With a total focus on fun, amazing visuals, and lots of welcome additions and improvements over its predecessor, Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 is one of the surprise packages of 2023. While the story mode lacks in some areas, and younger gamers are definitely the target audience, there’s still a lot to appreciate and enjoy regardless of your age.
Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged takes the very solid core of its predecessor and adds a plethora of smaller changes, making it feel fresh. The updates make racing even more challenging, strategic, and thrilling, with the track editor standing out as one of the best in the genre. It's a shame about the imbalanced difficulty, the element of chance in obtaining new vehicles, and the lack of truly groundbreaking innovations. Nevertheless, it remains a highly entertaining racing arcade, a rarity in the genre.

Hotwheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged is exactly what was needed in terms of building upon the success of the 2021 starting point. With fast-paced gameplay, creative and fun customization, as well as addictive progression systems, players will be pleased to know that the Hot Wheels gaming experience is back and better than ever.
And damn near every race did that; the close calls with difficult AI, the times I skimmed through each trap by the skin of my teeth, that extra-long drift into a straight where I thumped the boost. Every race made me feel excited or like I’d achieved a glimmer of brilliance. Because every race created ‘moments’.
There’s a game in here that is easy to wholeheartedly recommend, but it’s caked in so much garbage that you really have to ask a lot of questions about what you want from it, about what you’re willing to put in.
With new vehicle types, environments and driving mechanics, Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 is the ideal arcade racer for the young and the nostalgic veteran alike.
Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged does make improvements over the original, but it is still largely the same game. The added depth to the racing itself is where it shines the most and the new vehicle classes provide a nice complexity and incentive to use a wider variety of Hot Wheels. The challenges and rewards are disappointing and the story doesn't add much to the campaign, but most of your time will be spent burning plastic on orange tracks, which is still fun.
Its almost like a huuuuuuge update of the first one, theres a little simple story mode, it controls better, drift is also better, damn theres a big bunch of content compared to the first one
My only issue is the DLC cars, but oh well it's something unevitable

Very similar to the original with some meaningful quality of life improvements. Happy to see treasure boxes go away in favor of a more transparent and user-driven car unlock mechanic. Fun new traversal powers and some truly epic challenges in the endgame. Track editor is much improved as well. Cutscenes in story mode are low-budget, cheesy, but thankfully also skipable. If you liked the original, this is a no-brainer! If you haven't tried this series, get ready for really fun and surprisingly deep racing gameplay that will challenge you and keep you coming back. Gotta beat thatl ap time!!

The reason for my ZERO is the game forces you to install Easy AntiCheat. Tried playing on Xbox Game Pass but gave up before opening the game. I refuse being forced to install this program just to have a few hours of fun with the game.

Summary The world’s raddest cars are back and taking the fun to the next level! Race over 130 vehicles with crazy new mechanics and even more vehicle types. Plus, build your tracks with stunning new environments and different game modes to have fun off and online!
