Pull R2 to accelerate, L2 to brake, and X to boost. The controls are as standard as they come but they don’t need to be elaborate. Sadly, there are only five of these races throughout the career mode, but they were always good fun. Speed lanes can reverse to bring you to a crawl while obstacles are more tricky to avoid. Some of the more extreme tracks – the “Boss” races – up the ante even more with the tracks actively working against you. You’ve got booster pads for a kick of speed, barriers that’ll slow you down if you’re clumsy, spider-webs that’ll hold you back, and more.
HOT WHEELS UNLEASHED MISSION TOP SECRET FULL
The tracks are fair but challenging and full of little surprises. You’ll loop-the-loop in a stylish base basement you’ll tear down the plastic around a skatepark – minus the drug-dealing hippies I had to contend with as a kid – and much more. You race little toy cars around the trademark yellow and blue plastic tracks that have been elaborately built around everyday places. The concept is simple and it doesn’t do much to stand out from the norm. It’s a nice change, though, and it’s easily one of the best games to come from the developer in a long time. In fact, it’s a massive change of pace for developer Milestone, with the Italian outfit swapping out the two-wheel rides of motorcycle racing for the sturdy four wheels of little toy cars. I say “arcade” racer, but honestly, I don’t think I ever put coins in any arcade racing game that was as good as Hot Wheels Unleashed.
Hot Wheels Unleashed takes the traditional toys and brings them to life in a fun, easy to play, and highly enjoyable arcade racer. Availability: PSN (Digital) Retail (Buy on Amazon USA / Amazon UK)
