The cars I started with on PS5 were not nearly as good, statistically speaking, as the ones I started with on PC, which had me struggling a bit on the console until I was able to upgrade to something a bit more competitive.Ĭars all come with various stats for speed, acceleration, handling, etc., and all cars can be upgraded once to improve those base stats by spending “gears” earned by winning races. The game starts by opening three containers to get your collection started and these three cars vary with each new game. Luckily for me, I was here mostly for the single-player experience which is pretty awesome in an addictive and time-consuming sort of way.

I played and reviewed this game on both the PC and the PS5 and based on my post-launch play the PC seemed a bit easier when it comes to matchmaking, but with no public lobbies, race settings, or matchmaking filters multiplayer is still a bit of a mess. Sadly, there is no cross-play support, so you are stuck with matchmaking on your chosen platform. You also have local split-screen racing and thrilling online racing for up to twelve drivers.

Hot Wheels Unleashed offers a dizzying amount of content including a massive single-player experience that spans a large city map with branching paths full of races and time trials, challenging boss fights, and clever secrets that combine specific tracks with specific cars. After all, playing with Hot Wheels is all about the endless possibilities of creating the ultimate racetracks. Unleashed offers the perfect mix of tracks and cars while creating a unique “collectible” environment that fuels your own car collection as well as continually adding pieces to your construction set when you are ready to start designing your own tracks.

This game unleashes the inner child in anyone who plays, especially if you are of an age that had anything to do with actually playing or collecting Hot Wheels cars since they were first introduced in 1968. Most of you know me from my racing sim reviews, and while I do favor the more realistic racing games there is something refreshingly simple and rewarding about a pure arcade racer where you don’t have to worry about gear ratios and tire wear. It’s such an amazing part of the Horizon experience it still remains on my system even four years later, but that might change with the release of Hot Wheels Unleashed a game I have become hopelessly addicted to over the past two weeks leading up to its release. While my dream of a toys-to-life Hot Wheels game never materialized, in 2017 we did get an amazing Hot Wheels DLC for Forza Horizon 3 that delivered a fantastic racing world created from authentic Hot Wheels track pieces along with ten classic cars. I remember this time vividly because throughout this five-year span I kept thinking to myself, “If only they did this with Hot Wheels.” While the figures offered in all those aforementioned products were cool there wasn’t much to do with them outside of their respective games other than display them on a shelf and collect dust, but actual Hot Wheels cars could still be played with outside of whatever type game might exist. And we can’t forget Nintendo’s massive line of Amiibo collectible figures. Ten years ago a revolutionary new game called Skylanders hit the scene one that opened the floodgates for numerous toys-to-life video games like Disney Infinity two years later and LEGO Dimensions two years after that.
