Been a while since my last review so I'll make this short and concise =)

This is among the top of my most wanted games list. Furthermore, the graphics overhaul enhances its experience either for new players or a hardcore nostalgia person. One major thing that I've noticed (during my migration from CODEX's pirated copy to original on Steam) is they nerfed most of the steering mechanics so cars tend to glide further (and sometimes longer). In addition to that, they seemed to... either not caring or not realizing that the AI (even on Hard difficulty) is slightly forgiving than they used to be. In summary each races or events will end faster but that's okay since I'll eventually buy every expansion to enjoy HotWheels for slightly longer.

P.S.: My pirated save is 100% compatible with my original copy without any extra workaround, so I'll have to give a shout to Milestone for that convenience (it also reads my progress of 2/3 expansions entirely) xD
Although by nature Unreal Engine 4 is not the kind of game engine that limits their users strictly, especially in terms of data encryption, so I was kinda expect that will happen =D
