This has to be one of the weirdest racing games I have ever played. Hot wheels worlds best driver is one of two hot wheels games on the console. This effort, puts you in charge of one of 4 teams as you attempt to complete a variety of interesting racing related missions. There is a green team which focuses on speed. You will take part in drag races and other speed related activities. There is a yellow team with destruction related tasks and a blue team with trick related tasks, each team having its own feel and style of driving. It's a nice idea. I respect the originality and the attempt to do something a bit different and fun. Some of the missions were quite fun. I enjoyed picking up coins in the hill climb of the destruction derby yellow team and found some fun in the challenge of attempting to complete difficult tricks. The colourful presentation is pretty ugly but nice in a childlike way and the short nature of the tasks makes it quite suitable for kids. Sounds good then? Well no. The biggest issue with Hotwheels is the unbearable control issue. Bad controls are pretty killer, especially in a racing game. But a game like hot wheels, in which some tasks require very precise controlling, this basically ruins the game. Worth checking out for it's uniqueness, but don't blame me if you want to throw it out the window.
