[@godofthecripples1237]

I mean, most kids right now aren't that concerned with Hot Wheels as far as I can tell. I'll bet the brand is mainly surviving off of people a bit older buying them either due to nostalgia, because they think their kids will enjoy them, or maybe the brand is living largely off of things like this game and other brand deals.

[@crotchwolf1929]

Even better if your favorite car is in the game. Mines not but maybe I might luck out and see the Classic Packard as DLC.

[@bengreathouse6317]

Your a downer

[@mabybee]

@@cenciende9401 I’m 26 with a 17-month-old. I have friends that I hangout with regularly, (COVID has changed that some but even through small outdoor gatherings and lots of distancing) I go on weekly dates with my wife, I own a small house in the city and a 2016 Subaru, I play video games or watch movies/shows with my wife when my son is napping and/or goes to sleep for the night, I have a stable income and I don’t have to live at work to keep it stable; having a kid young doesn’t keep you from living life. Lacking a desire to live life is what keeps you from living life. (With exception, of course; I don’t want to make too broad of a statement since not everyone approaches life from the same starting point) Not everyone’s story is like mine; I’m blessed to have a small but stable family that loves my son and is willing to help with him as needed. They all also had children young, so they have an ability to relate that not every family has. There’s also no doubt that there are stressful times that make you want to just quit. But you make your decisions, put your head down, and live with what you’ve made. There are stressful times that make you want to quit even when you don’t have kids. People wait to have kids or don’t have kids for all kinds of reasons, both inside or outside of their control. I understand and sympathize with that. How one decides to live or has to live isn’t something anyone else can truly understand outside their own circumstances. Not having kids until you’re older because you think they’ll keep you from “living” is one of the more naïve reasons to not have kids. It honestly sounds more like an immature excuse someone makes to their nagging parents or insistent aunt at a holiday gathering but I haven’t had to consider that as a reason for not having kids while young myself, so I’m not qualified to make an absolute statement about that. If you have goals that don’t mix with the stability a kid needs from their parents, then wait until you’re able to have a stable home life or don’t have kids, that’s part of making an adult decision. But don’t think that not having kids will somehow keep “life” unlocked for you. That door will shut at any time for any reason. Pretending life ends when one has a kid is selfish if not narcissistic and shows just how ironically childish ones view of kids are.

I know there are a lot of Hot Wheels photographers out there, but the cars are very small and you'd need a good camera to take decent up-close photos, so the photo mode here would definitely allow a lot more people to enter that community, and perhaps start a whole new photo community dedicated to the game.

[@nathanmoore5435]

This game has several issues that most reviews seem to be overlooking. The two biggest ones in my opinion is first, the significant difficulty jump from easy to medium. It's actually kind of ridiculous. Medium is pretty damn hard and unforgiving at times and easy is way too easy, there's no legitimate middle ground for players and that's kind of frustrating. And the second issue is the constant track repeats. This game will make you do the same tracks over and over again and it makes the game get very dull very quickly.

This game has me engaged on a whole new level! I’m not the best at it, pretty consistent 4-5th place in lobbies but I love the feel of it. The game presents so many more challenges than I anticipated and at this point I take it more seriously than forza but don’t mind not dominating online. The weird thing is, there are not nearly as many bumper car trolls as there is in serious racing games which is great but odd because this is a game where bumping is much more acceptable. I love the scale and love how drifting feels like you put your fingers on the car and drifted it like a tech deck while making screeching noises as a kid. Solid game, can’t wait to see where it goes with the season pass.

Pro tip from the Turbo Racing days: doing flips during jumps get u a lot more boost. U dont have to try to get the boost dots if u play like we did back in the day. Its designed so we can still use the same things back then to gain massive boosts. Also, watch for shortcuts.

My birthday is coming up (October 9th for anyone wondering) and I’m looking to buy a couple of games and this series really helps me with picking which game I want. Thank you Gameranx

[@Garbasker]

Love the game... its a challenge tho. Some of the tracks are down right frustrating and yet fun n addictive. Half the time it feels like your hydroplaning tho.

[@MrGreed2000]

i wish more reviews focused on this. it just seems very unfair and floaty esp when needing boosts to make certain jumps but then flying off the rail. Im debating whether or not i should buy this game and this is the only thing holding me back. I wanted an arcade racer to mindlessly play at night without putting much thought into it, i dont think this game is that lol

[@anthonymaqueda5297]

I just bought it liking it so far

[@D4RKF4LZ]

Super-stoked to cop this for free!

[@fbkensarhd5279]

Reminds me a lot of Revolt. That was a cool game too!

[@DesuVR]

The last and only Hot Wheels game I ever played was Stunt Track Driver (Win98) and this reminds me of that, in a good way. This looks like every young boy's dream! Can't wait to play it, already pre-ordered it!

[@PS1212]

Reminds me of Burnout 3, Takedown (Best racing game in history) I LOVE IT!

[@Rohit.Gaikwad]

Dangerous Driving game gives Burnout vibes since some developers from that franchise built it. On the other hand hot wheels unleashed did give Burnout elements of drift to boost

[@mimix2331]

I love this, it looks so good!! It would be cool if they also added a side scroller mode kind of like Trials: Evolution and how they also utilized player-created maps

[@tegridyfarms6851]

*I can see them releasing Hot Wheel Unleashed exclusive Hot Wheels in store that you can scan into the game rather than adding multi transactions.*

[@russellpuff1996]

That would be dope! And a helluva way for them to make money while the customer can be satisfied in having both a physical and digital car.

[@angelofdeath7493]

That’s a ridiculously good idea.

[@joshuawilkinson6121]

What a fantastic idea!

[@MPRF12345]

this video probably getting a ton more news now that's been announced the game will be free on PLUS

[@dissonanceparadiddle]

As someone who adored stunt track driver this is exactly what I hoped it might become one day. As a smol bug playing a game with smol cars is very satisfying

[@Maliki79]

I'm sold on the track editor alone! All this game needs are weapons and I'd be golden!

[@EW1914]

Free on epic games 🔥

[@delroynathan7794]

The most complete game to be released in the last 10 years, all these new released games are so half baked that the creators get away with charging full cost for a game but with only half the content it’s supposed to have at launch. Just like CoD Cold War, I believe Hot Wheels will be a timeless game to remember.

[@kololala9326]

Heads off to you.

[@OPPSENHeimer]

Before I download...

[@R3AL-AIM]

I'm 23 years old and have 3 little kids of my own and I can't wait to know this off of Steam

[@zackari]

As a 28 year old man I love hot wheels, the show on tunami was great also

[@ashrafyounis7840]

it's now free now in epic rip those who bought it

[@infinityboy3798]

LOL, everyone from EPIC here 😂

[@nickolidudeman]

This looks like gratuitous amounts of fun. I might have to grab it, for my son of course. 😉

[@Macumazahn]

My 8yo son and I are loving this game so far. He gets a huge kick out of seeing vehicles he owns on the track, almost as much as I do.

[@fallofegg]

I can’t believe I’m actually watching one of these before buying a game.

[@Timothyosullivan1737]

who else here because its here on Epic Games?

[@m.faizansari993]

me... but I'm getting an error on the check out page... any solutions?

[@justsealy]

Me who has it for free with ps plus: Come on man, THATS TOO EASY

[@mayazimmerman6130]

Don't have money for it atm, but I'm a long-time Ridge Racer fan and I'm actually really excited for this. It looks like a really well-crafted arcade racer. While arcade racing is seeing a resurgence lately, so many of them look... game engine physicsy... not tight and intense. This reminds me of the thrill of a solid Ridge Racer title (with some Mario Kart and F-Zero gimmickyness), something I've been craving for a long time. As for being a Hot Wheels fan, I was never a big collector, but I had a good share of them as a kid in the 80s and early 90s, along with some of the classic orange tracks. One of my favorite things back then was the color-changing ones because color-changing was a thing back then. Now, I have a few that I've bought at the store and on ebay for photogrammetry purposes, but which I've come to enjoy just on their own, my favorite being the white Lotus Esprit with a forest green racing stripe. I really appreciate this review. It's only made me more excited to give it a shot when I can.

[@Mercury_TM]

The only Hot Wheels games I played were Turbo Racing, Micro Racers and those CDs that came in cereal boxes, so I was excited to see this game pop up on HumbleBundle. I was weary of buying because of other old titles I enjoyed as a kid being smeared over. Thank you for cementing my decision.

[@f1jones544]

I've collected Hotwheels since I was a little kid, around 1970, and still do. I'll definitely get this game. Great review.

[@torunsmok5890]

Worth noting you don't have to buy tracks with coins. All those tracks are unlockable via the 'campaign' mode

[@nurik4445]

my favorite is micro racers. my uncle got me after he got while on vacation abroad. i loved it as a kid and played the hell out of it

[@Imnotbotheredgary]

Totally diving into this tomorrow - I like the idea of some good old fashioned straightforward racing fun! Nice overview Jake, thanks man.

[@BlueKaiTheEnd-]

Haven't touched a Hot Wheels game since the old Stunt Track Driver pc games and the one on the N64. You've pretty much sold me on getting this now. I made a bunch of crazy tracks as a kid on the old games.

[@Brindlebrother]

A game that's pure product placement that doesn't feel like product placement. Perfection. Also 9:03 and the car selection screen: so photo real!
