With such a spectacular line up of films to have to live up to including the first two Toy Story‘s, I was left pretty underwhelmed leaving the movie theater. I especially didn’t really connect with the Mater character played by Larry the Cable Guy (I was never big fan of his comedy).

Mater’s Tall Tales are animated shorts which feature Mater as he tells his friends the crazy things he has done. Also starring in the short films are all the characters from the original Cars films including most notably lightning McQueen.

Players start out in a garage area where they are allowed to customize their cars with a number of different enhancements including body types, stickers, color and hats.

Up to four people can play at the same time and players can play either cooperatively or competitively with each other. Continue Reading
