14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.

Not only is this the greatest racing game ever made, it's the greatest game ever. If this ever got a proper remake, the hype would make GTA 6 look like an indie title. You can't change my mind. It's been dominating the market for 20 years without any competition, and at this rate it'll stay there for at least another 20. Absolute masterpiece.
Despite what steam says im on windows 10 and it was running smoother then a babys hands. Grew up playing this on the wii and its just as good as it was back then. Only bad thing is this game is more meant for actual kids and what i mean by that is i was leaving the ai in the dust, like not a single race did any ai stand even a slight chance, most of the time they were so far back if u looked behind me i wouldn't even see them i might as well been lore accurate mcQueen other then that its fun ash to zip around as mcQueen himself and not some labo or jdm car for a change

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 12: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

happy 20th birthday, soon to legally drink next year
I don't think I'm speaking only for myself. Lightning McQueen is a childhood hero. We’ve seen him win and lose. There have been tears and moments of joy, because you empathize with him so deeply. He’ll always have a place in our hearts <3
Mano, esse jogo é simplesmente maravilhoso. Me remete a uma nostalgia do caralho... Que sdd que eu tava de jogar esse jogo, incrível dms! Uma coisa que eu fiquei tipo "MANO, NÃO É POSSÍVEL" é que ele é muito tranquilo de jogar. Era muito difícil ficar em primeiro na época, quando eu era criança, e jogando agora parece muito mais fácil kkk. Também não lembrava da história ser tão curta. Na minha cabeça, tinha mais coisas pra fazer, parecia que o jogo durava mesmo. Isso é muito interessante, acho que quando a gente é criança, tudo parece muito maior e mais difícil. Bom... E, por ser um jogo de PS2, tinha uns probleminhas. O jogo não salvava direito, ficava crashando toda hora e ainda teve a questão da dublagem, que aparentemente não veio nessa versão aí. Acabou que fui atrás de alguns guias que almas bondosas compartilharam e consegui resolver a parte dos crashes e do "salvamento". E, nisso tudo, ainda tive ajuda do meu namorado, que conseguiu fazer funcionar o modo de salvar direito, porque a anta aqui não conseguiu KJKKKKKKK. E consegui resolver o outro problema tbm, o da dublagem... Teve outra alma caridosa que ajudou essa pobre mortal aqui. Depois de toda essa luta, joguei de boas e consegui finalmente jogar do jeito que eu lembrava. Foi muito bom revisitar esse jogo, embora tenha tido esses pequenos contratempos. Esse jogo é foda e vale muito a pena jogar! Compra e divirta-se :) (recomendo comprar na promoção)
None of the controls make sense, but it's still pretty fun to play.
Este juego cambió por completo mi percepción sobre la realidad, creo que soy un hombre totalmente distinto desde el momento en que lo abrí. Es como si hubiera conocido lo incognoscible, es como si hubiera escuchado el silencio, es como si hubiera visto aquello imposible de observar, fue una experiencia que trascendió por completo el tejido de la realidad.
genuinely a masterpiece and a perfect sequel to the original movie. happy 20th birthday, cars
i played this to death on the Wii as a kid and it's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awesome still
I swear half my playtime was just configuring the damn controls for Steam Deck. It did end up working pretty well, I just had to remember when navigating menus B is confirm and X is cancel. The worst part was knowing which buttons to press during Piston Cup race pit stops. I’ve been aware of this game ever since I watched the trailer for it on the Cars DVD in 2006. I played a little bit at a friend’s house on PS2. My twin brother and I found a PC copy and he played it a lot, I mostly watched. Many years later, I learned the game was available on Steam, so I downloaded it and made my way through most of the story. Now, 20 years later, I have finally played and beaten this game for myself. Happy 20th anniversary, I guess. If you like the movie and racing games, you’ll probably like this game. I’m sure this did exactly what kids wanted out of a Cars game: race as Lightning McQueen and explore Radiator Springs. It’s extremely easy for older, experienced players, but I didn’t mind, it was kind of relaxing. I love that most, if not all of the original voice actors from the movie also played their respective characters in this game. Honestly, my biggest criticism is the Piston Cup races are kind of boring. Just driving in circles for 12 laps. The least they could have done was implement drafting mechanics like in NASCAR games.
