Hot Wheels Unleashed Boosts Past 2 Million Copies Sold

I enjoyed it for a while, but burned out on it and deleted it. While the tracks are interesting, the challenge is 90% about the boost, so the best car is the one with the most boost. No matter how may fun cars you have, the one with the most boost is the one you need to drive. It stripped a lot of the fun out of it, for me.

Never finished the SP campaign - maybe half the map uncovered.

One of my favourite platinums earned from last year through PS Plus. Took me by surprise just how much fun I had with it. The expansion dlc races are a little on the pricey side though, even when on a sale. Always need a fun racer every couple of months

That's precisely some! I am neither here nor there with this game. I have no urgency to play this game, but if I'm doing nothing on a rainy day, I'll put it on.

They inevitably made more money on DLC and season passes than they did on that 2M copies sold. The game was fun, but repetitive and grindy, so I didn't play it long. I also didn't like the game's business model because you would pay for a season pass and have to play a ton to get anything out of it, which I suppose is the whole season pass model, but these season passes were weak.

I'm surprised, seeing as the game was super hard and not kid friendly at all. The advanced physics engine sucked all the fun out of it for me. My daughter's friend tried and quit before finishing a lap because he got launched off the side of the track and got himself lost. Poor kid loves Hot Wheels, too. I felt bad for even suggesting he play it.

I wish they would have taken a more reserved, arcadey approach to the feel of the game and mixed it with track-wide events a la Split/Second. Could have made an incredible, family-friendly title. It was just way too hardcore of a racer for the IP.

Love this game, I'm currently grinding for the 25'000 gears trophy needed to plat but it just wont ping.

I found it super easy once I found out where all the shortcuts are for most of the tracks and obviously getting used to the car physics early on. The only thing that annoyed me was the grind for gears towards the end of the platinum which really wasn't that bad considering I was playing the updated version at the time which had lessened the grind a bit. I found getting gold times on all of the GT7 licences super easy, so Hotwheels Unleashed was a walk in the park

@MFTWrecks I am a very casual gamer and didn’t find it hard at all. It has adjustable difficulty.

@rockodoodle And none of them felt satisfying. The normal difficulty demanded perfection resulting in loads of rubber banding and frustration, but then you knock it down and it became a walk in the park.

There was no sweet spot.

@EmperorJake same here I couldn't get off it when on it, super fun plat. Did you get the online multiplayer race wins trophy done

Honestly, this game brought me back to my old time favorite ReVolt. So much fun. I still play regularly. GIVE ME MORE DLC

@Beerheadgamer82 Yep I've done everything apart from 25 thousand gears. I must be close because I have the 10 thousand gears trophy and have another 7000 saved up, I just wish the game would tell you how many I have overall so I know how much more to go. The 100'000 coins trophy pinged weeks ago!

Not bad.
Now, let’s get another Hot Wheels Velocity X, that was would excite me.

It's a fun game, but I quickly learned how the speed stats only really help you out during time trials, for actual races the game just automatically sets you up with similar performing opposition with rubberbanding. I guess that's both a good and bad thing as it leads to me using slower cars more often.

One of the few games I was motivated to play through to get the Platinum and found I got stuck needing a 2nd PS5 controller to get it…!
