What bothers me about this pass specifically is that there are both 'free' and 'premium' tiers, meaning that unless you shell out more money for the pass, you won't have the opportunity to unlock everything from it. Essentially, play the game, get XP just for playing and get some bonus XP for doing specific challenges, and earn some unique rewards. What really bothers me is the inclusion of the 'Racing Season Passes', which is essentially a version of the battle passes that you often see in free-to-play games.

The most polite thing I can say about the expansions is that most of the content is fine, but I don't think you'd get your $30 out of them, and there are apparently plans to make even more passes. In addition to this, there are numerous DLC cars that aren't included in the passes. Since the game launched about 10 months ago (as of the time of this review), there's been THREE separate expansion passes, each of which costs a whopping $30 and adds a handful of tracks, new cars, and some extra items for the track editor. So why am I giving this game a negative review? It's because of the extremely gated way the game locks content behind progression walls, and how it is constantly shoving DLC in your face. There are a surprising number of licensed properties in this game, and you'll inevitably find yourself occasionally saying 'they licensed THAT car for this game? Cool!'.

I also appreciate the ability to give every car the ability to upgrade the stats to the same tier as some of the rarer cars, if for no other reason than because you'll inevitably find some cool car that you want to use all the time.

There's a bit of a learning curve to understand how the drifting and boosting work, because this is a game where you NEED to understand your car's momentum, how to approach turns so you don't slam into the walls, and once you understand how this works, it feels extremely satisfying to hug the curves and power through the track. The actual mechanics and handling of the cars? They're actually pretty well-done. Hot Wheels Unleashed has some surprisingly solid racing mechanics behind it, but the game's intent to shove in mostly superfluous content nonstop makes this an incredibly frustrating experience to play.
