![]() It’ll be a nice refresh to see what creations happen in-game in those areas. I’m hoping for future content such as DLC of crazy locations to build new tracks in as well. Other areas include a skate park, an open space garage, as well as a few other locations that you’ll get to race while playing the game. My advice for now, if new to the track creation, is to use the open space so you can be used to the options as well as allowing your mind to go wild as you build it. Track Creation Difficulty and GrowthĪt first, the track creation will take time to get used to, as it took me a few hours to really get used to the controls of placing the track, movement, and deciding on the best track part to use. Looking to split your track to go two ways, it’s there, changes a loop into a big tornado or a track going down the shelf you can do that. You’ll be able to go all over the place, bend the tracks to your whim, even convert to the magnetic road so you can drive sideways, upside down. Let’s say you decide to build your track in the basement. With the track creation itself, the world is your canvas and what I mean by that is. While a few other press members and I played tracks from the game in multiplayer, there were user-created tracks featured. One thing I enjoyed doing while creating one of my tracks was to have it turn magnetic and have it go all over the area being upside down, sideways, and at times to the point, you’re not sure if you’re driving upside down or right side up. The game itself has many options of track you can place, ranging from the iconic orange track, the loops, and more. In-game you’ll have the option of a few in-game locations to build your track within. How crazy could a track become? It’s to the point, if you have an idea you can most likely create it. This alone had me think up crazy ideas, as I played through the main game. With the open-world aspect of the game, you’ll have quite a few hours of gameplay ahead of you battle in one of the five boss races as well as work on unlocking all the tracks in-game.Īs I played through Hot Wheels Unleashed, I noticed there was an option to create your own track. While I’m someone that likes to work on fully completing an area such as this, I still have more to do and times to beat. An example is a car’s name, which may mean you must have that car and race with it and after doing so will unlock that race or time trial.Īt the time of writing, I’m 72% of the way into this part of the game and some tracks are longer, yet take time to complete the main game. While you may beat a track, doing so may unlock other areas of the world for you to race. Some bonus rewards can be an in-game currency, to upgrade your Hot Wheels cars, to even blind boxes to obtain new cars as well as cosmetic items for your user profile. The track’s challenges vary from beating set times, to even coming in first with other bonus rewards for doing so. ![]() Do you remember growing up with those city carpets? Playing with Hot Wheels cars and driving all over the place using your imagination? I’d like you to picture that, but your movement throughout the world will be limited to beating the tracks or figuring out what’s needed to unlock some tracks as well such as having a certain vehicle in-game.ĭuring your time playing, you’ll select the track highlighted from the direction you decide to go. It should be more comparable to a giant board game with levels. This city-like map isn’t exactly fully open. Hot Wheels Unleashed contains a map that allows for exploration. The one thing going through my head is what memories will be coming back to me as I play or see cars from years past. ![]() I’ll get to that last part later on! Just firing up the game, brought a lot of nostalgia to playing with Hot Wheels while growing up. These range from the orange tracks, crazy tricked-out vehicles, to the idea of creating a crazy track to race on. Hot Wheels Unleashed takes no shortcuts on all the iconic cars, and themes, many of us played with growing up. The company Milestone is a well-known developer with a focus on racing games it is interesting to see how Milestone took its years of racing game experience and put it into Hot Wheels Unleashed. Even with new details coming out, the idea of creating your own track in-game pulled me in further. Fast forward since the announcement and we have gotten to see more trailers leading up to the game’s launch on September 30th, 2021. So when Hot Wheels Unleashed was first announced, I watched the teaser trailer and became more excited. When it comes to racing games, I’m always keeping an eye out for the next game to play with friends.
