Near 100 events are in place in all, split across standard Quick Races, Time Attacks, Boss Races and a number of Secret events which require specific conditions to be met in order for you to race them.


This whisks you off to a gloriously created world map, complete with a variety of events for you to partake in. Now standard for any racer, it comes with the usual Quick Race, Time Attack and Split Screen opportunities, letting those folk who are constrained by time the chance to hop on, power through a race or two and then disappear without thought.īut it’s the Hot Wheels City Rumble which is the main affair. What is front and centre is the racing and Hot Wheels Unleashed caters for a few different mode types which should cover the bases for those looking for quick hits, or longer term experiences. Again though, whilst this will appeal to a few, especially those who head online to race, it’s not the main focal point of what Unleashed is trying to convey. This is far from in-depth, only really letting you amend colours and materials of the various car parts – livery, chassis, interior, rims, tyres.

The same goes for the vehicle livery editor in Unleashed. The thing is, whilst it’s pretty simple to use, and allows for huge amounts of creativity to unfold, it’s pretty safe to say that it’s very much a niche option to have much like detailed vehicle liveries in other games, you’ll need to have a certain mindset to get involved. The Track Builder works really well too, and the more you play and race in Unleashed, the more pieces you’ll begin to unlock and be able to integrate into your dream tracks.

This Track Builder is a highly customisable place to be, allowing you to drop track pieces, different items, modules and more as you see fit, whether that be in order to create a track for your own personal pleasure, or for sharing to the world, testing the skills of other Hot Wheels fans by making the most complex, most creative circuits you can.
