Hot Wheels Unleashed Review: Too Early to Call It Hot
If you’ve ever dreamt of playing with Hot Wheels toys in a video game, Milestone makes it come true. This is the ultimate proposition for Hot Wheels enthusiasts. But is it a proper game at all? Well, yes… but no. At least not right now.

God is a Geek: 9 / 10 by Sean Smith
Not only a blast of die-cast nostalgia, but a brilliant arcade racer to boot with superb customisation options.
Hardcore Gamer: 4 / 5 by Jeremy Peeples
Hot Wheels Unleashed is a fantastic arcade racer at its core, but the overall product is hurt by the gacha mechanics.
IGN: 9 / 10 by Luke Reilly
Carefully detailed, highly customisable, and buoyantly uncynical, Hot Wheels Unleashed is a surprising and brilliant arcade racer.

Hot Wheels Unleashed Description
Hot Wheels Unleashed is an arcade racing game based on the Hot Wheels license. Game was developed by Milestone, a studio specializing in this genre, known for such games as Gravel or Sebastien Loeb Rally Evo.
Mechanics
In Hot Wheels Unleashed we take part in crazy races with the Hot Wheels cars. Among the available models we can find fast and agile supercars, muscle cars, heavy and quite slow off-roaders or other vehicles, such as a tractor or a tanker. The races take place on a variety of tracks that wind not only horizontally, but also vertically, which are full of all sorts of jumps, loops and accelerators. The driving model focuses on recklessness, spectacular drifts, and impressive but risky behaviour.
An advanced editor has been implemented in the game, allowing to create your own tracks. Tracks designed in this editor can be shared with the community.
Game modes
Hot Wheels Unleashed allows to play alone or in multiplayer mode. Two people can play locally (on a split screen), and up to twelve can play online.
Technical aspects
The graphics of Hot Wheels Unleashed is pleasant to the eye.
