*
@@YoungMrBlue fair point.
That DVD menu took me right back to 2006
I think “Lightning Strikes Back” is my favourite mini game because it really captures how McQueen has changed as a character, going out of his way to go on the interstate to track the delinquent road hazards down because they messed with one of friends, and I honestly think it’s one of the few times we’ve seen him really pissed off, driving down a busy interstate and getting his things back, and the music in the minigame reflects that as well.
I love how Disney in this era would actually put genuine effort into their tie in games movie tie ins nowadays just aren’t the same anymore
From what I can tell they just don't happen much at all anymore
If I had a nickel for everytime a Thomas RUclipsr had an hour long video on something from the card franchise where they fell off at Thomas for a bit and watched cars to the point of where they could recite it word-for-word, I'd have two nickels, which isn't much, but it's weird that it happens twice.
I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of this meme
I especially thought it was hilarious that Unlucky Tug tried to use this joke again for Toby in season 10, but immediately decided it wasn’t worth it. 😂
I’m pretty sure that even the creators of Phineas & Ferb knew that the “nickel” joke would only be a one hit wonder.
@@SrMechaGojira93 unlucky tug also used it in the season 9 one for toby breaking his cowcatchers
so i guess if i had a nickel for every time unlucky tug used it for something toby does in the thomas retrospective, i'd have two nickels... blah blah blah
It is crazy that i know what your are talking about.
I did not just learn from this review after so many years that Michael Keaton voiced Chick Hicks
I have that game for XBOX and let me tell you, the Tractor Tipping minigame used to scare the living Jesus out of me
It's even scarier on the DS version where Frank outright jump scares you when you get caught!
Slender the eight pages before Slender the eight pages
I was scared of Frank when I was little and I despite being an adult and watching game plays of tractor tipping. I still can't get past level 2
Cars is actually a good franchise and I will die on that hill
May I join you on that hill?
In particular I would like to defend Cars 2. It’s nowhere near as terrible as many make it out to be.
Cars 2 was good too idc
So will i
Cars 3 is another woke bs movie.
@@MrBossFML I love cars 2 for how stupid it is
I take it you have McQueen in the Dinoco paint job by two things, 1: He could've had that sponsor from the movie instead of giving it up, 2: He just looks cool in Dinoco blue.
You are correct with the second one lol
Blue is an awesome colour on McQueen
Always took the Dinoco paint for myself too. Glad to see I am not the only one.
I didn’t get this game until a few years ago, but I constantly saw an advert for it on the Cars DVD I watched endlessly growing up. My childhood game was the Wii version of Cars 2, which I still enjoy to this day it’s it’s a really enjoyable tie in game. I still love Cars 2 as a film to this day too, and I’ll never understand why people hate it so much.
I feel ya there man. The younger years of my childhood wasn't Cars 2 on my Wii, however, it was Maternational and Race-O-Rama, which are bangers themselves.
10:55 Megamind’s video games also featured an unused concept from the film in the form of the Doom Syndicate, repurposed as new villains for Megamind to take care of now that he’s Metrocity’s newest hero.
And just like this game, the games were a better sequel than the “actual” sequel.
IKR! I wish this was adapted into the real Cars 2!
At least we got Cars 3 in the end plus as much as it's bizarre, I do like cars 2 even if it's dumb asf and just baffling
Megamind So-called sequel is actually not a sequel but it’s a TV series
@@BBK113I love Cars 2!
@@JosephRailwayStudios2000 a BAD TV series
2:15-2:49 Luke, we need a dub of Cars from you asap lmao
I could- and still can- give a carbon copy voice impression of Mater. You could apply a blindfold, listen to my voice impression and think you heard Larry the Cable Guy. Bearing this in mind, I entered a summer program for teens, which had a talent contest. I gave a voice impression of Mater with a friend named Emily (just friend) as Lightning McQueen. We ended up winning the contest. Thanks CARS
I haven’t watch the whole video, but just seeing you review a non Thomas content is something I love to see. Cars the video game is pretty nostalgia to me, and remember playing it and exploring the hub world for hours with the calming music to add up.
This is a great retrospective on the game, and props to everyone who work on it
as I guy who probably spent the most amount of time playing this game i'd like to say that this is a really good review. Like, actually good. Can't really say anything bad about it beside the fact that Cars TVG has a pretty unique physics and glitches around them (and not only) that make it kind of a sandbox game. It's really fun to mess around with physics glitches like double jump, powerslide boosting, tilt sliding and other wacky things. In a speedrun u, especially 100% u can collect postcards in such a unique way it never gets old. Same with wacky stuff in mini-games like the tractor tipping jump and etc.
Probs one of the things I'd like to mention is that compared to other cars games the world does not feel flat. This is the thing I hated in MN and ROR (in some parts), but in TVG it's just a good world u know?
Also, fun fact: the world was originally planned to be merged with Radiator Spring and Ornament Valley being one area (and that's why OV feels so stale), but the scrapped that idea probably cuz of ps2 or smt, I don't really know. The source of it is that: 1. they share the same scene in games files (RS scene files contains OV scene files inside of it); 2. if u drive in RS to the cliff postcards and look to the OV u will see that there're postcards located in unloaded area, in the same places as if you were in OV. U can grab them (from the RS) and they will not appear in OV's real area if u check their placement after getting them.
Anyways good review! Thanks for covering literally the smallest parts of the game :D
I don’t have a funny LMAO comment to say this time around, so instead I’ll just say thank you for the shout out. I’m glad I could be a part of this video in some way, shape or form!
Pause at 47:29 is that a little teaser trailer for series 11 of Thomas & Friends.
Hey folks, a couple things I forgot to add in my section, I kept if brief as I didn’t want to make this already long video, even longer.
Here’s some details I neglected;
Story is essentially the same as the console counterpart, just with select side characters neglected. Nothing really interesting to discuss there.
The environment sucks. As you noticed, outside of piston cup races, there’s only one biome type. DESERT. Nothing in the beautiful woods of Tailfin Pass. The tracks also all look identical aside from the shape of the road.
Lastly, for those of you wondering about the DS version……………
Don’t. It’s a mini-game compilation.
I also want to say, I love the console version. My thoughts on it are pretty much the same as everyone else’s here. Simply a superb experience.
Oh crap, I just remembered being an American, nobody in other countries can actually play NASCAR games. They don’t exist there. RIP.
Thanks again for having me here Luke! Was an absolute pleasure to help you on this.
1:33 BEST MOVIE INTRO EVER!
This game will always have a special place in my heart, the soundtrack, story and their willingness to stay true to the film... And the end tune seeing the piston cup next to Doc's three always leads to a tear in my eye
Noticed that nobody talked about the DS version.
Or the PSP version for that matter
Ima be honest I haven’t played cars since I was 4 and I’m 16 now so this video will definitely be nostalgic
39:23 go back and play simply for this
The Cars video games were a lot of fun to play. For a Pixar movie that is all about cars racing, it is translated perfectly into the video game medium. I used to play 3 cars game growing up, Cars on both the GameCube & Wii, Cars Race-O-Rama (which i liked even better), and Cars 2 (which I didn’t think it’s as good as the previous Cars games). As a kid, I’d played both Cars & Race O Rama religiously as I’m very determined to beat both games, which I did. I’d completed both games a couple times from my sheer determination to win in many races and mini games in the process of the story. And unlocking two other maps, Ornament Valley and Tailfin Pass. I was a plucky kid.
My favourite part is that I can explore an open world of Cars by driving around Radiator Springs, Tailfin Pass, and Ornament Valley to see the sights and scenic locations, bump into other cars for fun to pretend I crash into one, and see some hidden discoveries throughout the game.
And you and I do have something in common Luke, the Cars movie was also my first movie that I’d ever saw in cinemas growing up. My very first time going to the cinemas/movie theatre back in 2006 blew my 5 year old mind away, it really was a blast seeing a movie like that on a giant screen in the auditorium room. Pretty soon, my mom had got it on dvd for me and I watched it over and over again. I also watched some of Mater’s Tall Tales shorts on the Disney Channel.
And yes, just like with Thomas how it was the springboard for my interest in trains, Cars was the springboard for my interest in NASCAR and other car races like Formula 1 or Grand Prix racing. Even The Fast & Furious & Talladega Nights: Ballad Of Ricky Bobby movies had contributed my interest into race cars. I used to watch NASCAR a lot with my dad back in the late 2000’s. The Cars movie help made race car races like NASCAR became popular for both the kids and adults.
Looking back at this movie as an adult, Cars still means so much to me to this day. Both the 2006 movie and video game give me a good load of nostalgia and I’ll never forget.
So Luke, as a fan of the Cars franchise, did you like NASCAR as well? Was it a fun Motorsport?
50:28 my favorite moment "Whut Bloody Friends?!"
Very wonderful review, Luke. Honestly didn’t expect a movie tie-in video game to be this good, but I’m glad it is.
These games and movies shaped a large part of who I am today. Also, when you started quoting the movie, it reminded me of this time when me and my friends watched it with TV on mute, and I did all the lines and the singing. From memory, no closed captions.
Have you noticed that Thomas and Friends Seasons 1-4 and Cars (2006) star the late George Carlin?
20:45 Bro, you just made so much sense....
Definitely opened my eyes and have seen this first hand inside a metal shop😂
I have all 3 cars games on ps2 this one is always my favorite though
I never got to play this version of the cars video game, rather the sequel to it (Mater-National). Similar in layout but a slightly different story (you’re basically building a racetrack in Radiator Springs to attract racers/fans from all over the world). I think it uses a very similar (if not the same) map for a lot of it, but overall as soon as I started playing it I fell in love with Cars. I would sneak down to the basement to play it whenever I could, sometimes competing with my siblings to see who’d be in control first. It was my childhood and seeing how thoroughly you went over the original made me remember all the fun memories playing the sequel.
Thank you for the video, it took me back and gave me some good memories!
It’s been so long since I’ve watch cars
Your passion for this franchise and the game itself really shows here, love the way everything was edited and hearing your personal story with this game! Great video all around, keep up the good work. :)
Forgot to add this to my comment but your edits were extremely funny, you know the ones 😂
Before online multiplayer games existed my cousins, brother, and I would gather around my PlayStation 2 at my grandma’s house and play games like this. We would spend hours driving around the open world Radiator Springs and pretend like we had to run and hide from the police car every time he randomly spawned in an area.
Cars the video game being released three days before the movie came out reminds me of when the Thomas & Friends series 2 episodes aired on television two days before the book titled ''More About Thomas the Tank Engine came out''.
25:33 Nice to see my suspicions that you're a Caddy fan are correct
I never had this specific game, but I had Maternational on my old Wii. Seeing this video reawakened the nostalgic sound of the ka-chow from hitting bolts in my memory
Man, the IF900HP and VROOOOM cheat codes are burned into my mind.
The amount of times just doing laps on two wheels to get money for paint jobs needed that dinoco blue McQueen
I got the game delivered to me and my family after apparently winning a competition. Neither me nor my parents remember entering the competition
This game was early child hood. I remember being so bad at the game I couldn’t make progress so I would just drive around crashing into other cars. Sure was some simpler times.
this game was my childhood, it still influences me to this day, I'd have so much to write about it, I could write a whole book, maybe even several, it's literally been such an important thing in my life, I love it so much and it's still the world I'm mentally in, radiator springs is my home, and it will forever be. I hold it dear to my heart, and I'll probably never let it go
I remember playing the Wii port of this game, and not having any idea how to do any of the races, just driving around the world, with my Wii remote in the Wii wheel. I kept coming back to the game, though. It was captivating to just drive around the world, doing donuts for 30 seconds. I loved it so much. It was FAR from my favourite Wii game (that would go to Mario kart Wii, but that’s a different story) but I still came back to it all the time, and I found the Wii channel music very funny.
Maybe I should make a video about my nostalgia for Mario kart Wii 👀👀
55:07 That's a completely different character, Joltson, even though he has the same vehicle type as Aiken Axler, he's not the same character, same with the other Piston Cup Racers.
This game takes me back to the days of my youth, when my sister and I stayed over at our Nana and Pop's and played this game on their old PS2. Honestly? Such a banger game
This game that got me to gaming and i used to played it everyday everytime the disc scratches and doesn’t work i get another copy of the game and i repeat the cycle this game is my childhood and my life just last week i got the psp version by playing it on a psp emulator on my ipad and i was so happy i got to play it because it was my first time playing that version.
>mentions watching Cars over and over and over as a kid
>collected the die-casts
>can quote it nearly entirely
This may have been the fastest sub I have ever given someone in my life, you're literally just like me lmao
Cars is the first film I have any memory of watching in less than 5yo (other than Ben 10: Race Against Time) and it left such a huge mark in my life
It's without a doubt my favourite animated movie of all time
Okay. I'll say it.
This video is hilarious
A lot of the jokes got me hard out of the blue, and the timing is impeccable
Good shit, good shit!
Do not regret the subscription in the slightest
Amazing video. The beginning definitely resonated with me as cars was also the first film I ever saw in theater as well. Truly a wonderful video
Dude this was one of the first games my family got for our Wii. We didn’t do any of the racing or completed the story, we just drove around Radiator Springs and Tractor Tipping (it was our favorite scene). Despite possibly only completing 1% of the game we loved it!
I love cars since is was a kid
I see your a fan of cars too
I owned the GameCube version. And this was one of those games me and my best friend would play religiously durring the summer. Well that and or "Mario Kart Double Dash" or "Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure".
I wish i got a chance to play this as a kid it seems incredible
I think I have an obligation to watch every review on this game now. Big part of my childhood, seen like 3 reviews already. Love it
This was a wild throwback, I adored the game on PlayStation 2! I'd actually forgotten how much of a story the game had, got even more of an appreciation for it now :D
I had this game too. Unfortunately my PS4 doesn’t work anymore. I do have Cars 3: Driven to Win on the XBOX ONE though!
The editing made me laugh so many times
Simply phenomenal video 👏 one of the best I’ve seen for this game, as a Cars fan I love this game to death, and seeing coverage of it on RUclips is always a treat, this is easily one of the most comprehensive looks into the game, even covering the different versions of it (X360’s the best don’t @ me) and you know what, this game deserves it, the effort that was put into this game cannot be denied, and the least we could do is acknowledge that effort, they rarely if even cut corners with it at all, especially in a market like licensed kid movie tie-ins where phoning it in is the norm, games like this one showcase that licensed games could be great videogames in their own right, but also make for PHENOMENAL complimentary content for the source material, I was both surprised and delighted to learn new things about the game that I actually hadn’t known about before, so well done on your research for this! Although one thing I’d note is that the CHMPION cheat not only gives you the option of Champion difficulty for the arcade mode, but also amps up the difficulty for the story mode as well, don’t blame you for not knowing that though, it’s pretty hidden, aside from that, I loved the video (as you can probably tell by how long this comment is lol) great job Luke, you outdid yourself once again!
amazing work Luke
Absolutely loved this video, found a new Appreciation for cars the video game
Reminder!!! Don’t let unlucky tug beat u in the retrospective series this Friday!!!
This Friday?
@@usualblokeluke yeah he uploads every other Friday, and he might post a season 11 retrospective soon
I remember seeing a video about this game appear in my recommendation feed, can’t wait to see what this game was about (especially as I’m super nostalgic about Cars; it’s not the worst of the classic Pixar era imo)
28:10
That’s literally me when I’m try to sound more confident. LOL 😅
Similarly, Cars was also my first video game, introducing me to my favourite console, the GameCube back in 2006. While I had numerous other movie tie-in games for the system, something always felt special about Cars when compared to the others, due to the phenomenal open world, memorable soundtrack, and a plot that built off the film which had been engraved into my mind. Fantastic video as always, Luke!
No hate but why didn't your mom wait to get the wii or something
I'm gonna play this on Dolphin Emulator now. Thanks, Luke!
59:02
"Owen Wilson the race car" caught me lacking.
Cars Video Game - Radiator Springs Theme ive had this theme in my head since this video been online amazing review also going to get my PS2 back connected and play cars again thank you and prob play some hit and run as well
The first couple minutes were so similar to me it was genuinely uncanny. Same age, same obsessions in the same order, same autism that causes said obsessions, you name it. I'm genuinely thinking you might be my long lost twin.
You are so insane you spent 76 minutes talking about _Cars: The Video Game_ of all things. I am very jealous.
Dude I’ll never forget playing this the minigames are so good and forever will be my fav thing about it
While admittedly I took a few days to get to this, I was actually hooked and watch the entire thing through. This game reminds me a lot about the video game for the movie “planes” with its similar racing format.
This video also motivates me a little more to continue working on something different compared to my “recent” films. Good work!
Thank you very much!
And best of luck on whatever it is you're working on!
Had it on the ole GameCube. Man I miss them days
I LOVE this game. I am still obsessed with the soundtrack. “What I Want” by Autopilot Off is still deep in my heart. I’m so happy that someone finally made this type of video about this game
While being the cars game I’ve played the least, I can’t deny that this is still very fun to go back to very now and again
Getting the chance to beat Chick Hicks in a video game after the events of the movie is actually great.
Great Video about the Cars game. And a nice way to start June since the original movie turns 18 on the 9th. (BTW, at 2:15, kinda gives me the vibes from Tugs’ Video of Cars, when he says he remembers every line from the first Cars movie) Overall, another fantastic video from you man. 👍🏻
I find it hilarious that a game adaptation of a movie is more of a game and less of a movie than the average “game” today
Great video on the Cars 1 video game! It's super underrated like the first Cars movie and might be the best movie tie-in game alongside Goldeneye N64.
I remember my dad renting the Wii port when I was 6 or 7 and due to the darn motion controls we were pretty bad at it, so we only played it for 5 minutes. It wasn't until last year when I got a preowned Xbox 360 that I replayed the X360 port in a new perspective after 11 years and I was rather impressed with it. I enjoyed the open world feel it had even if the game took place mainly in a vast desert.
After playing the Cars 2 game and Cars 3: Driven to Win, I enjoyed both of them, the first Cars game is still the best (while the latter two felt more like Twisted Metal wannabes).
The Wii version does have an alternate control scheme which allows you to use the nunchuck, so you don't really have to use motion controls except for jumping.
Happy 18th anniversary to this amazing game tie in
I loved how the cast of the movie came back and reprised their roles. Especially the DRH, they’re my favorite characters from the movie.
Cars game ad : LIVE IT!
child Luke : Ok I will
One of the best Pixar films EVER MADE, in me opinion👍👍👍 First watch when i was 6 in 2007, I love all the characters, especially Mater and the Fabolous Hudson Hornet (in the Danish version Chick Hicks was actually voiced by Mads Mikkelsen!). I've also met Jorgen Klubien (Danish animator and lead singer of Danseorkestret, who have worked for Disney and Bluth), who was one of the writers behind the film, he actually came up with the original idea of an electric yellow blue car, before it evolved into our favorite hotshot red Chevrolet (I think Lightning is a Corvette C6, anyway that's his closest resemblance irl, he also asks Sally at one point if she fell in love with a Corvette, which hints a little towards this). Jorgen also made a silhouette picture of me, as he had a silhouette papercut shop in Tivoli (old and well-loved Danish amusement park in Copenhagen) back in 2019. He's a very underrated artist, if it weren't for him, Joe Ranft and the others, the films probably wouldn't exist. What a talent he is...
I also think Cars 2 is very underrated, even though it's a very different and darker movie from the first, it contains a lot of comedy and great Bond references for a Bond fan like me
Ever since I first played the Cars game in 6th grade, I've always been so impressed by this game's presentation, especially Lightning's character model. Like in the movie, he's very round with a lot of curves. He always has this innocent, cheerful, and childlike smile while he artlessly stares into space. It's hilarious. If you stand still for long enough, he'll fall asleep out of boredom for a few seconds, he'll start snoring, and then he'll suddenly wake up.
A car is a giant >1.5 ton box made of cold, lifeless steel that emits foul-smelling fumes; it's a hardly adorable. And, NASCAR race cars sound demonic. How the heck did the folks at THQ make something like a car so cute and cuddly? I mean, Lightning looks as friendly as Mario. I just want to give him a big hug! I remember playing this game for the first time and thinking, "I don't care if he's arrogant. I want to pet the car."
Although, for years, I had already been playing more challenging, higher-level racing games like Ridge Racer, Daytona USA, Forza, Need for Speed, etc, Cars is a rare case of a licensed video game that's actually good. I don't mean good for a licensed game; as in, it's genuinely a good game by any standard. And, I'll give Cars credit for standing out from those aforementioned games by giving vehicles personalities. It's no surprise that this game sold so well. Whatever I may think of Disney's half-assed attempts to turn Cars into a franchise, I'll always have a soft spot for Cars 1.
Now, if only we could get a remaster in the vein of that Spongebob Battle for Bikini Bottom remake...
Childhood memory right here I loved this game as a kid. The Incredibles rise of the underminer is amazing as well
Ah now this is a game that I look back on very fondly
8:28 Aha I know that! that's a game grumps line you can't hide that from me! Also good video. Also, I'm shocked at how much this game fits into the canon of the Cars franchise. McQueen won multiple piston cups (probably one of them being the one he won at the end of this game), Lighting is a world-traveling race car, which he was stated to be gone for a while in Cars 2, that little railway track which later appears again in cars 2 but who knows this might have been all unintentional
I’m very glad you mentioned how the game feels like a natural successor to the first film, it’s also something that I really love about its sequel games: Mater national and race-o-rama, they also took that one line of dialogue where lightning says that he’s getting his own racing headquarters in radiator springs and went full throttle with it, in the first game, they were already alluding to it with a sign that says that Lightning’s racing headquarters is coming soon, in Mater-national, the exact place where that sign is is replaced with a construction site where the headquarters will be built and as you progress through that game, the headquarters’s construction makes more progress alongside a new racing stadium in radiator springs that is also under construction too where in each last race of each chapter, it also becomes more and more fleshed out with the final race of the game taking place in the fully constructed racing stadium and the final cutscene being a group photo in front of the fully constructed headquarters. And then race o rama doesn’t even forget about any of that by having lightnings racing stadium be a major location and also being one of the new hub worlds you can freely explore and I love that so much, I love that you get to explore this area that you spent an entire game getting to see slowly built over time is just so cool, I can’t think of any other group of liscened games that have such a strong sense of connectivity like the first 3 cars games and it’s one of the things that makes those game so unique compared to other liscenced games along with all three of those games being good in their own ways.
Where is the sign that says the racing headquarters is coming soon?
Is it that huge billboard of McQueen that you see when you enter the town?
Can’t believe this game turns legal age today😭
I remember when I got this game, I was maybe 4 or 5, I don't remember if it was my birthday or not, but I remember going out to an asian buffet in town with my parents. I think my mom had left to go get it or something and I think I had been talking about wanting the game, my memory is fuzzy with this bit, but after we ate and got back to the car, the game was in the backseat, for the GameCube, and I instantly wanted to play it, but I think I had to wait until the next day because it was my bed time. The three Cars games, the main one, Maternational, and Race-O-Rama were my childhood, alongside MarioKart Double Dash and, once a little older, Minecraft. I think about this game sometimes when I play other open-world games, like Grand Theft Auto, and I always trace my love for games back to this DAD GUM Cars game. As much as it's very unlikely and will probably never happen, I would totally play a remaster of this game and have a blast with it.
Dont forget about the unlucky tug he can also quote the whole movie hes watched it much
The first time I've played Cars was on my cousin's Game Cube and it was the first time I've played a racing game (outside of MX vs ATV) and I would always lose against my cousin.
Growing up as a kid I had a difficult life due to having two families so I had two gaming consoles like (PS2, Xbox 360, and Wii) and I even had two different PS2s (the black version and silver version) the silver version of the PS2 was like the Gen 2 of the console.
Whenever I spent the weekend with my 2nd family I played on my Silver PS2 replaying games since I always left my memory card at my grandparents which is my main family which wasn't a big deal since I was still transitioning from the NES (I was born in 99 and I started playing video games on consoles from the early to late 80s).
My 2nd family got me a copy of the Cars video game and even though I didn't have a memory card one of my memories of playing the game was searching the desert to find parts so Mator to be a Monster Truck which was funny plus Lightning can be a Monster Truck too.
I spent my time exploring Radiator Springs playing the game on a weekend basis without a memory card.
I was 23 in 2006 so I never watched Cars but my son who is almost 4 loves them I watch them with him
First off I hope this gets tractions cause while I love your Thomas stuff. The passion you bring to other media is great. Second I just love how much love was put into this game. Like even some of the scenes you showed made me laugh, cry, and just feels things. Which proof of really good art.
cars is one of my favorite animated movies of all time. it also got me into racing because i thought it was super cool. i used to play this game all the time on my xbox 360. also since the game came out three days before the film, McQueen is technically a video game character so he could’ve been in Smash Bros
Great video, I’ll miss joe ranft I can see why they wanted to pay respect for him by deciding not to include the characters he voiced but since his brother Jerome voiced red in cars 3 he could voice wheezy in toy story 5
Man me and my brother have some good memories with cars. Saw it in theaters,got the game,collected the toys. A core memory is my brother throwing my die cast “Boost” (my favorite one) and it cracking my head opened,I’ve cracked it like 2 or 3 times before. The wing got stuck in my head,funny hospital visit tbh
I was literally watching that movie on Discord lol
11:28 the same thing happened with the SpongeBob movie game. It came out before the actual movie 😂
can’t believe i’m going on 20 years old and just now seeing the cars game again after 15-16 years. thanks for this trip down memory lane luke :)
You're very welcome 😁
Cornerstone of my childhood right here
This game is so good I beat it on GameCube twice (because my file corrupted lol), and then upgraded to the Wii version and beat that as well. Very fun movie tie-in game with a lot of effort put into it.
Also, fun fact - the Wii version is the only one to run at 60 FPS. The GameCube version also completely removed the deleted scenes/movie clips, something I never noticed until I played the Wii edition.
Kinda ironic that Season 10 came out the same year as Cars
I’m quite curious if you ever do decide to review the film itself. I would love to see that.
Great video btw
