[@CalcomYT]

This was a HOT review. I'd dare say you got the WHEELS rolling. Very EXTREME.

[@EmperorDank]

Badum tss

[@RadioTails]

That was WHEELIE good Cal!

[@metakn1ght]

How is it that we've managed to play almost the exact same games throughout our childhoods? I'm mildly terrified

[@UltraPrimeHunter]

lol that stop motion at the beginning. Gotta say, one of your better intros! Keep up the great work!

[@SquareEyedJak]

Thanks, glad people like it :D

[@RadioTails]

I got so exited that you were going to talk about "Hot Wheels Turbo Racing" for the N64 / PS1. Guess that game wasn't extreme enough. :( I had the N64 version when I was younger and I remember (that might not be a good thing) it being really good. The track designs were really cool. I want to play this game now.

[@DeodorantSniffer]

that FunHaus swag good choice Jak!

[@aaronphelps9591]

The first shot of you holding that blue hot wheels box was like getting hit by a truckload of nostalgia. I had one exactly like it as a kid. Thanks for all you do man love your videos.

[@homersams9015]

This is easily one of your best reviews.

[@SquareEyedJak]

Cheers :D

[@LeeQuackAttack]

Nice video as always, keep up the amazing work!

[@JaybillsGames]

Before even watching right off the bat this makes my day xD im sick in bed and you uploaded a review.

[@Svennoh]

Dude I love you these vids are great keep up the good work 👍🏻

[@gsmoker392]

Really loved this game. The Atmosphere was great and the races challenging

[@boofboof8622]

Chapter 12 or 13 or something like that. (Other Chapters can be found on SEJ's other videos) Jak panicked as his flight bar continued to beep - if it hit zero, he would fall into the ocean. With Spyro furiously flaming him over and over, he seemed to have no chance. Just as his bar was about to run out, Jak was suddenly struck from behind by a teddybear flying a small air ship. He grabbed it and forced the bear out. Then Jak cleverly climbed into the vehicle, and started shooting at Spyro, who struggled to dodge. The dragon then realised his flight bar was about to run out, so he hurried to fly through a floating ring to gain more time. As soon as his back was turned, Jak fired, stunning Spyro long enough for the dragon's flight bar to run dry. Spyro Fell. "Thank fuck." Jak sighed, "now how do I get out of here?" He took a moment to try and figure it out. Then suddenly, the sound of an engine could be heard, followed by a familiar voice. "I'm gona KILL YOU!!!" - it was Hunter. He was flying his plane, and Spyro was standing on the upper wings. "H...Hunter... oh shit." Jak instantly knew why the cheetah was pissed... or at least he thought he did. "Urm.. so I'm guessing you found Bianca?" "OH I FOUND BIANCA!" Hunter headed towards Jak, "and I also found... THIS!" He held up a positive pregnancy test. "What the..." Jak nearly fainted. "It can't be mine...." Hunter pointed to his own groin. "I was castrated as a cub you jerk. It IS yours!" "It CAN'T BE!" Jak shouted, "It literally happened last night! That's not possible!" "Yeah, and this is a world with talking dragons and cheetahs who fly planes." Hunter replied. "And this cheetah flying a plane is gona kick your ass!" Hunter pressed a button on his control panel and the plane started firing bullets at Jak. His ship was destroyed and he rapidly began to fall down towards the ocean.

[@Sunfire230]

Intro was awesome lol! good job man

[@EmperorDank]

I loved that timelapse, probably more than i should lmao, great video m8!

[@SquareEyedJak]

Cheers :)

[@mladjo1012]

Another awesome video keep on the good work

[@SirCrackerBulb]

heh....heh EARLY ACCESS FIRST

[@bestmillimeter1858]

Funhaus 😂

[@isaacrodriguez9960]

I used to have that hotwheels box with my collection when i was a kid dude.

[@terranceyoung1994]

I remember playing Hot Wheels Turbo Racing which came out a few years before this one. pretty underrated game

[@RevampedCobra73]

Nice going on that starting section. Also sweet to see that your a funhaus fan as well

[@KeybladeWielderXV]

Congratulations on hitting 9K subs Jak! Roll onto 10K! :D

[@johnisblessed4782]

Some awesome cinematography you got there.

[@TheMatheusLokin]

The opening of this game is awesome! but The opening of Turbo Racing it's a masterpiece

[@terranceyoung1994]

MEDetonados gotta love that Metallica

[@alexguz3108]

Nice review Jak! Your content is by far one of the greatest i have ever seen :D

[@SquareEyedJak]

Thanks dude :)

[@GundamrussGaming]

great review dude highly enjoyed :)

[@bbjb7459]

This was one of your reviews that i never ended up watching. Properly because it was in December but whatever. I thought it was really good and the hot wheels animation was halerious. Good job Jak ^_^

[@BluntAnims]

Your literally my favorite you-tuber right now, I love your Aussie sense of humour, which is very similar to mine, and I'm also a kiwi. :) Keep it up!!!!

[@SquareEyedJak]

Cheers dude

[@acrobat6216]

loved that stop motion video of the race.

[@ultimateyeetgod8467]

This game was the highlite of my Child hood

[@agi5522]

Wow, I actually recognize some of those cars. Great job on the intro ^^

[@SquareEyedJak]

Cheers :)

[@meikasroom851]

I had that same blue hot wheels carrying case when I was a kid lol.. nice

[@Rdup222]

The best Review you have done. Would you ever review turbo racing after this?

[@superlombax1561]

That intro must've taken a lot of time to pull off. I appreciate that.

[@gran_turismo_fan]

Nice video Jak, I loved the Skippy picture scene intro! I wanted to ask you if you can review a racing related game called "Gran turismo" I loved that game a lot in my childhood I was wondering if you can do a review of it.

[@cardenw]

That intro was amazing :p I know how much of a pain stop motion can be though so I feel sorry for you.

[@SquareEyedJak]

6 hours in the hot sun, 4 editing... cheers :D

[@oki1823]

lol looked like it started raining at the end there. Also good vid!.

[@SquareEyedJak]

Ha, it did :D

[@0AmyLouise0]

Haha well damn, I've had such a terrible week but seeing this has really put a smile back on my face, Jak, so thank you very much for that :) One of your funniest reviews for sure, made me laugh a lot :)

[@SquareEyedJak]

Sorry to hear that, glad I could cheer you up. Thanks :)

[@0AmyLouise0]

Oops I also forgot to 'up' my monthly pledge to you, I was meant to do that on the update video but I guess I got sidetracked - I've just sorted that now :)

[@0AmyLouise0]

You did cheer me up, thank you :)

[@SquareEyedJak]

Awesome, thank you :D

[@KeiraLunar]

kinda makes me glad the only hot wheels game i played was Hot wheels Turbo racing on the PS1

[@tomgerrits6349]

You just made my day 😀

[@Screedawg77]

When you got outside I was hoping you'd finally give us a taste of gardening tutorials.

[@SquareEyedJak]

Wait for the Outtakes video later in the month ;)

[@Screedawg77]

Square Eyed Jak OH BOY. I've been begging you to make gardening tutorials since you mentioned it in one of your streams.

[@goobrious7505]

So from best to worst: Crash Team Racing Looney Toons Racing Crash Nitro Kart Hot Wheels Extreme Racing,

[@WH250398]

I used to play the shit out of Hot Wheels turbo racing on the n64... So thanks for reminding me of it! Have you seen the extended gameplay footage from Crash remastered? It really looks good in my opinion. It seems that crash 1's stiff controls have been fixed. Thank god they added a savesystem too...

[@cookiestar456]

Jak reviews another childhood classic that doesn't hold up. 11/10

[@2004flippy]

It's winter and fucking freezing outside and here he is in his T-shirt.

[@SquareEyedJak]

Summer just started... be jealous :D

[@MusicJunkie37]

Dank intro man!

[@SquareEyedJak]

Cheers mate :D

[@SoniMarSponge]

Great review dude. Hey Square Eyed Jak, you ever played M&M shell shocked?

[@hackingdarts9547]

Awesome shirt m8!

[@TheSandwhichman108]

It’s insane to see hot wheels are still a thing even now. They dye cast metal makes them feel more like scaled down models then toys. There’s even internal detail. It’s great that these things have such quality and let’s not forget these are being mass produced and still have such a high level of quality to this day.

[@ToMaSsS10]

Nostalgia'd hard, I played this,the other one for ps1 and the GBA one. This one was my first game too.

[@mr.monster91666]

This production was Epic

[@Sephinova]

Great job on hitting 9K :)

[@SquareEyedJak]

Thanks Will :)

[@Sephinova]

No problem :)

[@joshamous5144]

Square Eyed Jak play Wild 9 it's an epic ps1 game and has a amazing soundtrack

[@instantalper5494]

REALLY nice intro m8

[@jamesthewatcher3932]

3:57 thanks for the explanation, eric cartman.

[@ThePokeTesla]

If this game is bad I wonder how the other 14 are! Also I think we have a better chance of Jak reviewing every Hot Wheels game than reviewing Ratchet and Clank, lol.

[@danielmontano-lobe9094]

ThePokéTesla Hot Wheels Beat That on the DS is a worthy 8/10. Jak! Review it please!!!

[@d4L66]

man i sure do remember owning that golden hummer as well

[@jjgam3r2.09]

love the shirt man;)

[@e93sports80]

Nice video!

[@cacaboss227]

I wonder if there are a lot more people who used to make frame by frame movies with hot wheels as kids.

[@ToastyMann]

"How do I look? SEXY AS F-" Advertisement appears. ITS ACTUALLY A FUCKING HOT WHEELS AD.

[@SquareEyedJak]

Haha awesome :D

[@HyperSonicXtreme]

A game that runs your childhood.

[@SporkSlayer]

I love seeing reviews to games I've never heard of. Also, I bet you're never going to have a stop motion section in any of your videos ever again.

[@SquareEyedJak]

Fuck no xD

[@SporkSlayer]

I figured. I'm in college to be an animation major. I know your pain.

[@SquareEyedJak]

SporkSlayer Shit, good effort. Can I see some of your animation?

[@SporkSlayer]

I haven't made anything I'd necessarily want to show off yet. I only recently got into animation and have only taken one true animation class so far. Basically I'm too harsh of a critic of myself to be comfortable showing anything off.

[@SquareEyedJak]

SporkSlayer That's fine, I want to see something down the line though :)

[@Undross]

Love the Funhaus shirt ;)

[@weissschnee1591]

That funhaus shirt tho.

[@JomasterTheSecond]

HOLY SHIT, I have that *EXACT SAME* Hot Wheels case from my childhood!!

[@PyroMaker3]

man what an intro XD

[@jamesohehir5728]

nice cartmen impression

[@DriftApe]

5:28 bright sun

[@mmarill5489]

Please say you're gona do Fox and the Hound 2 lol that shit is insane.

[@puffythedestroyer8878]

Not even the transformers sound effect should grace this one way ticket to the scrap heap

[@winterdragon7343]

This review was as hilarious as ever and wait...is that "Skylanders for the win!"? OMG SEJ you just got a million times better :)

[@ranaldsavage9017]

I can't remember which of the Hot Wheels games I played when I was younger but I remember loving the absolute fuck out of one of the PS1 titles. But something are better left un-visited.

[@BillyBob_McSanchez]

Try playing Hot Wheels Micro Racers. Only 3 tracks, 7 cars, two player multiplayer, and no power ups

[@RacingGamerJosh]

That was my first Hot Wheels game I ever played. I had lots of fun playing it as a kid.

[@wwemonkey619]

You should review Hotwheels stunt track challenge if you haven't already i just got it recently i had it when i was a child

[@MegaDriveProfile]

Lmfao I had this game too as a kid. Nice review Jak.

[@crust935]

I had this game as a kid aswell. I have some good memories of it too...but I revisited it earlier this year and like you, realised it was pretty shit. Nice video, its funny seeing someone else talk about this game to be honest, it seems pretty obscure.

[@ZombieGorilla1]

I think you should review a South Park game just so you can use your Cartman voice more.

[@michelangelo5903]

hotwheels stunt track challenge was the best!

[@ThomasDonofri]

ah. Hotwheels. I always loved hot wheels. so much that I hated matchbox for no reason.

[@Joyless]

Why not just fly over the water sections?

[@SquareEyedJak]

YES, exactly

[@Killagoose77]

How long did it take to set up and film the full race scene in the beginning?

[@SquareEyedJak]

6 hours to film, 4 to edit

[@thatonekidnooneknows7891]

I have some of the cars you have in the beginning of the episode

[@martin-mb6282]

Thoughts on other hotwheel games?

[@coltallic3114]

Is this the game with Fuel the song?

[@chloeneville800]

From a fellow Funhaus loving Tasmanian are you coming to RTX next year??

[@SquareEyedJak]

As much as I'd love to go and see them, I don't give a shit about anything else that would be there unfortunately :\

[@chloeneville800]

Fair enough! I met James and Bruce this year so I've basically accomplished my goals! I'll try and bring you down a poster ;)

[@SquareEyedJak]

chloe neville Sweet, so jealous now

[@JudgeBane]

Just curious, I know it's probably super easy and obvious, but how do I watch one of your live-streams live?

[@SquareEyedJak]

They're all here on KZbin. This weekend will be the final Live Stream of 2016, Crash Team Racing. What part of the world are you from, I'll let you know the time :)

[@JudgeBane]

Square Eyed Jak England.

[@SquareEyedJak]

Doctor Bane Ok, starts at 10pm this Saturday here on KZbin and KZbin Gaming :)

[@JudgeBane]

Square Eyed Jak Ah cool, I'll try and catch that.

[@TR1PLE_6]

Number of laps is a CHEAT?! Why is that even a thing? Most racing games have that as an OPTION, not a fucking cheat!

[@stephonjhn]

how'd you animate the cars to move like

[@SquareEyedJak]

Stop motion

[@TwoGunToast]

Why exactly couldn't you get past the start screen? Was your start button broken?

[@SquareEyedJak]

I honestly have no idea, either the controller wasn't plugged in correctly (we were very young) or it was just a total anomaly never to be seen again.

[@EmperorDank]

Turbo Racing is pretty lit. Then again im blinded by nostalgia.

[@Petronious]

Welcome to the cool hat club.

[@SquareEyedJak]

Cheers mate

[@salutcava9841]

When will you treat Rayman?

[@nikki8889991122]

Hahaha you look so cute in that hat with those sunglasses! You just look like you're so ready to go to the beach or the zoo! XD

[@SquareEyedJak]

"Safari Jak" ;)

[@daniolus]

Ooh ooh do Turbo Racing next! That one was better.

[@isaacrodriguez9960]

What about hot wheels unleashed now?

[@alex_zero9804]

How many fucking games based on Hot Wheels?!

[@isalt5]

"...and I bet this entire list is close to Simpsons levels of mediocrity, too." In terms of critical reception, at least; you're not that far off the mark. "Mixed" seems to be the standard for Hot Wheels games. On a side note, I'm glad I watched this video when I did. My initial reaction when I heard you speak was something along the lines of "Damn, an Australian", as I prefer foreign content creators. But I found myself watching more of your videos, and I eventually subscribed. You make good content in an era of clickbait, Fortnite and low-effort memes, and are worth subscribing to.

[@SquareEyedJak]

Cheer mate, appreciate it! :)

[@Yngdady]

Now Hot Wheels TURBO RACING

[@ihavenoname5800]

I ever played that game the first time i played that game is when my car became monster truck it's looked soooo fucking slow. And when i found my HW Extreme Racing disc it got broken.

[@GrayD_Fox]

Wait why was Wrath if Cortex mentioned among those good games?

[@orogamasama5525]

ahhh hahhaha shit i had that hot wheels case too hehe memories...
