The in-game secrets incentivize going back and either getting first place or achieving the fastest time to make progress, as you’ll have to suss out that maybe you need to play a particular level with the Hot Wheels school bus in order to unlock a secret, or defeat a certain boss to unlock the next. With so many races, it’s easy to get a little burnt out. There’s also times where there’s blind corners that are impossible to scout, that prompt learning only after you mess it up. And unfortunately these kinds of tracks aren’t used enough, only appearing in a handful of them. Sometimes a track will spit you out upside-down and you’ll have to correct yourself so that you land correctly. What that means, is that some tracks are really amazing with high-flying jumps, long drifts, or precise turns. As a result, not all tracks are created equally. More environments or less tracks would have avoided this problem altogether. They’re all unique and special, but they tend to feel limited with over ninety tracks, as repetition starts to set in. There are six areas to race in: Garage, Track Room, College Campus, Basement, Skyscraper, and Skate Park. There’s a lot of obstacles and split-second decisions you have to make that keeps things exciting.
The race tracks will have magnetic pieces, boost pads, and even traps like spiders that shoots webbing to halt you in place (complete with a record scratch inserted into the soundtrack) as well as a snake with its mouth open that can close at the wrong time during a jump. If you time hitting the gas just before the number two appears in the countdown, you’ll get an off-the-line boost. Drifting is simple, yet rewarding when you get a car that has good enough handling to maintain one. Often you’ll tap the brake to initiate a drift, but the actual use of the brake will rarely, if ever be used to stop. The act of driving in HOT WHEELS UNLEASHED is rather simple. There’s a lot of content here, but not all of it is great. It takes ten hours to complete all of the races, and to get 100% map completion and winning every race took me about fourteen hours in total. I played on the Normal difficulty, and it only started getting challenging about halfway through. There’s nearly 100 races to occupy your time. It features different kinds of races from quick races to time attacks to even boss battles. Most of the time spent in this game will be with Hot Wheels Rumble, the singleplayer campaign mode for the game. The only thing that go further is being able to get a 3D print of your custom Hot Wheels creation made, and shipped to your home.
HOT WHEELS UNLEASHED PUBLISHER UPGRADE
As you unlock new cars to be added to your roster, you’ll be able to upgrade them, and even modify their liveries to your liking. When you’re at the main menu, you’ll have plenty of options for racing, but the collection is place you’ll be gawking at a lot. And it a lot of ways, HOT WHEELS UNLEASHED exceeds that, because it goes beyond the brand name, going for authenticity above all else. Not since the Hot Wheels expansion for Forza Horizon 3 have we had anything this good in relation to Hot Wheels. HOT WHEELS UNLEASHED is a game for racers, designers, dreamers, and kids from one to ninety-two. Milestone, a developer who’s mostly known for their work on motorcycle and simulation games have made one of the most enjoyable arcade car racers in recent memory. HOT WHEELS UNLEASHED captures what our imaginations were as kids, and presents them in exaggerated and expansive ways. I constructed tracks from official pieces with whatever I had lying around.
As a kid, I spent countless hours playing on the floor and my bed playing with Hot Wheels.
