A time capsule from 2000. Music, CGI, Graphics, Gameplay, UI and UI Sounds SCREAM 2000.
This game is my childhood and it has a very special place in my heart and mind.
The gameplay for this game holds up extremely well, especially for a Hot Wheels game. Still probably one of the best Hot Wheels games ever, to this day.
Velocity X feels the the definitive Hot Wheels game. It had the early concept of an Open World and executed it through 5 satisfying large maps before Open Worlds became a major thing in modern games. It had a story and characters you could get behind. Many cars to unlock and powerups to fuse racing and battling into the same game which felt satisfying.
While a remaster on all modern platforms would be an insta-buy for me. Just seeing a port of it for modern platforms would be incredible.
This was probably one of my favorite Hot Wheels games when I got it for the PC, not just because of the racing but also the vehicular combat and open world exploration elements that I've yet to see in newer Hot Wheels games.
Its like a more family friendly carmageddon with a hotwheels theme and tricks and more focus on racing I had plenty of fun times with this one. it definitely makes my favorite racing games list.
Need for Speed: Underground 2Need For Speed Underground 2 takes place in Bayview after the events of Need for Speed: Underground. The prologue begins with the player driving in a Nissan Skyline R34 in Olympic City (though the racing scenes are actually in Bayview), the setting of NFS:UG. He then receives a race challenge from a rather ominous personality who offers him a spot on his crew, but "won't take 'no' for an answer." The player races off — despite Samantha's warnings — only to be ambushed by a mysterious driver in a rage that totals his Skyline. The driver, who has a unique scythe tattoo, makes a call confirming the accident, and the flashback fades out.Trending Action
Spec Ops: Stealth PatrolThe original Spec Ops for PC was one of the first realistic military tactical combat simulators to be released. After its limited success it spawned many rehashes, pseudo-sequels, and mission packs all bearing the same name. The Playstation's version of the rehash is Spec Ops: Stealth Patrol. Up to two players can simultaneously play through the series of missions the game has to offer. If there's only one player the second ranger is controlled by the CPU. The single player can switch between both rangers at any time, letting the CPU control the other ranger.
Join one of the most elite military task forces in the world--the U.S. Army Rangers. Play as a U.S. Special Operations Ranger Corps soldier in this third-person shooter.

Take out terrorists, rescue hostages and save the free world...that's all this game is asking of you. Will you be able to complete your mission, even though you may be the lone survivor?Action Warfare
