He has gathered 35 people together and broken them up into five different teams. In the show, a genius by the name of Peter Tezla has discovered a series of tracks created by an ancient race of people known as the Accelerons. Most of the story from the series has been passed into Hot Wheels: World Race the game. This detracted some from the experience, but it was only a minor problem. It seems like no matter which car you are in, the engine sounds the same. One failing in the sound department is the engine noises. This game also features the song 'Hot' by Smashmouth. The music in World Race is high powered and is great ear candy while you weave around other cars and shoot up ramps and walls. Even though the in-game graphics aren't cel-shaded, the cut-scenes come straight out of the movie allowing a person who hasn't seen the show to get a taste of what it is about. The vehicles look just like they do in the show and the complex tracks don't give you that odd deja-vu feeling. Though this game doesn't sport the same cel-shaded graphics of the cartoon (for some reason), what's here is done very well and far exceeds what I have seen in most Hot Wheels games. Though the story of the game is slightly different than the series, most of the concepts are still there and Hot Wheels: World Race comes off as a good, solid racing game. Now that all five episodes are out, THQ has released the game. Hot Wheels recently released a five episode cel-shaded cartoon called World Race.
