HOT WHEELS Infinite Rush Reviews
Hot Wheels Infinite Rush is a fun open world take on the Hot Wheels formula, with a decent number of cars to collect, events to complete and collectibles scattered across its four islands.
HOT WHEELS Infinite Rush feels like an evolution from the previous HOT WHEELS games, and shifting to the open world setting was mostly a very good idea.
This charming racing game is ideal primarily for children and casual players. You can race across beautifully modeled islands, where there are plenty of races to run and things to smash. The arcade-style handling is easy for anyone to master. While we have seen all the game's elements elsewhere, here they are skillfully combined into a stylish, cohesive package.

While it improves upon the best qualities of previous games set in the famous toy car franchise, Hot Wheels Infinite Rush features an open world that is both its greatest charm and its greatest weakness. It created diversity by offering missions and tasks beyond conventional races, but it also diluted its potential and sense of novelty with repetitive activities.

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 from Milestone has finally delivered the sort of revolution we’ve been hoping for ever since the release of the previous Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged. The developers have managed to bring Hot Wheels cars into an open-world setting – which, in my view, is a success – that, whilst it has its flaws, represents a necessary and welcome change compared to the previous two games. It’s just a shame that the developers haven’t managed to make full use of the potential of an open – or, in this case, rather semi-open – world, and have only managed to get halfway there. I do hope, however, that Infinite Rush is the first sign of where the series is heading in the future. Seven and a half out of ten.

HOT WHEELS Infinite Rush takes a further step forward in video game adaptations of the famous Mattel brand. The Italian software house Milestone S.r.l. bets everything on a vast open world, backed by an unscrupulously arcade driving system in which whoever stops is lost (literally). Paradoxically, the biggest regret is that Infinite Rush slows down just a moment before greatness, taking refuge in a rich but far too ordinary content offering with no flashes of originality. Something that, above all, the most dedicated arcade racing players will quickly feel with a bit of fatigue. If, however, you are die-hard fans of the iconic die-cast cars and crave a new world to explore a quarter mile at a time, well... pedal to the metal!

Whilst nowhere near as good as its two fantastic predecessors, Infinite Rush nevertheless offers a variety of fun, vibrant and expansive playgrounds to explore. The magic seems to be a little lost when you're not just playing Hot Wheels on your bedroom floor, though.
Hot Wheels Infinite Rush is a great game and one that parents can play with their kids and have a blast. It’s good, clean, wholesome racing fun and even if you’re a more seasoned racing game fan, there’s a lot to enjoy here. Milestone S.r.l have been doing this for years at this point and they definitely have a winning arcadey racing formula that they’ve applied here. Give this game a try and you’ll have a lot of fun.
Hot Wheels Infinite Rush is a great addition to the Hot Wheels franchise. Taking this to the open world gives it a great change to the normal system. With all the cars that are recognisable in the game, featuring Bone Shaker, Dragon Blaster and even Duck N’ Roll. Each one looks like it’s come straight out of the blister pack. Hot Wheels Infinite Rush receives the Thumb Culture Gold Award.
Hot Wheels Infinite Rush is a racing game that doesn’t always fully capture the "toy" aspect of the brand. That said, it plays well—just as you would expect from a racing game—and offers enough gameplay and modes to keep you entertained.

Hot Wheels Infinite Rush is an enjoyable open-world racing game. The toy cars are a great fit for such a freeform experience. However, the repetitive gameplay means that Milestone’s game eventually starts to wear thin.

After speeding through colorful islands and driving in several awesome toy cars, I can safely say this is one open-world driving experience I can recommend to all players. Despite a lackluster soundtrack and some minor technical issues with loading times, Hot Wheels Infinite Rush stands out with its unique car class systems, extensive custom track support, and enjoyable islands to race around. It's a playset that looks to its horizons both fondly and eagerly, putting you behind the wheel for a fun time with burning wheels.
Hot Wheels Infinite Rush is an open world racing game. The core racing gameplay is fun if standard, and the worlds you explore have a lot to do. While the game is fun, it's being held back by technical issues and repetitive content. Still, even with the issues I had a lot of fun, and this will definitely hold over any racing game fans looking to pass some time.
Milestone has made a commendable effort with *Hot Wheels Infinite Rush*; however, to truly stand out in a genre with such fierce competition, *Hot Wheels Infinite Rush* would need more original ideas of its own.

Hot Wheels: Infinite Rush is a clear step up from its predecessors, with varied open-world areas, accessible handling and plenty of collectibles, even if hectic music, missing fast travel and frequent loading times hold it back.

Hot Wheels Infinite Rush is a game that fully understands who it’s aiming at and, in part, nails it - a fun arcade racer that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
