The focus is on maintaining speed, building your boost meter with drifts, and staying ahead of the competition, but there are no power-ups to collect. In keeping with an arcade racer's tenets, Hot Wheels Unleashed keeps the racing mechanics simple, letting players of different skill levels jump in and start racing. ![]() Like in real life, the various tracks are constructed in common areas around the house, including bedrooms, backyards, and even a kitchen. ![]() In the preview build, we got to race on four tracks set in one of the game's backdrops, a garage, and the full release will include other settings to have your races. These tracks had names like Speed Vault, Spider Trial, Dragon’s Den, and Attic Troubles, to give you a sense of the difficulty and in-level gimmicks they had. The ones present in the preview build showed a solid sampling of the more challenging race types you can expect in the full game. The full game will also feature a variety of tracks with different themes and backdrops. There's an undeniable sense of nostalgia in Hot Wheels Unleashed, and the game certainly leans into that when it comes to reimagining the micro-racing vehicles as high-octane speed machines competing in races on the iconic bright-orange tracks. ![]() I found it fun to take the '90s Twin Mill for a ride, which was a favorite of mine back in the day. In the final game, there will be more than 60 vehicles to collect and take for a spin. Some of the available vehicles in the pre-alpha included throwbacks to the '70s Rodger Dodger muscle car and the Dragon Blaster from the recent Color Shifters line of collectibles. Playing Hot Wheels Unleashed felt like I was getting reacquainted with the same excitement I felt when playing Hot Wheels as a kid. ![]() Now Playing: Hot Wheels Unleashed Exclusive Gameplay By clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's
