HOT WHEELS Infinite Rush Reviews
Quote not yet available
There’s a ton of cool cars to unlock and secrets to find, although it won’t top Forza Horizon as the best open-world arcade racing game on PlayStation 5.
For younger players who want a bright collection of Hot Wheels cars and a big playground to drive around, there’s plenty here to enjoy. Players looking for the polished arcade-racing depth associated with something like Mario Kart, however, should probably keep their expectations in check.
Hot Wheels: Infinite Rush is a decent arcade racing game, but only because it features the same great handling from the Unleashed titles. Moving to an open world structure does little to add to the experience; if anything, I think it detracts from it. Having said that, there's absolutely still fun to be had here. Collecting all the cars and blasting through races is very enjoyable, and controlling these die-cast toys retains its appeal despite the game's faults.
My three-year-old boy is utterly obsessed with Hot Wheels. Me being an absolute sucker, I'll buy him a pack of the die-cast metal cars every time we...
Hot Wheels Infinite Rush is the latest Hot Wheels video game venture, giving players of all ages a robust sandbox to get lost in that brings the joy of collecting little toy cars to a game console near you.
Hot Wheels: Infinite Rush is a really solid driving game with some frustrating choices made here and there. The biggest issue really comes down to how unlocking things is structured, which, for all intents and purposes, would be fine if it felt like you were making real progress while playing. Still, it manages to justify itself by being a fun and welcoming title that sits comfortably behind the wheel.
Whether taking on Daredevils or tapping into its deep customization elements, Hot Wheels: Infinite Rush and its vast open world truly lets players race beyond the track.
Hot Wheels' attempt to make the leap to an open world doesn't quite work out. The driving is fine, and some tracks recapture the brilliance of previous installments, but the grind of generic activities, simple races, and lackluster environments, combined with terrible, dizzying music, results in a game that just can't seem to get off the ground. Its creative aspects and the chance to unlock legendary cars from the well-known brand are the only incentives that have kept me playing a game that isn't helped at all by its graphics engine, Unreal Engine 5

Hot Wheels Infinite Rush boldly transitions the beloved toy franchise into an open-world setting, boasting pristine technical performance, incredibly detailed car models, and robust creative tools like the Track Builder. The driving model is chaotic and engaging, perfectly capturing the essence of the toys. Unfortunately, this ambition is heavily weighed down by a repetitive, grind-heavy campaign structure, unrewarding race payouts, and the glaring omission of a fast-travel system. It's a gorgeous and fun sandbox that ultimately struggles to maintain its momentum over the long haul.

Hot Wheels Infinite Rush is a Hot Wheels fan’s dream. Best of all, it does the Hot Wheels brand even more justice.
HOT WHEELS Infinite Rush is fun but very simple. HOT WHEELS Infinite Rush is a fun, family-friendly arcade racer. It is perfectly safe, clean, and vibrant. Additionally, it is ideal if you have kids who want to waste a few hours without the risk of violence. Although it lacks the depth of other racing games, it does exactly what you expect. Accordingly, it is good, and I recommend grabbing a copy from the Xbox Store!
Hot Wheels Infinite Rush is probably the best Hot Wheels video game to date. Milestone gets it right with a fun open world to explore, great activities, races that are more exciting than those in Unleashed, and four types of vehicles that add variety to the simple, arcade-style driving.

Hot Wheels Infinite Rush is thoroughly enjoyable, with plenty of cars to unlock and some enjoyable challenges that make you want to explore the different islands.
Milestone manages to deliver a strong homage to the childhood days of playing pretend with toy cars with their new Hot Wheels Infinite Rush game.
Hot Wheels Infinite Rush is yet another fantastic game by a development team that knows what to do with the IP but the change to an open-world format holds it back from being truly incredible. If you’re looking for the kind of thrill you’d get from their previous titles, you may not get that itch scratched here but if you’re looking for something a bit more laid back, then this is for you.
Hot Wheels Infinite Rush delivers over its full length what could only be hinted at during a one-hour preview. The world holds up, the handling never grows stale, and the progression—which I wasn’t able to properly judge at the time—ultimately turns out to be the game’s greatest strength. The package still isn’t entirely polished, however, as the AI suffers from too many inconsistencies and the Track Editor falls short of its potential. But anyone who can get something out of the franchise will find noticeably more on offer here than the brief preview initially suggested.

Hot Wheels Infinite Rush is an entertaining arcade racing game that does a good job of capturing the essence of the original. The sense of speed is spot-on, and the tracks look great. The first few hours are definitely fun. After a while, though, the downside of the simple concept becomes apparent.

Hot Wheels Infinite Rush succeeds in transforming the franchise into an open world and delivering a competent racing base, but in trying to scale up, it ends up abandoning some of the creativity and craziness that made Hot Wheels special.

"Hot Wheels Breaks Free from the Orange Tracks" Hot Wheels Infinite Rush successfully expands the series' identity into a fun open world without abandoning the orange tracks, speed, and mayhem that define it. The variety of cars and activities, the class system, Track Builder, and multiplayer give the experience solid content, while the relatively heavy driving, limited storyline, and some concerns about repetition remain its main weaknesses. Nevertheless, Milestone delivers an ambitious and enjoyable arcade experience that makes it one of Hot Wheels' strongest games to date.
