Instead of being based on, say, some Cartoon Network TV show geared towards kids, Hot Wheels Unleashed instead promises the ultimate Hot Wheels fantasy. But does Hot Wheels Unleashed manage to be a good game underneath its many layers of die-cast nostalgia? In fact, Hot Wheels Unleashed feels like a game built primarily for today’s adults who grew up with Hot Wheels years (decades?) ago rather than kids – a bold choice. So, I was pleasantly surprised not only that Milestone announced Hot Wheels Unleashed in 2021 as a major new release for the franchise, but also that the game had potential to be of higher quality and creativity than previous games. That’s not really the case today, as many of the smaller studios that previously produced those types of games have since shut down, been absorbed, or are now producing mobile games instead. There was a time when games based on popular toys were a dime a dozen it used to be impossible to walk into the video games section of your local supercenter without seeing shelves filled with licensed games, many of middling quality.
