Might look like a kids game but its not, AI is one of the hardest I've faced in an arcade racer. Even with cars maxed out the AI will still challenge your position and I was playing on Medium difficulty. Speaking of cars, they look awesome and perfectly capture the look of the die-cast cars. My childhood memories of receiving Hot Wheels cars as gifts came flooding in again as I played this game. You can even customize your collected HW cars in-game with a livery editor, so you can truly personalize your fave cars as your own.

Tracks are amazing, an insane amount of variety and challenging in a fun way to race across. There's also an in-depth track editor which means you could spend hours just creating your own.

Multiplayer menus seems bare but in this game less is more, I play in Asia and so far have matched with Europeans and North American players and there isn't any BS slingshoting that you'd see in other racing games so I have been able to race head-to-head with other players no problem. MP races are a blast to play and you earn coins in MP as well so its a great way to grind them for more cars.

Overall I highly recommend this game to anyone looking for a quality arcade racer, its been years since HW came out with anything decent. This game is light-years away in terms of quality, lots of attention was paid to gameplay and details. This game as with any other game are not without flaws: the campaign is simplistic, menus are simple-looking and camera options are limited. But these are fairly minor gripes for me, the game is amazing and is something which you can pick up and play whenever you feel like it.
