Mattel and Milestone Reveal Massive Garage of Rides in Upcoming Hot Wheels Unleashed™
Recently Lucas and I got to try out the next iteration in the Hot Wheels gaming sphere and while it was an early build the base is there for a good arcade racing title.
I like many of you reading this, older or young have had Hot Wheels in your hand at some stage. I have some of my favourites still to this day and wont part with them for anyone. Made even more exciting was when some of my cars that I still have stashed somewhere are in the game.
Below, we have the new trailer, and then some info on what is coming.
Be sure to check it all out.
