Disney•Pixar Cars

Cars is a 2006 open world racing game published by THQ. The game is based on the 2006 film of the same name. It was released for the PlayStation 2, GameCube, Xbox, Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, and PlayStation Portable in June 2006, with versions for the Xbox 360 and Wii released later that year. The Wii version includes functionality geared towards its Wii Remote controller and was a launch game for the system. Taking place after the events of the film, the game follows Lightning McQueen as he participates in the new racing season with his goal set on finally winning the Piston Cup. While doing so, he races and trains with the local community of Radiator Springs. The voice talent returns from the film, with the exception of Keith Ferguson, who replaced Owen Wilson as the voice of McQueen on the PlayStation Portable version. All versions of Cars received mixed reviews. The PlayStation 2 and Nintendo DS releases of the game each received a Platinum Sales Award by the Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA).
