    Hot Wheels: Unleashed is a simple yet demanding arcade game. However, its main attraction lies in the incredible care for the toy brand, both for the cars and their tracks, with a really complete editor.

    Yes, the trailers whet your appetite and yes, graphically it really is a treat. Still, after a few rounds you'll want to return this game.Yes, the trailers whet your appetite and yes, graphically it really is a treat. Still, after a few rounds you'll want to return this game. Why?
    The driving physics are horrible, the vehicles are permanently stuck in a pile during the races and with increasing driving experience you hardly make any progress. Placements are largely decided by trying not to get stuck on edges and ramps, which is made much more difficult by the poor handling. If you do succeed, you don't get new cars, but only coins for lootboxes, where you aren't rewarded for increasing success, but regularly receive the same cars, which you can then disassemble. Even for level advancement, rewards are only partial, while attractive items depend on owning more DLC.
    I am not a fundamental opponent of DLCs - if the actual game is expanded with them. Here, however, you run into DLC walls from the first hour, so that you buy a game on Free 2 Play level at AAA price.    … Full Review »

    Online Multiplayer needs fixed. Other than that, a perfect hot wheels game!

    great for the creative
    Hot wheels unleashed is an arcade racing game with an equal amount of good as bad… firs the good.. the amount of customization and attention to detail in this game is insane.. as you play youll earn coin and blind boxes, giving you random hot wheels cars all with their own stas and are upgradable with different rarities, and yes I did pull legendaries… you can also earn these cars in the story mode.. and each of these cars you can customize all th way down to the wheel.. really making this feel lik your toybox wich brings me to the track creator.. im not one to care about these type of things anymore.. but the early teen in me loves the fact you can build a track around your room like the good ole days, having sleepovers with your friends.. coming up with the most ridiculous jump and loops possible.. and yu can play these tracks locally as well as online, though I don’t see the option to download other created tracks which is a bummer, you can however download other players customized cars.. up to 100… when it comes to racing, hot wheels unleashed is best locally or online.. its fast and fun drifting around corners trying to outdo everyone around you.. its hwen you play solo that hot wheels unleashes problems start to show… theres an adventure mode here where youre going through races and time trials basically back and forth, clearing these hllenges to unlock new track bulding items, earn coins, and cars.. and imemdietly I relized, oh no.. theres rubber banding.. unfortuntaly there is no sweet spot difficulty to make racing through this game solo thrilling… easy is essentially free roam mode cause the AI cant keep up, and the rubber banding in medium and hard ruins races.. turning this basically into nothing but time trials essentially.. one wrong move and youre in last place.. that’s how bad the rubber banding is… might as well restart.. much like again.. a time trial.. when I sit down to race.. iwant to race.. don’t pretend theres added difficulty by making the ai slingshot to catch up with me… jst make the ai better the harder it gets.. so unfortunately playing solo turned this into a map cleaner more than anything else.. made worse by how uncreative the tracks are.. The game focused so heavily on detail they forgot to focus on zany fun… sure there are obstacles thrown in there like a spider that shoots a web,but no childlike imagination.. making forts out of pillows, throwing bouncy balls here and there, making me drive over a bowl of water.. a cat swiping at you while you drive around… an insanine incline down a flight of stairs to fly across the room… nothing really to remind me im dirving a hotwheels car.. other than the ocassional vent or couch to drive across, but its so in the background hat I stopped paying attention.. really making getting through the campaign a drag at times, as it is just recycled the same 8 tracks over and over and over…
    That being said if you plan to race online or locally with friends.. hot wheels unleashed has potential to be a staple in your collection.. creating tracks to challenge eachother, designing a staple hotwheel..
    This is a must have for racing fans..
    I give Hot wheels unleashed
