On the car side of things, Hot Wheels Unleashed does an excellent job. Is a child who hasn't built a track that runs from the kitchen to the living room even a child? Well, yes, of course they are, but building such a thing is a classic Hot Wheels thing to do. The brand is synonymous with bright orange, plastic track, often with outlandish designs, such as loop-the-loops or giant dinosaur heads. They are lovely, dinky things, and often come in truly brilliant design variants, such a toilet on wheels or gorgeous tie-ins to other properties, like Star Wars or Mario Kart.Ĭollecting the cars is part of the whole Hot Wheels scene (a fancy name for what I did, buying cheap toys in a discount supermarket), but track building is the other side. I used to buy them for my son from Poundland (a shop in the UK where everything wasn't actually a pound, despite what the name suggests), and he built up quite the collection. Hot Wheels, if you're not familiar, are little toy cars.

But what of the rest of the experience? In truth, I'm somewhat torn over the direction the dev chose to go in, even though it makes perfect sense given the license it's working with. Top marks to Milestone for nailing this most wonderful racing game mechanic, then. It is, on its own, reason enough to give Unleashed a try. Getting it right in Hot Wheels Unleashed, watching your chosen mini car skid perpendicular to the corner's apex before straightening out like it's being driven by Jason Bourne, is a thing of real beauty. So, it gives me great pleasure to report that Hot Wheels Unleashed, from Milestone, a game developer known these days for sim racers but who originally cut its teeth on a string of tremendous arcade racers, nails the powerslide.

They sprouted thicker and faster than a TV-dad's afternoon shadow, and then they just disappeared. There was a time, back before this website existed (and I expected before some of you were born) where you couldn't see a single cover-based shooter through the dense forest of arcade racers. You don't really see enough of that in games these days. I love a bit of powersliding around a corner.
