I remember when I was younger a lot of boys my age back then would play with Hot wheels.It was the hottest toy in it's time and it's still popular today.Then every popular franchise gets it's own game.This started with Hot Wheels for the C64 in 1985.Now the Hot wheels game's are known for being pretty high quality even for a kids game.So I'll be reviewing the first game that came to home consoles.That game is Hot Wheels Turbo Racing for the N64.The game is also for the PlayStation which I think is the better version which I will talk into later.Now this game focuses on doing aerial tricks to earn boost to win the race.Sounds simple right?Well it is,but that's what makes it such a fun pick up and play game,But now enough talking On to the Review!

Graphics:The graphics look good for it's time.Cars look more detailed and there's less pop-up unlike another version I know. {7}

Sound:The music in this game is pretty catchy,but it's too bad the engine and car noises over shadows the music since it's more louder.Oh well that's what the sound options are for. {8}

Addictiveness:The tracks are very well designed and some even have some special design like for example in Helicrash.Not only that ,but the mutiplayer is tons of fun.This is a game you'll keep coming back to. {9}

Story:Nope,Nothing here. {  }

Depth:This is when I'll start bashing the game.It has one problem........It's too SHORT!The game only has 8 tracks in all,but It has a good number of cars spanning to about 40  actual Hot Wheels.Also It has Exhibition Race (Quick Race),Airtime challenge (Get the most points),Hot Wheels Cup (Do  tournament note:There are only 3 of these in the game),Practice(Do whatever you want),Practice Airtime (Same thing as Practice).While it is a nice selection all you need to do to beat the game is the Hot Wheels Cup everything is pretty much extra which mean if you're pretty good you can beat the whole game in like 2-4 hours. {4}

Difficulty:I got to say for a kids game this can get pretty hard at times.I mean the Twin mill Challenge was hard even on Easy and also I forgot to mention the way you adjust the difficulty is a sliding bar.So for example crank it to the red for Expert and crank to the yellow for Easy or just put it in the middle like me for Medium. {7}

Emulation Problems:Welcome to the new section called Emulation problems.Here I will talk about problems that happen in the Vizzed emulator.There is only one problem and that is once you start a race and it ends The main menu gets all messed up not like it makes it impossible to see I thought I'd mention it.

Version differences:Another new section so if a game has multiple versions I will go through the differences.Note:Both only support 2-Player.
N64harper graphics,Less Fog and Pop-up,Voice clips,Short songs and missing one of them.
PS : Pixels can be seen in graphics,3 extra Tracks,Full length Songs,More fog and Pop-up.

Overall:Hot Wheels Turbo Racing was a pretty good game for the time and it still is.With it's good track design,Graphics soung and control I say I would recomend it.If you're a fan of Hot wheels or a big racing fan I would you should try it.

OVERALL:8 Out Of 10
