Yet while handsomely modeled toy cars and cute environments might look like a basis for newbie-friendly racing, it's not the case here. To be fair, that specific concept isn't necessarily common in gaming, but Codemasters' legendary Micro Machines series holds a lot of water for a certain type of arcade-racing fan. This week's Hot Wheels Unleashed is one of the best video games ever made using licensed toy cars.

To conclude things, Pass Vol 2 also adds in the Outer Space, Skaters and Haunted customisation packs, with additional Track Builder Modules coming in the form of the Booster Slam, Gorilla Garage and Shark Jaws.

There there’s the Monster Trucks Expansion too – an additional environment, five new cars, a customisation pack and Track Builder module are all included there. There are the nine new vehicles for one, with these covering TMNT Michelangelo, AcceleRacers Power Rage, Street Fighter Chun-Li, Street Fighter Vega, Corvette Stingray Convertible 2014, McLaren Senna, Street Fighter Ryu, TMNT Raphael and AcceleRacers Hollowback. Priced at £24.99, the Hot Wheels Pass Vol 2 is certainly not cheap, but it does include a fair old bit of content.
