Advice for consumers
This game has received a PEGI 3. Suitable for all ages.
Brief outline of the game
Racing game with a strong focus on user-generated content and collecting. Players compete in car races on the traditional Hot Wheels orange track pieces and can also create and share their own tracks and vehicle customisations.
Content specific issues
Cars can bump into each other or be destroyed during elimination races. However, the toy cars are always clearly empty with no humans inside. There are 'boss races' in which players must destroy targets that represent the boss' lives. The boss, however, is simply a large animatronic toy which fizzles with electricity when defeated.
Other issues
This game offers players the opportunity to purchase in-game items, in the form of DLC, which some parents or carers may want to be aware of. Parents, carers or other responsible adults should check to see what is being offered before making any purchase on behalf of a child.
