Disney / THQ Bringing More Cars To Xbox 360

THQ today announced that Disney-Pixar’s Cars Race-O-Rama, the company’s third installment in the highly successful Cars video game franchise, has shipped to retail outlets throughout North America. Cars Race-O-Rama is now available for the suggested retail prices of $39.99 and is rated E for Everyone.

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 Racing Series.  Players will encounter 15 newly playable characters making their video game debut.  As they progress through the game, players will be able to unlock special racing kits for Lightning McQueen, allowing him to better maneuver brand new, action-packed tracks that will take players to metro city streets, the Baja desert and sandy beaches.

In addition, players are 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 like never 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 “Ka-chow” 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.
