What Parents Need to Know

About Hot Wheels World Race

Parents need to know that this game is appropriate for kids of all ages. Commercialism is the only negative, as all cars are authentic Hot Wheels cars and are for sale in toy stores from coast to coast. There is no violence, as cars are next to impossible to flip or turn and are in the same shape after crash as they are when you start the game.
