Is this the moment where licensed video games become a proper art form or was the pay good?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The target audience won&#039;t give a flying flugelhorn as they are nine-years-old, probably male and definitely hyperactive. All they care about is revving engines and squealing tyres, which this game delivers in large doses. More akin to &lt;em&gt;Mario Kart&lt;/em&gt; than &lt;em&gt;Gran Turismo&lt;/em&gt;, stage after stage is packed with cartooney, crash-bang-wallop and the fun is accessible for multiple players whether online or in the same room.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Years of bitter experience have taught us to give licensed games a wide berth, but this is an exception to the rule, with both slavish fidelity to the film&#039;s plot and gameplay that has more polish than a Porsche&#039;s bonnet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Martin Jarvis can rest easy &ndash; his involvement with &lt;em&gt;Cars 2&lt;/em&gt; will leave his credibility intact.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;related&quot; style=&quot;float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/racing-games&quot;&gt;Racing games&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/games&quot;&gt;Games&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/pixar&quot;&gt;Pixar&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;terms&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk&quot;&gt;guardian.co.uk&lt;/a&gt; &amp;copy; 2011 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.
