What's with the weird not-Hives ripoff music? Sounds exactly like Main Offender at parts.

I wonder -- with online leaderboards on the PC always being hacked (apparently with great ease), how is it working out on the console side? Are leaderboards just something inherently broken these days? In that case, why bother?

Cue green flash on screen.

Vinny: "What is that"

Jeff: "What is anything? What am I?"

Jeff just went existential there.

@leebmx: It's Mr. Rich Gallup, formerly of GameSpot.com fame. He hosted the Hotspot, On the Spot, and a variety of other shows, such as Button Mashing, from which that photo was taken.

Oh that's who it is. Didn't recognise him in the Santa hat and glasses. Thanks.

Never thought I'd see a Hot Wheels game. My inner kid is screaming with joy.

Whoa, they've had tons of them. You should play Hot Wheels Turbo Racing, it's a legitimately good game.

Hot Wheels: Turbo Racing on PSX was awesome. What have they done with the license?

I played that game to DEATH. I bet it's probably not so awesome from a perspective that isn't an 8 year old kid, but fond memories that immediately came flooding back when I saw this.

Um, okay. I suppose that's subjective. I'd consider 16 Hot Wheels games to be quiiiiite a few, considering even one Hot Wheels game sounds like too many to me.

@jjweatherman: Ha I suppose that's true. I was expecting 25+ when I read your comment. But yeah, maybe hot wheels games just shouldn't be made, if they are anything like this.

I haven't heard a voiceover that passive-aggressive since "RIDER MEET HORSE".

Oh god, why did you have to mention that? I had managed to supress memories of "MotionSports" for what I thought would be the rest of my life...

EDIT: The Yellow Team support voice vaguely reminds me of host Sparky Whitmore from the most recent Kinect 'Family Feud.'

Oh wow. This Quick Look was better than it had any right to be.

There needs to be a Giant Bomb entry for that folksy narrator. I want him for all tutorials.

That was totally a German accent, not Swedish.

I am agog at this piece of work. It looks and sounds like it was made at a gamejam. The voiceover guy is an incredible stickler about clean racing for a hotwheels game for kids. Germans, man.

Also, this was once again a fine example of dat great british accent Jeff pulls around 23:55. Reminded me of few other Quick Looks and Ryan. I wish they'd one day do a whole QL while talking like that...

This game looks like it was made by an artificial intelligence programmed to make racing games, but it has not yet learned what the meaning of "fun" is.
