With more cars than you can shake a bit of plastic track at and a driving model that’s surprisingly good for an arcade racer, Hot Wheels Unleashed is an excellent racer that punches well above its weight. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3424343167 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3424790992 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3424790435

Hot Wheels Unleashed is a game I have very mixed feelings about. On the surface I expected the game to be easy to pick up and play, which it is--in a way--as the controls are easy to understand. The problem is with the handling model. The left trigger acts as the brake, and to initiate a drift you need to tap the trigger and start sliding the car, then counter steer a la Burnout or Mario Kart to steer through the corner. Most of the cars I've driven, and I've driven about 2/3 of them at this point, have either way too much understeer or oversteer uncontrollably. Out of the entire list of cars I've driven, I've found 3 that I can tolerate and find "fun" to drive. This is a shame, as the game has had a TON of love put in to the track design, the car design, the graphical quality overall. The game is incredibly well designed from a track standpoint. You could literally take the handling model from Burnout 3, Burnout Revenge, Burnout Paradise, even Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2010, and plop it in this game and I'd automatically jump the game up a 8/10. As it stands, this is a 6.5/10. And the real reason for this is below. The other big gripe I have with the game is with the difficulty balancing. The AI is difficult to the point of feeling impossible on the hard difficulty. On medium, some races feel like pushovers, and others feel impossible still. On easy, it's a pushover. And I'm writing this with the understanding that I'm using the same 3 cars for all of the levels. If you want to experiment with any cars that are not as good, then you NEED to put the difficulty down to easy as it will literally be impossible to beat some challenges, especially the time trials, as the times to beat are not possible with cars that are objectively not as good. Overall, it's a game I WANT to recommend wholeheartedly. But I simply cannot give it my full endorsement without a big asterisk, which is you need to be a big fan of Hot Wheels and racing games in general to enjoy this game. Otherwise, there are better options out there, such as Milestone's on Gravel, the Dirt Series, the NFS series, Burnout series, or literally most other arcade racers.

It is pure fun, bringing back the joy of playing with Hot Wheels but with fast-paced racing and wild, vibrant tracks. The cars look fantastic, the controls are smooth, and the track editor is a blast for creating your own crazy courses. Whether you’re racing solo or with friends, it’s an exciting, lighthearted experience that’s definitely worth checking out.
