Versus Not natively supported by the game, but the Steam version supports Remote Play, which is technically online play. This feature lets people play the game's local multiplayer through their own computer, and only one person needs the game. Click here for more information |
Issues unresolved
Movies unwatchable
The Steam version won't let you watch movie clips or deleted scenes. Selecting one will go to a black screen and then return you to the film selection menu.
Camera auto-centre bug
Playing tractor tipping causes a permanent bug that disables auto-centre on the camera.
Use another profile

This bug only affects the profile that played tractor tipping.

- "Jordan (developer): Well, given that we were trying to go as mass-market as possible with Cars (our core demo for the game is 6-12, but we think Pixar has the ability to jump that generation gap), we had to give the game a gentler default difficulty level than we’re used to shipping. We still want a challenge, though, and so we added a more difficult version of the Story Mode, where the races are much more competitive. Players can create a new profile (at the start of the game, or via the Options section of the front-end) and call it CHMPION."
