The main part of the Hot Wheels game consists of two modes: Adventure & Challenge. In Adventure mode (14 levels), you drive around and fulfill certain requirements. For example, you might have to reach a destination in a set amount of time, but you also have to destroy a couple of other vehicles and/or collect items along your way.

In Challenge mode (18 levels), you have to perform a task in a set amount of time. In some levels, you have to perform "tricks" and spin your car around to earn points. In other levels, you have to collect gears or speed along a course while avoiding barrels...etc.

There is also a Free Roam mode where you can drive around certain worlds looking for gears or a hidden key. Your rewards for doing so are new cars which you can unlock. There is also a multiplayer mode where up to four players can try and destroy each other with a lot of weapons.

How's the gameplay? Well...certain things are rather frustrating. The cars control quite poorly and have trouble making sharp turns. Another problem is that there is sometimes an arrow at the top of the screen which is SUPPOSED to show you where to go. I think the programmers were chuckling when they developed that because it often steers you in the wrong direction.

Problems aside, though, I rate it 3 stars because I found it to be quite entertaining. The missions are pretty fun. They give you a lot of cars to choose from and weapons to use against your enemies. I was pleasantly surprised at just how expansive the racing areas were.

The difficulty setting is just right as well. You can choose from Easy, Normal, Hard or Very Hard, so just about any skill of gamer can enjoy "Hot Wheels: Velocity X". The graphics are adequate but nothing impresses very much. Overall, this is another in a long list of games that I would recommend you rent, but a purchase might not be worth your money.

Game is pretty fun for both kids and adults. Upside: battle mode was the best part of this game. My kids go wild each time we play. Downside: you only get 3 cars to start and you must unlock everything. There isn't enough pure racing in this game to suit me, but the kids luv it anyway. If you're into racing games, then wait for Fzero. If this is for your kids, then by all means get it. All in all, this is a fun game!

This game is fun, but VERY hard! I had a very tough time getting all the 10 red gears on the 1st level. However, I got 5 out of the 10 red gears. Not bad, huh? If you are a hardcore videogame player, buy this, or if you aren't a hardcore videogame player, buy this and just play for fun.

I know that whenever I read a review for this game somwhere else it's always by adults who giv it a bad score. If you like hotwheels cars you'll love this game like me. Adults probably wouldn't like this game that much but if a kid you'll love it! Its so much fun, it has bad physics but thats a good thing because it weouldn't be fun if you couldn't fly off ramps and do amazing stunts using you controller. It's adventure mode is fun almost like your favorite saturday morning cartoon and is worth playing. Kinda cartooney caracters and a nice little story. It's hard to turn until you get the hang of it. The graphics are great and hot wheel cars look awesome but the games graphics probably won't be very good for adults. My favorite mode is battl mode where you get a bunch of weapons and beat up your opponets.If there too easy crank up the difficulty level! Challenge mode helps you unlock weapons to chose from adventure mode and cars. Adventure mode you unlock cars and tracks. There's joy ride mode where you get to cruise around any unlocked area. The areas/levels are HUGE! One place called like Crankshaft bay or somethin theres this huge roller coster to cruise on and do loop de loops.

Okay here's the deal there's a one player mode and a multiplayer mode. In one player you can either play Adventure mode which is the story. or you can play Chalenge mode which is simmilar exept no story and you can unlock more. There's also practice races and battles as well as JoyRide wich is free roming. IN multiplayer you can either battle or race. There's many cars too. Plus alot of cool weapons, like sonic boom, or ZapperCannon.
This is an overall good game, but don't expect it to blow you away.

This game is way to easy. The camara gets all twichi and there's not enough weapons.There are some cars that may be impossible to unlock(I think that way because you need to get to mission #18).I highly reccomend to rent it before buying it.

The Graphics are good. A wide selection of cars. Plenty of weapons. This is the number one game to buy!

This game rocks!!!! The graghics are GREAT!!!!!!!!!! Sound is perfect!! I would HIGHLY reccommend this game!!!

I just got MX Superfly and their is a preview for this game and it looks pretty fun.
