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 supports 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.
Hardcore Gamer: 4.5 / 5 by Jeremy Peeples
Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 takes everything that worked about the original and expands upon it. The core racing action is improved across the board with more kinds of races to partake in and a more in-depth story mode to keep things moving forward. There's always a goal to attain with XP gaining new vehicles and parts and every race feels like it serves a greater purpose. It controls like a dream, looks gorgeous and offers a satisfying, fast-paced racing experience for all who seek one. Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 is among the best licensed racers of the past decade and a must-play for racing fans.
COGconnected: 78 / 100 by Jaz Sagoo
Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged improves on its predecessor with refinements on the track and new modes. The multiplayer portion has had an overhaul with new modes that take advantage of new mechanics to offer more variety. However, the small number of environments is still an issue and makes the different tracks feel too familiar. Milestone sticks to what worked which results in a very similar experience. While it does improve on the original, it doesn’t add enough to make its way up the podium.
GameSpot: 6 / 10 by James Carr
How Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged brings plenty of small improvements but doesn't fundamentally change much from the original.
