Interesting. The graphics don't look too hot, but I'd trade graphics for smooth gameplay and the inclusion of ToyBox mode any day.

It also looks like they aren't just copying their brilliant Cars 2: The Videogame but rather are making something completely different. I heard that it occurs after Cars 2, and if so, I wonder what you'll be doing in the game. I would imagine that racing is involved somewhere.

I also like the fact that these in game playsets aren't just video games of the films, they are a separate story from the films that exist in the same franchise. Makes it much more exciting when you don't know the story.

Edit: Just found a link that talks about this reveal. http://www.videogamer.com/xbox360/disney_infinity/news/disney_infinity_cars_play_set_revealed.html
MPK for short.

Cars 2 Playset details

The first details on Disney Infinity's 'Cars' play set have been revealed, courtesy of Game Informer.

Set in Radiator Springs after the events of Cars 2, the Cars play set tasks players with encouraging international racers to the town by building new race tracks and hosting an international racing tournament.

The play set also adds new elements to the game's Toy Box mode, including track pieces and buildings which can be raced through and destroyed. "When they're inevitably blown up, the destroyed pieces essentially become stunt-park pieces," the magazine says, "which players can trick off of."

Four playable characters have been announced for the play set so far, including Lightning McQueen, Mater, Holley Shiftwell and Francesco Bernoulli, each with their own collectible figurine and exclusive missions.

It isn't yet known which of the characters will be provided with the play set, which will be available to purchase separately, or whether any further Cars characters will be released.

Cars is the fourth play set to be announced for Disney Infinity, following the reveal of play sets based on Pirates of the Caribbean, The Incredibles and Monsters University last month.

Each play set grants players access to an additional game world based on a different Disney property, with each said to boast between six to nine hours of gameplay.

Additional play sets are expected to be revealed before the game goes on sale in June.

I think only the shot of them firing missiles is concept art. The rest are actual gameplay shots.

and thanks for posting the pics Aeromis!

I would suggest that some of these are painted illustrations, while the others may be considered "work in progress"

Great news here.
I like the design of the figures and I agree with MPK about trading off Hi-Res Textures and polygons for smoother richer gameplay.
I'm chuffed! Just a closer look at The Lone Ranger and Toy Story to go. :)
