Disney Pixar Cars Games

Many of these Disney Pixar Cars games have come a LONG way from old fashioned card and board games. Yet some of these tried and true games live on with a new Disney Pixar twist!

Games come in many varieties, so this page is divided into three sections. Click on the section you're interested in, then click the Back to Top link at the end to come back here.



Cars Video Games


Cars 2: The Video Game

I don't know about you, but I'm really looking forward to the new Cars 2 movie scheduled for release this summer. Along with the new movie is a new video game and it looks like it's packed with all the action and adventure you could want. All major gaming platforms are available.

Featuring characters from the sequel such as our friends Lightning McQueen and Mater, the video game also has new characters like Finn McMissle and Holley Shiftwell. One or two people can play at a time and you can perform some crazy moves during your hazardous spy missions. Doesn't that sound exciting?

Pay attention to this: The movie is opening June 24th, but the Cars 2 video game goes on sale the 21st. Three days head start on the movie, everyone! You can now buy your game here!

In the meantime, check out the video game trailer. Looks like fun!



Cars

Online reviews give a thumbs-up for the Disney Pixar Cars video game with a 4-star rating. This game is not going to give serious gamers much of a challenge, but I really like that it is easy enough for younger kids to use with a super-easy mode.

There are 50 races to play and you can be one of 10 characters, so the variations are endless. The Cars video game comes in many platforms and the price depends on which platform you use. Get your game here for an amazing deal.



Race-O-Rama

Check out this Disney Cars Race O Rama video game available on the major gaming platforms. It was released in October, 2009 and is another fast-paced racing game where Lightning McQueen goes against Chick Hicks for the Race O Rama trophy. They must find various racing events and place in the top three to progress to the next stage.

Race O Rama has mini-activities like Mater racing around a junk yard or tractor tipping. It sounds like a really fun game and parents give their stamp of approval. The price depends upon your video game platform, but you can buy it here.


Cars: Mater National

You'll also want to check out Cars: Mater-National. It's available on a variety of platforms and is suitable for elementary school age kids, with simple controls and customized skill levels.

In Mater-National, players get to explore a whole new expanded Radiator Springs along with 20 mini-games. Six new international competitors are introduced in this game, hosted by Lightning McQueen's best friend, Mater. Again, price will depend on your video platform, but this product can be bought here.


The time is going to go by fast playing these fun Disney Pixar Cars games and you're going to want to be comfy. What better way than with a special gaming chair.

The Cars-themed Ultimate Gaming Chair has dual speakers so you can hear every crash with crystal clarity. The control panel is integrated in the seat for easy access and when you're finished playing, your chair folds up for easy storage. You can save $60 when you buy from this link.




Traditional Pixar Cars Games

I think that one of the best things about more traditional, non-electronic/video games is the way it encourages social interaction. These more traditional Disney Pixar Cars games bring families together and are also great fun for parties and when kids have their friends come over.

Monopoly Cars 2 Race Track Game

Here's a new game for Cars 2! It's called Monopoly Cars 2 Race Track Game and if you think this is just another Monopoly game, you're in for a big surprise!

For one thing, the round race track has taken the place of the original board, plus it is used in place of dice. How do you do that? A little Lightning McQueen is pushed around the track and the number he stops on is the number of spaces you move. How clever!

So far reviews are outstanding and a mom named Anne remarks that the game takes only 15 minutes or so, which is perfect timing for her 5-year-old son. Get your Cars 2 Monopoly Game now and save 12% here!

Sorry Sliders: Cars 2 World Grand Prix Race Game

What a unique way to play Sorry Sliders! Your kids will love the race track they set up and then flick the pawns around the board. Every time you cross the finish line, add another lap to your counter. Once you get to four laps, go on your final lap and the first one to finish the final lap wins!

This new version of Sorry Sliders has not yet been rated, but one mother on her blog states that it is more solid than she expected and the regular version of Sorry Sliders has gotten 4½ stars, if that is any indication of probable quality. You can buy Sorry Sliders Cars 2 World Grand Prix Race Game for about $15.

More Disney Pixar Cars Games

Some of the non-electronic Disney Pixar Cars games I've come across include card games like memory, 3-in-1 or goldfish - oops, I mean Go Fish. I just had a mommy moment! You've also got games such as tire fishing games, dominoes and DVD games like Scene It!



LeapFrog Cars Games

Playing Cars on the LeapPad

My son started playing with his Leapfrog Quantum pad when he was about two years old. He mostly likes to touch different parts of the pictures with the stylus pen to hear the sounds it makes. He's still not so interested in the actual games that the Leapfrog book suggests he play.

Take a look at the newer and more popular LeapFrog Cars games.

LeapFrog Learning Game: Disney Cars 2

Much like the original Cars learning game, the Cars 2 version tests your child's math skills.

What better way to encourage your child's learning and foster a love and excitement for math?
