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 s 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.
Game Rant: 3.5 / 5 by Dalton Cooper
Hardcore Hot Wheels fans will get the most out of Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged, but even casual racing game fans will have a lot of fun with the game. Not everything clicks, and the game could have benefited greatly by having more variety with its track environments, but Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged is an exciting racer with a great set of creation tools that should keep fans busy for quite some time.
Push Square: 8 / 10 by Simon Fitzgerald
Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged is a highly polished, fast-paced, fun, and robust racing sequel that builds upon its predecessor in all the right ways. Addressing almost all our criticisms of the previous title by adding impressive core mechanic modifications in the form of jumps, dashes, and new terrains, removing loot boxes, and adding obstacle immunity skills, Milestone has created a fantastic follow-up arcade racer to be reckoned with.
Nintendo Life: 8 / 10 by Tom Massey
Fans of Hot Wheels will feel well served from a nostalgia point of view, and inspired by its huge number of new modes. Unleashed 2: Turbocharged combines furious arcade race challenges with childlike creativity, being able to build tracks any which way, and race them to breaking point. You can feel the Switch's lack of muscle, with a markedly smudgier feel than the grip offered by more powerful consoles, but as a racing experience bursting with customisation, modes, and creativity to mine, it's both an excellent successor to the 16-Bit Micro Machines legacy and sits firmly in pole position over its predecessor.
