    Though one of the things that shouldn't be forgotten is that it included the bane of modern gaming, battle passes which means that certain cars are now NEVER obtainable again for people that wasn't there at the time. Which should be a massive no no for any game that focus heavily on "Collect them all" like gameplay

    Is a real shame that both this game and it's sequel are so underrated. This is what people have been asking for since ages and now people ignore and hate them.

      Probably because it’s been ages ago and by the time the games were out, the racing game market has been over saturated with other kinds of formulas
      It’s to the point that even a game as simple as re-volt isn’t being talked about as much anymore

    Mate, you're a complete gem of a youtuber. I've seen many guys on TH-cam doing the same sorts of video with (arguably) better presentantion than yours. But they mostly lack soul and passion on the narration part. You've got that. That soul and passion when talking about games (especially racing ones, imo). You don't sound desperate, as if you felt the urge to scream and say loud words at every time, no. You sound calm and confident.
    That's the thing I admire the most in your videos.

    So glad that Unleashed 2 is going to carry on the legacy of those titles.

    It's not just all facets of media that Hot Wheels has ingrained itself into. It's become part of our culture. There's something about toy cars that brings people together, with Hot Wheels being the top dog. I sparked up a conversation in a Discord server just by making an admittedly stupid joke involving the Bone Shaker, which quickly went to a conversation about collecting, fond memories, and discussing the unrealistic nature of some original design cars. It was a positive memory I can recall back to when discussing Hot Wheels. Countless friendships are made with this brand as the catalyst, and the success of the Unleashed series so far has me hopeful for future games to learn and improve upon each other, with hopefully fantastic critical and financial results.

    Hot Wheels Unleashed was very underrated game imo. While it wasn't perfect and the way the DLC was handled could've been better, but it was a breath of fresh air for racing games. Like The Crew 2, I did spend a lot time into game and even if did get repetitive. The main impact of the game to me was how cultured the game was as it showed off what I remembered about Hot Wheels. Since then, I'm back to collecting more Hot Wheels cars and I'm planning on going to Hot Wheels Legends Tour later this year. For HWU2, I'm interested to see what happens in the game as the new stuff sounding promising, but I want to see more of it before I buy it.

    The Hotwheels Unleashed games are the absolute best feeling racing games I've played in years. You have total control of of the drift and it's easy to get around the tracks perfectly with a little bit of practice. The 2nd one's campaign fixed many of the issues I had with the first one and the control is more loose in a good way. Great video.

  • @Jellyman1129

    Instead of a How Wheels game with life-size cars and a story and gritty graphics, Hot Wheels Unleashed has the actual toy cars with orange track in a large life-size room. Focusing on the essence of How Wheels itself instead of the essence of popular racing games was a great design choice.
    I also like how there are no distractions. I don’t play racing games for the story. Thankfully, this game has no story, no cutscenes, no human characters, and no dialogue. Just racing, the way I like it. 😎🏁🏎️

Anyway, HWU was so much fun with the roster and track design which led to insane shortcuts where you could cut half of the track on some. Game was money well spent but that goty edition thru me off guard for sure.

    My first Hot Wheels toy car was a Ferrari F50 in 2000 and first game was Micro Racers in 2001.
    During the 2000s decade, we had a plethora of Hot Wheels game releases and animated series apart from the toys.
    Last concrete video game we played was Beat That in 2008-09.
    During the 2010s decade, everything fell off. Hot Wheels went into doing DLCs with other racing franchises and had mediocre animated series like Team Hot Wheels, maybe because the company founder, Elliot Handler passed away in 2011, leaving big shoes to fill.
    When the Italian studio, Milestone Games was given the license to make Hot Wheels Unleashed, the 2020s decade saw a turnaround somewhat.

    I do think it's a bit of a misstep to forget to mention Stunt Track Challenge in the list of Hot Wheels games that Unleashed could've taken inspiration from. Especially in terms of vehicle customization. Honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing a potential remaster/remake of that and World Race in the not too distant future.

    Sadly, for me this game just didn't click with me. I certainly can see its positives, and I can't deny this was a successful title. However, not having vehicle classes, really bad difficulty scaling, unrewarding vehicle progression (since high tier vehicles can be gained very quickly through blindboxes), and it being overly monetized for a game I felt wasn't worth $50, it really disappointed me. In saying that though, Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 already looks to be a massive improvement over the first. I get the feeling Milestone really listened to the community's feedback, so I'm really looking forward to that game!
    Also, on a side note, it's good to see you doing racing game videos after the issues previously!

    Steam and Epic got L for this. Yes there is the switch.
    The sad part is they accidentally added cross play to steam/epic and removed it immediately.
    The multiplayer is dead in steam and epic(I am steam user). and for some reason my game never connects to their server.
    And lack of game modes is also big factor the game feels like a prototype or testing product.

    Fair if you're not a fan of Dirt 5 (you display them as an example towards the end of your video), but to argue that it is an example of a game that doesn't know its audience... is simply untrue. Its an arcade racer through and through and makes no effort to appeal to a sim audience. Granted, thats also a reason so many have soured on it, but to imply that its unsure of its identity is misleading. Dirt 4, yes maybe. Ironically, this game which is arguably the. most confused on its identity, is also the one most beloved by the sim community. Go figure.
