The goal is to beat opponents and impress the audience with fearless maneuvers, in order to advance into other 'episodes' and win better cars. At the end of the season, the driver with the most courage and best stunt skills will cruise away in a gold-plated car as the Hot Wheels Champion. Players will choose from 30 authentic Hot Wheels cars to compete in 24 stunt challenges on 12 different tracks set in environments such as Buccaneer Bay, Jurassic Jam, Zero Gravity Zone, Tiki Island, Spider Alley and Lava Land.

    It's pretty elementary and it won't take you very long, but at $20 it's a good starter option for the young race fans in your life, who should get quite a few hours of enjoyment from it. [Feb 2005, p.83]

    It boasts a good sense of speed and decent visuals, while offering an entertaining, although simple and uninspired, number of tracks and stunt challenges. The actual stunts in the game could use work.

    Slam it in reverse unless you're entertained by rolling quarters across a sunlit floor.

    When you factor in how little this game really differs from any of the last few games in the line, there's really no good reason to go out and buy it.

    It's not unplayable, so I can't go much lower than a 59. This is the most wonderful time of the year, however. Do you really want to be playing a game that's playable but isn't most wonderful?

    There's nothing so captivating about this game that a rental can't dispel. It's too bad you can't rent games by the minute.

This game perfectly captures what went through our young little minds while we were playing with the Hot Wheels toys.
    And to make things better, it plays really well as well. After all these years I haven't found another game that feels and plays as well as this one. And trust me, I have been searching    … Expand

The tracks are designed in such a fun way thematically, and the soundtrack really ties it all together. Dino, Spider and Pirate tournaments are easily the best ones out of the bunch, however, Lava, the last tournament, does feel a bit more generic and uninspired in comparison, just more of the same things with a slight different coat of paint, which is a shame as it should've been the 'climax' of the tournaments.
    The sense of speed is also satisfactory (greater than some other HW titles on the PS2). The car selection is also good, it's got some iconic HW cars of the era.
    It's a short game, can be finished in around 2-3 hours at most, but that works on its favor. It's a short, sweet experience; can get a little repetitive, though.    … Expand
