Hot Wheels Unleashed'south Batman expansion adds a Batcave

Holy DLC, Batman!

A side result of fatherhood is that I now see everything through my 5-year-old's eyes. Hot Wheels Unleashed is, to me, nigh likely a middling racing game and lesser Trackmania - simply then, if I think about information technology, I know my kid would honey it.

Hot Wheels Unleashed's Batman expansion, featuring a scattering of cars and a Batcave? To me, meaningless licensed tie-in. Only my kid... My kid must never know this exists.

The Batman expansion features a Batcave environment to race effectually and build your own tracks inside, equally well as five vehicles based on characters from Batman. That includes a Joker car, Penguin machine, Robin car, and a Batman Rebirth and Armored Batman automobile. There are also a bunch of decorative pieces for employ in your Basement, function of your customisable in-game HQ.

Which all sounds nice plenty. There's a drawer in my business firm filled with real Hot Wheels cars, and I'g not above having favourites among these little pieces of plastic. I absolutely see the appeal in buying more cars, and themed cars, in-game.

Simply the reason my kid will never know this game exists is that the bones packet costs £twoscore/$l and the Batman DLC costs a further £12/$15 on acme. There are a bunch of other paid car packs available on Steam, as well. The prices seem steep to me when the whole success of the real Hot Wheels cars is predicated on being able to buy 1 for £1.50 in Tesco when you need to distract your kid long plenty to load up the trolley.
