    It’s a fun title for the kids, and even older gamers may get a bit nostalgic value of their old Hot Wheels cars.
  2. 45
    The game becomes repetitive and boring after just half an hour and the gameplay is just too dull.
  3. 35
    Although the gameplay isn't quite broken since it's still physically possible to participate in races, it just isn't fun.
  4. With a gazillion top racers on 360, you'd have to be bonkers to drive this home. [Feb 2008, p.79]
