The Windows version of the game was shut down even earlier, and there's no additional content like new characters for gems and etc. It was also available on PC (Windows 8, 8.1, 10 only) through the Microsoft Store, however, you can't obtain this game on Windows anymore, because it was taken out of the store. But the situation is similar to Android and iOS - it is obtainable through the user's apps and games library if it was owned earlier. However, not all content is accessible anymore. | |||

Cars: Fast as Lightning | |
---|---|
![]() | |
Developers | Gameloft Disney Interactive |
Publishers | Gameloft |
Platforms | iOS Android Windows |
Release date | October 9, 2014 |
Genre | City-building, racing |
Cars: Fast as Lightning was a customizable racing game that was released on iOS, Android and Windows Phone on October 9, 2014, featuring the characters from the Cars franchise.
It was removed in late 2016, one year before the release of Cars 3. However, if the user has the game in their app library, they can still download and play it.
The Windows version of the game was shut down even earlier, and there's no additional content like new characters for gems and etc. It was also available on PC (Windows 8, 8.1, 10 only) through the Microsoft Store, however, you can't obtain this game on Windows anymore, because it was taken out of the store. But the situation is similar to Android and iOS - it is obtainable through the user's apps and games library if it was owned earlier. However, not all content is accessible anymore.
Gameplay
Cars: Fast as Lightning combines elements of several different games, including Disney Infinity, Clash of Clans, CityVille, Nemo's Reef, and many others, and combines them into a customizable racing game using characters from the popular franchise. Players have a town that they can customize by constructing buildings and decorations that will provide them with coins. Coins can be used to purchase new buildings, as well as upgrade cars. Additionally, gems serve as a rarer type of currency, obtainable via real money, daily challenges or the Gem Mine.
In addition to the town, race tracks are customizable as well, with more tracks being unlocked as players progress through the game. Tracks can be customized with different types of road pieces, including curves, hills and more. These road pieces will give the player opportunities to perform tricks during races, awarding the player with a short boost.
In races, the player can do many different things to make themselves successful, including boosting, boost starting, performing tricks, or gaining XP. The XP meter will fill as the player gains XP, and when it fills, the player will be moved to the next level, unlocking new buildings and decorations.
Daily and weekly challenges are also featured as a way to obtain currency and friends can be added through social media or by sharing friend codes.
Despite being shut down, it is, most likely, the most balanced game in its genre.
Controls
Cars: Fast as Lightning uses a very simplified control scheme, consisting primarily of simple taps. When a player's car drives over a blue circle on a track, it will provide the player with a short boost if the screen is tapped while on one. Tricks can be performed by sliding a finger in the direction the arrow is demonstrating.
The pedal in the bottom right of the screen must be held in order for the player to accelerate. At the start of the race, if the pedal is tapped when the "Go!" sign appears, a boost start will be awarded to the player.

The town is where all of the buildings are stored, each one awarding coins to the player. As more buildings are placed, more currency will be awarded when the player opens the game up. In order to expand the town, a fee must be paid in order for Bessie, the cranes, pitties, and bulldozers to pave a new road. Each time an extension is bought, the next extension will cost higher.
All of the players' cars will be seen driving around town, alongside Sarge and Lizzie. Occasionally, a car will want to go to a certain building, and when they are brought to it, the player will be awarded with either an XP star, a coin, a fuel can or a gem.
Various unique buildings can be built to, including the Dinoco Stand, Gem Mine, Car Wash, and Movie Theater.

Race
In order to progress in the game, the player must continually race against various different opponents. The ones that will award trophies are displayed next to the finish line of whatever track the player is playing on, with various different cars driving around the track. These cars can be raced against for additional XP, as well as a chance to earn a sticker for a new paint job.
The practice cars can either be AI characters or human players, with computer characters using the image of the character, with human players having a blue "friend" icon.
Characters
Playable characters
There are a total of 31 characters (29 of them are playable characters) in Cars: Fast as Lightning, consisting of 13 Cars characters, 6 Cars Toons characters, 9 Cars 2 characters, and an original character. The last two are Sarge and Lizzie. Todd Marcus is the only car that is unlocked after the tutorial, and all other cars must be unlocked by earning their stickers.
Unlocking criteria
Unlike the previous Cars games, Cars: Fast as Lightning uses an orderly unlocking system. Once every race is won as one character, the next one will be unlocked, and so forth. Winning these races will provide the player with a "sticker". Once all of these are collected and every race is the won, the next character will be unlocked.
Each character has 2 (or more) extra paint jobs, which can be unlocked by earning stickers in practice races.

The The Radiator Springs 500½ racers do not have any homes for some reason. All they do is drive around the town, and they don't have their own racetracks either, and Sarge along with Max Schnell and Lizzie do not sleep anywhere for some reason. All they do is drive around the town.

Reception
Cars: Fast as Lightning received generally positive reviews, its main praises being its smooth and detailed animations and the way it combines city-building elements with Cars characters. The game was criticized, however, for its simplistic gameplay, with some reviewers stating, "It's probably too simplistic for anyone except youngsters."
On Metacritic, it has been met with positive reviews, though it is still awaiting two more reviews for an overall score to be posted.
Beta elements
Originally the official main theme was the Cars: Race-O-Rama main theme, but was instead changed to an entirely new music track. Here’s a sneak peek of the game in development: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYdTkbiy-b8

- Cars: Mater-National Championship - Ornament Valley Airport re-appears in this game, its previous appearance only being in Mater-National.
- Mater the Greater - Mater uses his Mater the Greater paint job from this short, while the Stunt Cannons trick animation is similar to Mater's stunt, but with a Lightning McQueen-like design.
- Tokyo Mater - Mater uses his Tokyo attire from this short. The Construction Site is based on this short, and the trick animation is similar to the way Tokyo Mater and Lightning Dragon McQueen slide through the halfpipe.

- Dinoco - Chick has a Dinoco paint job, which is a reference to Lightning McQueen's nightmare from Cars.
- ICE - ICE paint job is a reference to the books and comics which could be seen in racing-related ones.
- Neon - The Neon WGP racer paint-jobs are being a reference to the books and comics, which could be seen in racing-related ones. There's also a die-cast line from Tomica that relates to it, but they have really poor quality.
- Cars 2 - Luigi and Guido have their Lightning Fan attire as alternate paint jobs, and the Wild Well trick is rather similar to one of the stunts Finn McMissile pulls in this film. Also, part of Yokoza's track has a section taken from a Japanese television show where a car has to jump through different giant road signs.
- Cars 2: The Video Game - Almost every Cars 2 characters' recordings are reused for this game.
