![]() ![]() Some effort has gone into ensuring there’s a noticeable difference between many of the cars, for example, the Camaro feels flighty and responsive while the school bus, while not sluggish by any means, feels more cumbersome. ![]() Milestone, who are known for their pedigree in the racing genre, has condensed all of the fun kids have with Hot Wheels down into a tight, blistering experience that transforms these small, weightless toys into the souped-up machines kids imagine them to be. Hot Wheels Unleashed captures the high-octane fun of other track-based racers, like Trackmania, while making terrific use of the license. With an overworld map of events that serves as the game’s so-called story, I feel a number of the game’s desirable cars could have been peppered throughout that as rewards. That said, I do wish Milestone found a better unlock scheme for the game’s roster of cars as I don’t think Blind Boxes, which serve the same purpose as any regular loot box, are a concept we should be introducing young children to. It was a pleasant surprise for licenses like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to feature also, it became like a real treasure hunt trying to unearth all of the unique cars on offer in the game. There are countless real-world Hot Wheels models on offer, starting with the likes of Twin Mill and building up to more recent, and more fantastical releases like Street Beasts which featured the Motosaurus. It’s that spirit that Hot Wheels Unleashed captures. To vroom a flame-emblazoned hot rod through a loop, the marriage of die-cast and plastic, is to leave the reality of rubber-meets-blacktop behind. Originally conceived to be the cool alternative to Matchbox, Hot Wheels has built its entire identity on imagination and fantasy. It’s a mantle that Need for Speed quickly relinquished for Forza to snatch up, but the open-world format that has permeated every genre has stolen focus from good old-fashioned racing. Looking at the brief reveal trailer, the scope looks to be significantly larger than the previous Hot Wheels expansion in Forza Horizon 3 – longevity of its appeal will be key after 2017’s addition fell a little flat after the opening few minutes.Besides a key few, I think it’s been some time since someone has truly captured the blistering speed, the leaps and bounds, and the wholesome fun that is all inherent to arcade racing. These can then be shared amongst the Forza Horizon 5 community. Share your Hot Wheels creationsīuilding upon the in-game EventLab functionality, that allowed players to create their own challenges, the Hot Wheels Creation Kit comes with the expansion and allows the creation of unique tracks, from 80 pieces. This will include the 2021 Hennessey Venom F5 hypercar and the 2006 Mosler MT900 GT3.Īs you play through the expansion, you will work your way up through car classes before reaching the pinnacle: X Class. It will also include new road-going vehicles too, over and above the Car Pass. From the diecast perspective are the 2000 Hot Wheels Deora II and 2013 Hot Wheels Baja Bone Shaker, now in a matching size to the other real-world cars in the game. Alongside the new Hot Wheels tracks comes 10 new cars. ![]()
