Racing

Overview

Hot Wheels Ultimate Racing is a 2007 racing video game developed by Italian company Raylight Studios and published by DSI Games for the PlayStation Portable (PSP) exclusively. The game is based on the Hot Wheels toy line which manufactured by Mattel.

Hot Wheels Ultimate Racing features 26 vehicles based on Hot Wheels toy cars. The game features 11 courses, each one resembling real Hot Wheels toy racetracks. The courses are divided across four areas: Death Valley, Jungle, Metropolis, and Volcano. Each level features a major trap or enemy that must be avoided, such as giant boulders, a giant scorpion, and a giant octopus. The player can use turbo boosts to speed up in races, and slow-motion to safely drift around corners; both abilities are depleted as they are used, and can be refilled by landing specific giant jumps or by avoiding the traps and enemies in each level.

Hot Wheels Ultimate Racing was released in North America on June 29, 2007. The game was subsequently released in Europe on August 24, and in Australia on September 27.

On review aggregator Metacritic, Hot Wheels Ultimate Racing has a score of 60, indicating "mixed or average reviews".
