THQ today announced plans to bring a new video game based on Disney Pixar-™s highly successful Cars film, Cars Race-O-Rama, to all major systems worldwide beginning in fall 2009. Cars Race-O-Rama is currently in development across six game systems, including Wii Nintendo DS, Xbox 360, PS 3, PlayStation 2 and PSP system. Cars Race-O-Rama will mark the third installment in THQ-™s highly successful Cars video game franchise, which has shipped more than 13 million units worldwide to date.
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.
Plus, 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.
