Hot Wheels World Race
© 2004 THQ, Inc.
Fun and fast-paced, this 1 or 2 player racing game has a dark theme, but is a good deal more fun and sophisticated than previous Hot Wheels games. The Windows version is nearly impossible to install and use, however. Stick with the console version. The setting is a futuristic world called the Highway 35 circuit. Your job is to race against opponents on tracks featuring split/multilevel courses, obstacles and speeds. You will be able to pull off stunts, speed through loops, drive up walls, find hidden shortcuts, or race through volcanoes, ice mountains and other environments. Music is by Smash Mouth. The game was developed for THQ, Inc. and Mattel by Climax, also known for MotoGP. Borrow it or buy it.
$19.95, Windows, PlayStation 2, GameCube, Game Boy Advance
