There’s a genuine sense of scale as you race through upscaled worlds, ducking and weaving in and around obstacles.Īll of this detail can be appreciated more so when using the game’s photo mode. But that’s not to say the racing environments take a back seat. ![]() They’re genuinely some of the best models I’ve seen in a video game. The different materials that make up the vehicles are perfectly rendered and even sport imperfections such as tiny bits of plastic left from the moulding process. Each of the game’s vehicles has been crafted with such incredible detail that it’d be easy to mistake them as the real deal. All in all, unlocking vehicles isn’t great and it feels very “free-to-play” despite it not being so.Īll of that aside, it’s clear this game has been created with a genuine passion for all things Hot Wheels. In this case, you know what you’re getting but even that has a strange time mechanic attached to it whereby vehicles cycle every few hours and there’s only ever five of them on sale at any given time. There is, however, a marketplace that you can purchase vehicles directly from using your coins. Duplicate vehicles can be melted down for coins or scrap so you never go completely empty-handed but these boxes aren’t delivered in plentiful bounds so it’s disheartening to open three bumper cars in one session! If that wasn’t frustrating enough, blind boxes also contain duplicate vehicles so you aren’t always guaranteed something new. If you’re an avid Hot Wheels fan looking to drive your favourite die-cast miniature, you’re at the mercy of luck. But even without any additional costs attached to them, this method of unlocking vehicles is the game’s weakest feature. After all, their real-life counterparts are sold in little boxes, albeit with a transparent window. It could be argued that a Hot Wheels game is the game best suited for loot boxes. The loot boxes, or blind boxes to give them their correct name, are earned from simply playing the game but that’s not to say they’re a welcome addition. I’ll clear it up now, there are no microtransactions in this game. This brazen introduction would’ve made my heart sink if I had one, but it needn’t have because behind these boxes sits one of the best arcade racing games I’ve played for some time. Picture my face, then, when I first booted the game and was met with the opening of three loot boxes. Its audience is the perfect blend of young kids who lap up anything, so long as it’s colourful, and bigger kids who’re prime for a nostalgic tug of the balls. If there was ever a franchise perfect for creating a shameless cash-in video game, Hot Wheels would be it. ![]()
