![]() ![]() I will say that I had a tough time with some of the City Rumble stages when using cars with lower top speed stats, but it is also possible that I’m just bad.ĭriving feels more technical than other arcade racers I have played recently, such as Cruis’N Blast. ![]() Each car feels unique, given its stats are different, but all are usable. The driving in Unleashed is very well done. This is a really nice touch, and it was cool to see cars from years ago get unlocked aside brand new cars. A nice touch is the fact that each car, once unlocked, includes details such as its name, year of release, and the line of cars it came from. Speaking of cars, there is a wide variety to choose from. This makes me a little nervous because of the obvious monetization potential, but for now, building my collection of cars has been a blast. Importantly, there is no way to purchase cars with real money, and there are more than 60 cars in the base game. These are typically done by way of blind boxes, which adds a kind of gacha feeling. One of the main staples for Unleashed seems to be that players need to build their collection of cars up by playing the campaign mode. I will talk more about the track editor in a bit, but it is definitely not a last-minute addition or something to be ignored. There is local and online multiplayer and an awesome track editor, too. Outside of the main campaign, players have access to standard arcade racing modes. ![]() There are more than 50 quick races, more than 30 time trials, five bosses and nine secrets, so there is a lot to this. In this mode, you make your way across a city map completing races, time trials, boss races and uncovering secrets. There are several modes to dabble in, including a hefty, and I mean HEFTY, single player campaign mode called City Rumble. The basics of what you’re doing here won’t be surprising to anyone who has ever played an arcade racer. Hot Wheels: Unleashed does exactly what it sets out to do and delivers an experience reminiscent of the one I had as a kid playing with the playsets. I had all sorts of tracks, including some ones with some pretty wild set pieces, and I still have two boxes full of cars at my parents’ house somewhere. I’m someone who grew up playing with Hot Wheels, but I never touched the video games. ![]()
