A Blast from the Past
Preliminary reviews for the new Hot Wheels game are generally positive, though to varying degrees. In our own review which we put up on the OverTake YouTube channel, we noted that the core gameplay and variety of cars and tracks in the game were two strong points, but that the game was found a little lacking when it game to its singleplayer story mode and its multiplayer capabilities.
