And here’s what other sites had to say about this new open-world take on the series:
Vooks – 3.5/5: “Hot Wheels Infinite Rush is a fast-paced arcade-style racer that makes the most of the Hot Wheels brand. It looks good and runs well, and its racing is easy for both younger and older players to pick up. There are plenty of hours of racing, challenges and collectibles to keep you busy, if you don’t mind some minor issues here and there that may become frustrating over time.”
COGConnected – 65/100: “Ultimately, Hot Wheels Infinite Rush delivers a basic but enjoyable experience. It’s full of colorful cars, accessible racing, and a world that requires no thought to explore.The problem is that the move to an open world makes Infinite Rush’s shortcomings more obvious. There isn’t quite enough to do across those larger environments, and the drifting system lacks the precision that would make the racing itself more rewarding.”
Cubed3 – 7/10: “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.”
Hardcore Gamer – 4.5/5: “Hot Wheels Infinite Rush is a fantastic experience that manages to draw the magic of Hot Wheels in an open world video game. The end result is compelling and offers many hours of fun, whether it’s racing, destroying things or simply exploring the islands. It’s a veritable playground that knows exactly what it should offer and excels on all fronts.”
