    But As for me game also got big minuses:
    1. Music is good, but each lap it change to more quicker, and on Last lap you here quicker.
    2. Splitscreen game Mode stand alone from the game. You can play only ofline and without any prizes. So you not able to open New tracks and cars.
    3. Online lobby vary strange - game can make 10 players wait till 2 player end their race instead of making New lobby for them.
    4. Versions of the game for previous and Last generation sells separetly!!! I think many gamers still got two consoles and want to play on both.
    5. For now in game only 2 types of races.

    Tracks from point to point are super.    … Expand

    Overall, I can look past the grind of obtaining new cars thanks to everything else Hot Wheels Unleashed does. I loved its commitment to the memory of racing around my bedroom floor, and for those looking for an accessible arcade-style racer full of personality and flair, look no further.

    Hot Wheels Unleashed is one of the best arcade racers to release on modern consoles in years. Tight controls and action-packed races make for a fun and satisfying racer that offers intense racing and a lot of ways to play.

    If you’re looking for a new way to jump into the world of Hot Wheels, Unleashed is certainly not a bad way to go, after all, we’ve seen worse in the series’ history. That said, the price point may prove steep for what feels like a more basic use of this beloved licensed property, and with very basic options for included game modes, a lack of substantial variety in race types, and no suitable way for the community to share their impressive track builds, it feels like Milestone has undercut themselves in a possibly rushed attempt to capitalise on this potentially fruitful racing franchise.
