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
