Out on the tracks themselves, though, the cars arguably look even better – even after they’ve been scratched up and chipped during a race. It would be cool to see some of the ’70s and ’80s models with the Redline and Ultra Hots wheels I remember from my own childhood, for instance. At any rate, the full game will reportedly feature over 60 cars, so hopefully some older Hot Wheels cars will also be included. That said, reissues like the classic Twin Mill obviously date back a lot further.
There were 28 different cars available in the preview version, all of which hit pegs within the last 10 years (the menu notes when the model was released). I know my sons got particularly excited whenever they saw one they knew was in the Hot Wheels bucket tucked away in their wardrobe. It took me a long while to even enter a race because I lost a huge amount of time looking through the car list and just inspecting them.
