HWU2: Turbocharged
Release Date: October 19, 2023
Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged is a sequel to the arcade racing game by Milestone from 2021. It features more licensed toy cars and numerous gameplay improvements, such as the jump mechanic.
Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged is a sequel to Hot Wheels Unleashed from 2021 - an arcade racing game based on the license of popular Mattel toys. Just like before, it was developed and published by Italian studio Milestone.
The game consists of fast-paced, wacky races on twisted tracks, made mostly of distinctive orange plastic. We'll also get to compete on other surfaces, depending on which of the five different locations we're racing in (backyard, arcade, gas station, dinosaur museum, mini golf course).
The tracks in Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged are more inventive than in the first installments. The player now has two new skills to use during the race: a jump and a dash. They let us ram our opponents, avoid traps and obstacles, interact with the environment or reach alternate tracks.
There are over 130 toy cars in the game, as well as new additions in the form of motorcycles and quads. Vehicles are divided into three distinct classes, while the player can personalize their driving style by purchasing perks with skill points.
Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged s singleplayer, as well as online and split-screen multiplayer.
The base gameplay mode is the story career. It tasks us with saving a city from destruction alongside four allies, who we get to know better during animated cutscenes.
There are some standard singleplayer modes - quick race and time trial - as well as challenges tasking us with ramming opponents or drifting.
There's also a track editor, more expanded than it was in the first game, as well as the custom sticker and paintjob creator.
Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged runs on the Unreal Engine. Just like in the first game, the toy vehicles look near photorealistically.

Game Ratings for Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged Video Game.
Game Informer: 7.8 / 10 by Louis Livingston-Garcia
I can’t knock Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged for too much; it’s an enjoyable, arcade-like racer that feels like something you might find in the arcade. It captures what it’s like to be a kid imagining race courses for your toys and offers an almost overwhelming customizable playbox. The quick races and variety in modes never let anything become too dull before you’re on to the next objective, boosting your way to victory. I’m not a Hot Wheels diehard, but the sheer creativity, speed, and customization hooked me.
Nintendo Life: 8 / 10 by Tom Massey
Fans of Hot Wheels will feel well served from a nostalgia point of view, and inspired by its huge number of new modes. Unleashed 2: Turbocharged combines furious arcade race challenges with childlike creativity, being able to build tracks any which way, and race them to breaking point. You can feel the Switch's lack of muscle, with a markedly smudgier feel than the grip offered by more powerful consoles, but as a racing experience bursting with customisation, modes, and creativity to mine, it's both an excellent successor to the 16-Bit Micro Machines legacy and sits firmly in pole position over its predecessor.
Digital Trends: 3.5 / 5 by Tomas Franzese
Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged enhances the original's formula is every possible way.
