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.
ZTGD: 8.5 / 10 by Ken McKown
Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 is the definition of a perfect sequel. It keeps what made the first game work and improves what didn’t. I loved this iteration much more than the original and can see myself playing this for a long time. I wish the cars were more available and not packaged as DLC, but I get why they are doing that. I wish I got some carry over from the first game, but on its own Unleashed 2 is a great time that I cannot recommend enough.
PlayStation Universe: 6 / 10 by Alan Strawbridge
Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged is a fairly decent approximation of toy car racing, with the added bonus of being able to customise your car collection and design your own tracks. However the karting / arcade gameplay doesn't quite click in either direction, and the failure to make the game accessible for younger children adds to the feeling of mild disappointment which pervades the whole game.
Average score from votes.
