The story aspect of the game is criticized for being overly lengthy and detracting from the racing experience, with players feeling that a racing game should prioritize gameplay over storytelling. Additionally, the lack of a compelling narrative connection to the movie and the absence of online multiplayer further diminish the game's appeal.
“You think that a racing game about a famous race car would be more about racing and less about the storytelling.”
“Waiting for the story 10-15 minutes just to be able to play the game is an almost impossible amount of time for my child to wait.”
“[No online multiplayer; the lack of story means there's very little tying the game to the movie.]”

Cars 3: Driven to Win Review
Despite nailing the Pixar look and offering loads of content, Cars 3: Driven to Win heads off-track because of its unforgiving difficulty.
