    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 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!

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

    Good-
    Large and varied new map. Vibrant and colorful environments. Excellent track design. Racing through life-sized Hot Wheels tracks with all of their loops, boosts, and what have you is an absolute blast. Missions are well implemented. Gorgeous to look at. 10-15 hours of new content is a good get for 20 bucks.
    Bad- Activities are mostly too similar to the base game. Restrictive    Good-

    Bad-
    Activities are mostly too similar to the base game. Restrictive progression can get a bit annoying.

    Thoughts-
    Even with a few minor issues though, Forza Horizon 5: Hot Wheels is yet another incredible piece of racing content by Playground Games. There’s easily between 10 to 15 hours of pure, unabashed racing fun in here. It proudly boasts all the many strengths of the game that it’s built off of, of course, but also introduces ridiculous speed, an excellent new map, incredibly fun new tracks and vehicles, and more to deliver what feels like a worthy addition to the Forza Horizon 5 experience.    … Expand

    Very fast paced, adrenaline pumping expansion that is also filled with fun facts about the history of Hot Wheels. Going 0-300 in no time flat has been a treat here with objectives to complete for goodies like Hot Wheels vehicles with some licensed vehicles in the mix.

    Loved the base game and couldn't wait for the DLC to release. And I'm not disappointed. The new gameplay features like the loopings, the magnetic tracks, the boosts, etc, are very cool additions and I think it's worth the price. And of course you get new hot wheels cars that are super great.

    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.

    Amazing, beautifully executed expansion to an already great game. You can tell they spend time developing this DLC. The track design, the boost, loops, magnetic tracks, 300mph!!! I've spent all my time since it came out racing down the orange tracks to 100% it. The cars they gift are pretty awesome too. My favorite would be the 2018 Hot Wheels Camaro.

My favorite would be the 2018 Hot Wheels Camaro. At first it was weird to find out I had to only use B Class cars but it didn't take long to start unlocking the rest of the classes. Nice touch to lock others and give players a sense of reward when another Class gets unlocked. My favorite would be S2!… Expand

    This DLC is super fun to play, definitely better then forza horizon 3's version. the map is huge with loads to explore with unique track types. The price is a bit expensive but for me it's worth it.

    Quit review bombing, we know you're mad Playstation kids.

    My only complaint is the campaign is a bit short, but other then that, this actually destroyed my expectations. So much track, so much speed, so many new cars, it's really great.

    Playground delivers again! This is by far one of the best DLC’s ever made. With so much content already jam packed into the base game there wasn’t really a need to go all out but they did! Progression system isn’t perfect but it works. Start B class work your way to X. Don’t miss out !!

    It's simply THE best Hot Weels extension I've played, it's fast, beautiful, impressive, real thrills, PlaygroundGames you are definitely among the best by far.
    Now I can't wait, Forza Horizon 6 and its 100% next-gen Hot Weels dlc

    The DLC is simply amazing! I didn't expect to be that much fun. Tracks are stunning, cars are great and it feels like a whole new experience, not like a custom track in EventLab. It's worth every dollar and I guarantee you'll love it.

    Absolutely love it. The best Hot Wheels experience you can have on a current console, and the progression system is exactly what Horizon has been needing to make it even better. Great DLC

    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.
