![]() So what makes Hot Wheels Unleashed good? For starters it distills everything arcade racers get right into one game. I guess saying “buy it, its good”, doesn’t really work as well if it’s not a mate with the same gaming tastes as you or if you’re not a kid who doesn’t have to worry about the cost of a games ’cause their parents will fork out for it, no matter the quality! I’m not going to beat around the bush, if you like arcade racers games that are a hell of a lot of fun to play and, at times, demand you use skill and timing to beat tracks, then Hot Wheels Unleashed is a MUST BUY. Well, surprisingly, its taken a game based on a larger set of toy cars – Hot Wheels – to recapture the spirit of those early, great and more importantly FUN Micro Machines video games… Hot Wheels Unleashed. There have also been a number of “knock-offs” (or homages if you prefer) that have made their way to consoles and phones/tablets in the intervening years – games like Micro Pico Racers and Toybox Turbos. Over the years there have been many new iterations of that original game, including the final game in the franchise, Micro Machines V4, which was released back in 2006. Anyone out there remember Micro Machines? Those tiny little diecast cars that kids, at least of my generation, went crazy for… Well if you’re old enough to remember the toys, then you’re surely old enough to remember the video games! Spanning multiple consoles, including the Sega Megadrive, Commodore Amiga and the Nintendo NES – the version of the game I loved the most – Micro Machines saw players race, fight and generally cause havoc across a variety of household settings in a top-down racing game that mixed odd, unfamiliar landscapes (billiard table anyone?), with ridiculously frenetic gameplay.
