    Hot Wheels: Unleashed is a good arcade racer, sometimes captivating for its good use of drifting, and sometimes too crazy for its chaotic random physics.

It is aLove the idea, the game is good looking driving is good.....my biggest problem is the change in difficulty between easy and normal. It is a huge spike where easy to too easy and normal is really pretty darn challenging. you can drive really well and the game seems to rubber band cars to you, making it very hard to get any kind of lead...and they constantly turbo past you after rubber banding. The other downside to this, is that to be competitive on normal, you have to use the fastest, overall best handling car you have in order to compete, which limits what cars you can use to race with if you want to be at all competitive in the race. It's unfortunate since there are a lot of cars in game.

    It's a fun game, but the difficulty between easy and normal should be addressed.    … Full Review »
