    Hot Wheels: Beat That! is fun because it doesn’t pretend to be something that it isn’t. It’s enjoyable because it’s fanciful and it is something familiar at the same time.

    Hot Wheels: Beat That! would have made a solid gift for a 6-8 year old kid looking for a new racing game if the game was valued-priced. At full retail price, though, it’s near impossible to recommend the game for purchase. It’s not that anything is inherently broken but it is incredibly uninspired.

    Although the gameplay isn't quite broken since it's still physically possible to participate in races, it just isn't fun.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I (a 37 year old dad) do not enjoy this game too much. But my hot wheels loving 8 year old son, loves it! The difficulty is perfect for him and he loves unlocking better and better cars. He uses all his screen time on this game and really, really enjoys it. Let's not forget who the target audience is for this game.… Expand
