Hot Wheels: Beat That!

Более сорока лет назад всемирно известная компания Mattel выпустила новую серию игрушек под названием Hot Wheels. Маленькие автомобили на батарейках копировали популярные в те времена модели и отличались особой приметой — красной каймой, обрамляющей подвеску и колеса.

С тех пор каждый год серия Hot Wheels пополняется новыми экземплярами, которые пользуются популярностью не только у детей, но и у серьезных взрослых коллекционеров. А теперь радиоуправляемые машинки выходят на невиданные трассы, чтобы сразиться друг с другом в невероятном виртуальном ралли.

• Извилистые треки и крутые виражи — в самых неожиданных декорациях, в том числе прямо в поезде и дома в спальне, на дорожке для боулинга и поле для мини-гольфа!
• Тридцать настоящих машинок-игрушек, представленных в популярной серии Hot Wheels.
• Зрелищные столкновения и трюки, лихие объезды и большие скорости маленьких автомобилей — на трех уровнях сложности: турбо, нитро и инферно.
• Фантастические сетевые соревнования.
