Remember, this video was posted in August 2011, two months after the movie was released. I made a submission to the games subreddit on Reddit to see if there was any ideas as to why Cars 2 is at the top. The video was released in August 2011 (about a month after the release of the movie), but the video didn’t become viral and spike in views until sometime early 2012, many months later. If someone is rigging the view count, the ratio of Likes+Dislikes to the given viewcount should be much lower than for a genuine video with genuine user reactions. Modern YouTube videos have a Like/Dislike bar, which counts the number of Likes and Dislikes given by viewers of the video. I did a few simple diagnostics of the top 1,000 Gaming videos to determine if the Cars 2 video had an statistically unusual view count. Could this be the case with the Cars 2 video? Popular YouTube videos are often suspected of having their viewcounts manipulated, since making videos appear more popular than they actually are can help lead to genuine virality. Why would a video about it be the most-viewed gaming video of all time? Statistical Shenanigans It’s not Minecraft or League of Legends though.
The fact that it’s a cart racer like Mario Kart helps too. However, Gamespot gave the game a 7.5 out of 10, which is pretty good for a licensed game.
It is, of course, the sequel to Cars, and received more critical reviews compared to its predecessor.Īs with many movies, Cars 2 received a tie-in game, most of which are mediocre due to mandatory deadlines and lower budgets. Cars 2 is a CGI movie about talking cars by Pixar which premiered in June 2011.
