One of the biggest franchises around, Mattel?s Hot Wheels series of miniature racing collectibles is hugely popular with kids, and perhaps even a few older collectors. Hot Wheels continues to evolve, and has made more than a dozen appearances in video games. That trend is set to continue with the release of World Race for GameCube. Thrust into the Hot Wheels fantasy world once again, players are charged with partaking in a selection of futuristic racing events with a number of 35th anniversary edition motors from the Hot Wheels range. Many of the game?s circuits are reminiscent of classic racers such F-Zero X, Extreme G and Rollcage, in which players are challenged to race at breakneck speeds, up vertical walls and loops, looking for shortcuts in order to beat the opposition to the finish line. The simple Hot Wheels play mechanic remains intact for World Race, making it easy to pick up. Simple gameplay, however, means the challenge from your fellow racers is much greater, and you?ll need to race extremely well to win some of the game?s later races. A multi-player option in which gamers can race head-to-head gives World Race a great sense of longevity, and the visuals don?t suffer as a result either, making World Race a great addition to the virtual Hot Wheels series.

[Highly rated reviewer]

I didn't play the game, but my son (age 8 and a BIG hot wheels fan) did not think much of it, probably too much game and not enough customization.
