    Muy buen Dlc, aun que no soy muy fan de los Hot wheels hay que decir que este dlc tiene todo lo que necesita para complementar un juego ya perfecto por si solo.
    Mapa espectacular grande y variado , coches y pistas diferentes y sobre todo mucha diversión.

    Fantástico, Forza já era acima da média e essa DLC subiu ainda mais o nível, recomendo muito.

    Would rate it lower if I could. Absolute trash, but can’t expect much more from Microsoft/Xbox.

    A really great extension, it ads new activities and cars, but it feels like half recycled.

    Disappointing DLC is an understatement. The longevity of this game unfortunately leaves a lot to desire.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Good DLC for Forza Horizon 5 set a very high bar for visual fidelity in a racing game on console and now the Hot wheels DLC doesn't disappoint it holds the visual fidelity very well and it's fun Expand

    This game is bad! You if you run into a car going into a loop well you will be stuck at 0 mph with 0 way to go forward it sucks the tracks are like driving on ice. A big waste of money. Oh to extend the little that is there do a speed trap pop a balloon a bunch of time waste.

    I must admit, I'm a Forza-Head, but if things are not good....I call them.
    In the case of the HW DLC imho, they did a superb job !!! If you don't like HotWheels at all, don't like the arcade way, don't like the idea of floating, orange tracks.....you probably don't like it.
    If you like to drive FH, if you don't mind the setup (like Trackmania) and prefer just the fun in a game -> GO and

    All this DLC proves is that it's a poor copy/paste of the original DLC from Forza 3. $20 for a DLC that is criminally short is a garbage practice, and reaffirms my hatred for paid DLC content that offers so little. At least Forza was free on GP, but again $20 for this is a waste. Save your money, and buy the Hot Wheels game itself.

    Aburrido está lleno de bugs, y hasta que no arreglen de que los carros salen volando fuera del mapa no lo jugaré

    REALLY good and fun gameplay, the map is huge and so much to do on. def worth the money. you will look at around 15 hours of new content which is worth the 20 dollars it costs.

    This is the first time I have played the Hot Wheels expansion, it dose not disappoint! How amazing to drive around a Hot Wheels track in first person!

    Tenho dificuldade em por 10 em tudo que gosto afinal iria desmerecer games que foram suprassumos da indústria com GTA San Andreas, Skyrim ou mesmo Forza Horizon 3. Quando Horizon 3 trouxe hot weels para franquia foi algo de encher os olhos (9) e foi apostando nisso que a Playground apelou para
    nossa nostalgia e trouxe hot weels de volta com mais gráfico, mais jogabilidade mais frame rate,

    Uma porcaria que apenas apela ao fator nostálgico de hotweels, fora isso é bem fraco.

    Easily one of the best DLCs in Forza Horizon history. I have no clue how someone can think this is a bad DLC. I don't know if it's an attempt by Sony Playstation fans or what? The game is IS free on Gamepass despite what people are saying. You DON'T have to pay really money for the cars, again despite what some people are saying. And you most definitely get a sense of speed. I don't knowEasily one of the best DLCs in Forza Horizon history. I have no clue how someone can think this is a bad DLC.

I don't know if they are getting there information from a source instead of playing the game or what? I know anyone that finishes a review by saying "I should" or "I regret not" etc "Buying/Bought a playstation 5 instead" is extremely sus. Who says that???? I don't get console wars. It's the cringe of gaming. And I can't wait until it's not a thing anymore. I think the future of gaming is great. And the team that worked on this DLC clearly cares about gaming. It's a lot of fun, and much bigger than I expected. It has multiple biomes and takes me back to my childhood. I'm excited for more content on this game already. I can't get enough of it. Expand

    Great time. Beautiful dlc that is insanely fun. Definitely worth your money. FH5 is still the best racing game ever made and this solidifies it.

    If you look at the profiles of the people who dropped review scores of 0 they have rated PlayStation exclusives as 10s. Don’t believe the review bombs.

    Worst DLC in a while, new cars are crap, broken physics. not a single normal jump or fast section. in mexico jesko can go 500, but here it even accelerates to 470 with difficulty!! this addon is about speed and not about the fact that the developers will feed us **** from a plate

    one of the most disappointment games of past years. gameplay is boring and there's almost no story to keep you playing.

    And the performance mode is broken. Horrific aliasing at 60 fps. The 30 fps mode is a stuttery mess. This game has major issues. Its hard to care with the graphics hurt my eyes.

    DLC vraiment top, je prends du plaisir, c'est beau la Map plus grande que FH3, j'adore le concept de raconté l'histoire de HOT WHEELS. Bonne Optimisation sur une 3080 ryzen 3600x 32ram en 1440p ULTRA 20€ très bon prix. Un peu répétitif à force. Playground Games est un studio phénoménal et créatif. Ils font d'excellents travaux et nous excitent. J'aime vraiment leurs jeux.

    One of the best dlc’s for a racing game I have ever played! Much better than the HW dlc for FH3, and that was so much fun. It’s almost like an entirely new game in itself! Definitely give it a download you will fall in love with the game all over again!

    Excellent. Feels like being in a rollercoaster.
    I honestly wished it would be a different DLC, especially since we had it before. But still it turned out great. It's not perfect but great. I realized I still was a bit oversaturated from playing it so much. More of my own issue :-)
    So anyway, I have to give a 10 to equal for the haters a bit.

    Forza Horizon is such a strong brand name and has always offered so much quality and innovation in a very limited genre that people just can’t expect anything less, and even though Hot Wheels is a solid DLC that can easily blow many full fledged arcade racing games out of the water, the fact that it’s not “innovative” enough compared to previous entries in the series.

    Forza Horizon 5: Hot Wheels is what we expected of racing these type of cars: adrenaline given by the mechanics of the game and an exorbitant show. All this makes up a package that can be taken very seriously by scale model fans and enjoyed in the most arcade-like way possible by newcomers of the hobby.

    Forza Horizon 5: Hot Wheels is a thrilling ride that pushes the boundaries of physics and even allows you to build and share your own tracks. It's a great example of an expansion that mixes up the gameplay of the base game enough to make it worth owning as well.
