From THQ, a new CARS racing game, “Cars Race-O-Rama,” is coming this October …
High bandwidth trailer …
From the Press Release:
“In Cars Race-O-Rama, players will join Lightning McQueen and Chick Hicks in Radiator Springs as they prepare their academy of student racers to compete in the Race-O-Rama Exhibition. Players will encounter 12 new playable characters making their video game debut. A new and improved Lightning McQueen will come fully equipped with special racing kits, allowing him to better maneuver brand new, action-packed tracks that will take players to metro city streets, the Baja desert and sandy beaches. In addition, players are now able to modify Lightning McQueen’s wheels, rims, hood, side skirt, rear bumper, spoiler and paint with special customization features, giving Lightning a personalized style and look that has never been seen before. As players compete in this high-speed, racing adventure game, they will be able to utilize Lightning McQueen’s newly designed drifting abilities and perform “Kachow” poses for enthusiastic reporters and fans encountered throughout the game. Cars Race-O-Rama will also feature multiplayer mini-games based on Disney-Pixar’s “Cars Toons,” a series of animated shorts that are currently being aired on the Disney Channel.”
Thanks for the heads up Jeaks.

i’ve played it before and i loved it!
This is a very cool game to play.And it is very intresting to play.
Edge,
Can’t say too much about the video game thing other than it will be cool and the Characters are cool as well.
So many die casts, so little time 🙂 Stay tuned, pun intended. 😉
Well this brings another opportunity to release game-based Cars diecasts. Anybody have screen caps of the ‘new’ Cars in the video games? Would love to see em, especially Count Spatula(mainly cuz of the weird name). With 3 kids and tons of overtime, I don’t have time to play video games. =/
Because of the extreme lack of Lightning McQueen die-casts available, I say they should build and release a McQueen die-cast of every possible variant that can be built by the player in this game. Acura, start designin’… 🙂
hey wont let be alsome if you got points or unlockables when you entered ror codes!?!?!
Erm, I hope the voices on the promo are not the voices they are using for LMQ and Mater in the game. If so, I wouldn’t get it for that reason alone.
Wouldn’t it be fun to customize your car and “click” your order is processed and sent directly to your doorstep… for a nominal fee of course! Don’t forget shipping plus handling!
That would be cool. Nike used to (maybe still do) have something similar on their website for customizing your own sneakers.
I thought that was what Nathaniel was for??
Looks like it could be just another thrown together money grab like Mater-national was. I’m sure my daughter will talk us into buying it just the same though.
(MET: Are you implying a video game based on a movie might not be as great as Mario Paper & Gran Turismo combined? 🙂 ).
Great, now I have to cave and buy a PS3.
Ladies & Gentlecars.
I’m I first? Now what?
