![]() ![]() While Hot Wheels plans to increase its lifespan with an abundance of DLC content, the Track Builder is what will truly help this game with its content problem. Each area has, theoretically, the infinite potential for tracks due to Hot Wheels' brightest feature: the Track Builder. There are six "areas" that races can take place in the Basement, Skatepark, College Campus, Garage, and Skyscraper. Despite this, the art direction still maintains a small sense of fiction, straddling the line enough to suspend your disbelief that these cars are dashing through your prestigious college university or dingy garage. Highly detailed models of these cars using differing textures like metal, plastic, and glass all contribute to making these toy racecars look just as they would in real life. Milestone doesn't stop there at making Hot Wheels feel like you're using your imagination on your favorite toy cars - the game looks just as good as it sounds. Roaring engines and jamming music help Hot Wheels maintain the image it presents itself with: a blast of childhood fun. At its peak, Hot Wheels sounds, looks, and feels great - but these peaks come after varying troughs and a single saving grace, all of which contribute to an overall "okay" feeling. Whether you jump straight into a multiplayer match, a quick race, or the Hot Wheels City Rumble, your first experience with Hot Wheels will be a high-octane contest accompanied by some jamming rock music and neat-looking cars. Hot Wheels can be a lot of fun when you're playing for the first time. Hot Wheels Unleashed is about as good as most racing games can be, but beyond an awesome track-building game mode, it doesn't do an exceptional job of setting itself apart in any meaningful way, making it an above-average game. Through my time with Hot Wheels Unleashed, I collected various Hot Wheels cars and raced through dozens of different tracks, but an overall feeling of being whelmed stuck with me. Milestone, the Italy-based racing game developers behind Ride and MotoGP, is at the wheel of Mattel's prized toy racecars. The metallic little racecars and plastic orange tracks of my childhood have come back to haunt me once more in the form of a video game: Hot Wheels Unleashed. ![]()
