The general mechanics are well executed and once you’ve found a car that suits your style, you’ll be fanging around tracks at high speeds. When it comes to Hot Wheels Unleashed’s core gameplay, getting behind the wheel of these iconic racers is an extremely fun yet sometimes frustrating experience. If you want to buy a new car directly, the Shop will offer you five different vehicles at a time, and if none take your fancy you can wait for the stock to refresh, which happens every few hours. Thankfully the difference between the price of Blind Boxes (500 coins) and the sale of your vehicle usually covers the cost of the Blind Box, so you can simply sell and try again.
Hot wheels unleashed start boost upgrade#
If you do happen to obtain a car you already own, you can sell it for Coins (the game’s currency) or break it down for Gear (a resource that allows you to upgrade cars). It’s extremely tedious and it put me off opening them until I had a few in the bank – I struggle to believe that Milestone couldn’t think of a more intuitive way of handling Blind Boxes. Bizarrely, if you want to open a Blind Box, you’ll need to do so from the Shop menu, meaning that if you’re in another mode, such as Hot Wheels City Rumble, where you’ll unlock the majority of the Blind Boxes, you’ll need to leave that mode, head to the Shop, open the box and return.
Blind Boxes are earned by completing events in Hot Wheels City Rumble (more on that later) or bought directly from the Shop. The most common method of unlocking new vehicles is via Blind Boxes – a loot box-style system that gives you new cars at random. You’ll start with a handful of cars, with the rest either unlocked via progression, as well as won or bought. They may be toy cars, but they are some of the best vehicle models going around and wouldn’t look out of place in Forza or Gran Turismo. As I mentioned in my preview, the car models are incredibly detailed, to the point where you can actually tell the different materials apart, making them look like their real-life counterparts. Some of the cars include the glorious Dragon Blaster, Bad to the Blade, Tricera-Truck, as well as crossovers with some of the biggest brands and IPs, including Audi, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Batman, and Milestone has committed to bringing more cars to the game in future DLC drops. Of course one of the coolest things about owning any Hot Wheels model was the design itself, and Milestone has included 66 different Hot Wheels cars at launch for players to get around, each with its own traits (acceleration, handling, boost amount, braking, you know the deal).
