HOT WHEELS UNLEASHED 2 - Turbocharged

November 9, 2024 - Reading time: ~1 minute - Category: game library project

Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 is a free PS Plus game for November 2024. It's a classic example of one of those games that I'll try when it's free, but would probably never buy.I did the tutorial race and one of the campaign races and it's fine. Nothing special, just a simple arcade racer with the Hot Wheels branding, which is cool. But there's nothing spectacular here, and Mario Kart has such a grip on the arcade racer market that it's hard to recommend especially if you're not getting it for "free".

It controls fine though, and looks good. And if you're a fan of Hot Wheels you'll like it for sure. I had some of them growing up, and I played one of the games on PS1, but don't have a strong attachment to the brand. I'll probably try this one online with my brother and see how it goes.

Verdict: Timewaster

About

My name's Mike, and this is the Lore Depository - my spot online where I can write out my thoughts on games, books, tech, history, and anything else I find interesting. 

My biggest project is my Game Library Project. I have a ton of games collected throughout the years, and have barely played any of them. Check out the linked post to learn more about the project, and click here to be taken to the category page where you can see all my posts for the project.

Other content comes mainly in 3 forms:
Reviews, where I post longer-form writeups
Thoughts, short & quick first impressions posts
Guides, detailed how-tos and walkthroughs
