Game review: Cars 2

CARS 2

RATING Everyone 10 and older

PLOT Arcade-style racer with light combat leanings

DETAILS Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, $50; Nintendo DS, PC, $30

BOTTOM LINE Decent action

Up to four players can drop in to compete in events ranging from pure races to battle races using weapons like missiles and machine guns, with several modes exclusive to multiplayer games, like the base-defense Disruptor mode. But with the game's focus so squarely on multiplayer action, it's odd that the game is without any sort of online play.
