![]() ![]() However, you only need to do this once, and then you can do the race again with a better car to get a better time. This car isn’t the fastest in the game, and the race is much more of a challenge as a result. With both the car and the race unlocked, you can finally access Reckless Driving and fly around the track with Bone Shaker. Only then can you unlock this Secret node. This car doesn’t unlock until you defeat the final boss either, so for both parts, you first need to make your way through almost the entire campaign. Next, you’ll need to complete the race with Bone Shaker. That’s only halfway to unlocking this Secret, though. Once you’ve completed that race, the node will unlock, and you can access Reckless Driving. The clue tells you no more than the words Top Secret, and you have to work out what. To even attempt it, with Bone Shaker or not, you need to defeat the fifth and final Boss Race in the game: Ghost Seekers. Out of all the Secrets in Hot Wheels Unleashed, the Top Secret mission node is the toughest to complete. The Reckless Driving race is locked behind another Secret. However, that’s much easier said than done. You need to complete the Reckless Driving race with the Bone Shaker car. This is where Hot Wheels Unleashed comes in.This Secret seems to have an obvious explanation. In short, it is a simple 3D arcade racing game. If you've played any arcade racer, then it won't take you long to get to grips with. The gameplay is disarmingly simplistic with the only inputs you need being accelerate, brake and boost. ![]() On PC, it is a simple push of spacebar to start drifting. There are nuances to master as each car drifts differently and has a different boost level to manage but it doesn't take long to get to grips with it. Tracks also have shortcuts to make use of and, after several races, you can accurately pinpoint where they are thanks to handy game design. Just make a note of corners laid out by cones and air vents as you usually can't go wrong with those shortcuts. The tracks themselves are varied in design. Most tracks usually have a loop-de-loop, jumps, off-track sections which are marked out by cones and occasionally a section of the track is upside down. Some tracks have all those variations, others might just have one, but it makes every track unique, and the longer courses add branching paths on top. This variation is much needed as there are only 6 stages that races can take place on, those being: Basement, Skate Park, Skyscraper, College Campus and Garage. This does mean that you will be seeing the same areas with only the track design keeping things varied. That being said, it's incredibly easy to jump off the track or make a mistake which can lead to you having to respawn. Hot Wheels: Unleashed is a good game if you are a fan of the franchise and looking for a racing title that goes straight to the point without the need to master. If you make a mistake in a later stage of the race, then it's unlikely you'll reach a podium finish at all. So, expect to restart in your first few races until the game starts to click. ![]() Luckily, the races and time attacks are short so you won't be forced to replay long tracks. This doesn't apply to boss races, which are the longest races in the game, but you usually have time to make up for a mishap instead. ![]() The rubber banding is also noticeable and leaves car stats useless. I got a Koenigsegg which had the highest stats for acceleration and speed and I still watched cars pull away from me like I was driving a lorry. Obviously, this keeps every race competitive but it does mean that you have to make smart use of shortcuts and your boost. The single player takes the form of the City Rumble mode. It has about 50 quick races, 30 time attacks, 5 boss races and some secret races to complete which are spread out on a city map. The paths can be opened up by completing events and the goal is to finish every event on the map. The boss races are a notable highlight with them being a full length, 3 lap race, so you won't be finished within a couple of minutes. Hot wheels unleashed the best event full# They're exhilarating and kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time.
