BURBANK, Calif. —
(June 21, 2011) – Disney Interactive
Studios today announced the company is gearing up for an action-packed summer
with Disney•Pixar’s Cars 2: The Video Game, now available for all major
gaming platforms. Inspired by the Disney•Pixar animated comedy adventure
movie Cars 2, which opens in North America on
June 24, the game offers players intrigue and excitement as they take on
dangerous missions, vie to become the fastest racecar in the world and use newly
acquired espionage skills in adrenaline-pumping combat racing and battle
arenas.
Cars 2: The Video
Game
maintains the film’s look
and feel while expanding on the spy-driven plot line. Players will jump into
the Cars 2 universe with many of their favorite Cars personalities
in locations around the globe.
“We’ve developed a meaningful and
creative partnership with Pixar that continues to result in video games that are
an authentic and immersive experience for fans,” said John Blackburn, vice
president and general manager of Avalanche Software. “We anticipate that
Cars enthusiasts around the world will be compelled to become agents of
C.H.R.O.M.E with the release of this new video game.”
In Cars 2: The Video
Game, players enroll in an international spy training academy known as
C.H.R.O.M.E. (Command
Headquarters for Recon Operations and Motorized Espionage). As part of their
international training to become world class spies, players will participate in
simulated daring missions using assorted high-tech gadgetry in their effort to
outpace and slow down the competition, and ultimately become the world’s fastest
racecar.
Fans
will choose from more than 20 different characters to
play, including classic favorites like Mater the tow truck and Lightning
McQueen, along with new challengers, such as Finn McMissile and Holley
Shiftwell. Fans will also recognize familiar voices while playing Cars 2: The
Video Game with a celebrity voice cast including
Larry the Cable Guy returning as Mater, Emily Mortimer as Holley Shiftwell, Tony
Shalhoub reappearing as Luigi and John Turturro as Francesco Bernoulli. In
addition, the endless action will take players beyond Radiator Springs to
experience exotic locales across the globe including Tokyo, London and Italy.

in split-screen and features connectivity with the World of Cars Online,
a free-to-play browser-based, virtual world tied to the hit Disney•Pixar
animated Cars universe.
