Forza Horizon 3 threw a surprise at Xbox owners with the inclusion of the Hot Wheels license. Since then it's been a question of when rather than if we would get a new standalone game based on the tiny cars. As you'd expect from a game based on a toyset that's all about gravity-defying maneuvers, Hot Wheels Unleashed is pure arcade fun. All you really have to think about is accelerating, drifting and boosting. What makes Hot Wheels Unleashed interesting, though, is the wildly creative (and sometimes incredibly devious) tracks. Dividers, bridges, and magnetised track that flips you upside down combine for some pretty wild courses, particularly on boss battles that have you compete to win classic Hot Wheels playsets. If you manage to exhaust all the in-game tracks, you can even build your own with the track editor. Somewhat surprisingly, Milestone is the studio working on Unleashed. They're best known for their motorcycle games that frequently lean into simulation territory. It's a decision that means that for all its arcade fun, Unleashed has a weightiness to its handling that makes gravity one of the stars of the show. There is, of course, a huge array of Hot Wheels cars to collect - muscle cars go up against badass vans, DeLoreans and just about anything else you can imagine, and every one of them has its own handling profile. Alongside a meaty single-player mode are a 12-player online multiplayer option and, true to Hot Wheels' bedroom roots, a two-player split-screen mode.
