8 More Video Games Better Than The Movie They're Based On

That's to the utterly greasy nature of its inception, I'd like to think that the script for the movie Cars was actually just a copy of "How To Manipulate Your Audience To Sell Toys: For Dummies" that they then just slapped a picture of Lightning McQueen on the front of, as boy howdy is this film just the worst.

It doesn't matter if you thought that the story about a pompous car learning some humility was a good one, the fact of the matter is that this was the most blatant Disney has ever been when it came to their desire to unload toys and lest we not forget they made an entire franchise based around toys themselves (I think it was called Capitalist Story or something).

Everything from the ground up was designed around an item or playset to be portioned off and sold to the public, and when coupled with a three-act tale so thin on material a ghost looked more substantial, made for one of the weakest Pixar films in years. And yet, the game released alongside this film was actually really decent!

This was down to the fact that with such a generic film to go off and such an easy adaptation to work with, because cars + game = car go broom broom game, the devs were basically handed a home run. The fact that they went above and beyond to make the drifting feel responsive and the AI challenging enough to demand your attention really was the icing on an oily cake.
