Hot Wheels: AcceleRacers is a computer-animated series of four films produced by Canadian company Mainframe Entertainment, which also produced the television series ReBoot.Available on DVD and VHS, it has also been shown on Cartoon Network. A sequel to the 2003 miniseries Hot Wheels: World Race, the series takes place two years after the World Race in California and puts Mattel's Hot Wheels. Hot Wheels: World Race is a 2003 computer-animated direct-to-video film based on the Hot Wheels television series Hot Wheels: Highway 35 – World Race that.
Like Lego before it, the 35-year-old Hot Wheels franchise has had to adapt to changes in the toy market and 'go digital' in recent times, unashamedly rebranding the classic Micro Machines as its own for an opening assault on the PC market.

Carefully avoiding cliches about this latest offering being another kids' game (a common excuse for plain crap games), we were actually thrilled to see Climax (yes, the same Climax behind the solid MotoGP) offering support for DX9 special effects. At last, something to get that GeForceFX sweating.

And what a celebration of colour and light this is. Incandescent reds, greens and blues emanate from the screen, lending a Wipeout/F-Zero-like feel to the 15-plus futuristic courses. Hurrah! Let's all group-hug DX9 and its pixel-trickery, and banish for ever those turd nlike browns and greens we've suffered for so many years.
Admittedly, the game is aimed at a young audience, and as such, it's all too easy to win. The catch-up system favours the stragglers at the back, so it definitely won't appeal to Grand Prix 4 buffs who pore over postrace aerodynamics data.Simply pick up rings to fill the nitro boost meter, then use the turbo to make impossible stunt jumps through space. The tracks offer bags of fun, with loop-the-loops, head-spinning inverted sections and plentiful short cuts.
If you were part of the original Hot Wheels toy revolution, you'll enjoy playing with 15 cars from the authentic Highway 35 anniversary collection. It may be easy, but it's good clean fun too.
