Hot Wheels: Infinite Rush shifts series to open-world racing
Hot Wheels: Infinite Rush, developed by Milestone, marks a significant shift for the series by moving from linear tracks to an open-world format. The game features four distinct themed islands: the urban environment of Wheelswood, the coastal Tentacle Bay, the desert canyons of Gearville, and the Japan-inspired Drifty Temples.
Reviewers highlight the game's ability to capture the charm of playing with toy cars, noting that the scale of the environments and the high-quality vehicle models effectively evoke a “toybox” feeling. The gameplay includes various activities such as racing, collecting gears, performing stunts, and battling island “Rush Masters.”
While the visual presentation and engine audio receive praise, some critics noted drawbacks, including long loading times, repetitive music, and a perceived lack of depth in the open-world design compared to titles like Forza Horizon. Some reviewers also observed that the transition to an open world occasionally sacrifices the unique sense of scale found in previous entries.
