Hot Wheels: Extreme Racing
About the Game
Based on the Hot Wheels toy car collection, this racing game takes you on a wild ride though various, rather filthy, environments, fighting opponents to finish first in each race. The basic gameplay is similar to most racing games.
Gameplay & Core Systems
You control a car and races around tracks as fast as possible. By collecting pick-ups new properties can be obtained, such as nitro boosts, oil slicks, projectiles and other weapons. The computer-controlled cars can also collect the pick-ups and use them. Cars have the ability to transform into four different types of vehicles: racing, truck, plane and boat. The stages are divided into different parts, each designed for a specific vehicle.
