Free Hot Wheel Games Online
The term die-cast toys refers to any toy or collection model produced with the die casting method. They are usually made of metal and plastic, and the most common toys of these type are the scale models of cars, planes, trains and almost any vehicle. They can be made in different scales, the smaller have a 1:87 scale and the bigger a scale of 1:12. One of the most famous companies that is making die-cast cars is Mattel, with the famous "Hot wheels" vehicles. The first car toys of this type were made back in the 1968, and since then the company developed a lot. Today kids from all over the world are dreaming to have some "Hot wheels" toys, and most of them can accomplish their dream because of the many countries where the company's products are sold.

On the official site of the company http://www.hotwheels.com/ you will be able to find all of its products, and also to have some fun by playing some free online games. These are flash games, that means they have a simple graphic with simple controls and shorter period of game-play time. There are thousands of free online games all over the internet but today we'll be presenting some of the games offered by Hot Wheels. Because the company has often collaborated with McDonald's, and kids were able to find Hot Wheels toys in the Happy Meals, one of the game is called "McDonald's Pit Race off". As you can notice from the picture, in this game you will drive a cool Formula 1 car. You get to choose one out of the two tracks. You will drive the car using the arrow keys, but when it's necessary to go to the pit stop, you will have to click on the tires to change them. The fuel will be changed automatically. Unfortunately you can't change your car, but the car given is pretty cool. It's all red, with some McDonald's logo-s on it. The graphic of the game is very simple, but it can be fun to drive the car on the track. Be careful at the green drop (which is the fuel level), because it will be over pretty soon. Also watch when your tires are used, that means you will have to go to the pit stop. When being at the pit stop, try to move as fast as possible, and get back in the race.

The next racing game from the site is the "Color shifters". This one is a little more complex than the one before. You can control the car using the arrow keys, and also press the space bar for boost. You can also collect items such as boost, repair or points. Be careful to avoid damage, because you will lose health. In this game you have many vehicles to choose from, but first you will have to unlock them. So for the beginning you will have to be pleased with what you have: the Circle Tracker. The graphic for this game is also pretty simple, but the tracks are much more interesting and fun than in the Formula 1 racing game. Enjoy!

Next we'll be playing the game called "Terrain tourney". Race using the arrow keys on different kinds of terrains, but be careful for the obstacles that can slow you down. On the off road terrain there will be rocks or cactuses, on water rocks or buoys and on the streets there can be holes or poles. You can also collect items for more speed, repair damage or more points. You can choose out of four different vehicles, one for each type of terrain (off road, water and street). Don't forget that all the cars from the games, are actually real products of Hot Wheels. So if you spot one that you like, you can go at the store and buy it. Be very careful when you first play this game, because the controls are not like in any racing game. Here the right arrow key is used for acceleration, the left for braking, and the up and down arrows are used to steer the vehicle left or right. But this won't be a problem after you get used with them. You will first drive off road, and after that you will move straight to water, without any pause. After driving on water you will get on the streets, and only after that the race is over.

Another Hot Wheels free online game is the "3 D Horsepower hazard". The controls for this game are the normal ones, and you will also have to pick different items for health, speed or points. You will get to choose between three hard core vehicles and race 3 laps on 3 different tracks, each one with unique layouts and surfaces. The vehicles are for any tastes, and you can choose between a car, a motor bike and a ATV. The graphic of this game is pretty cool, with a nice game feeling. After trying all the 3 vehicles you can move on to the next game.
We'll be choosing the "Rebellion Race". The controls are the same as in any classic racing game, and there are bonuses for speed, handling and power. In this game you will be seeing your car from above, so it can be pretty difficult to spot the obstacles or bonuses in front of you. And when you spot them you'll have to react really fast and get them (or avoid them in the case of obstacles). But after all it can be really fun to play.

Another fun game from the site is the "Double shotz triple challenge". In this game there are also three events combined. You can choose between a speed race, a rocket and a jumping race. In the speed racing game you will have to speed up and keep it going and also use your double shot key when the needle hits the red, for maximum boost. In the rocket event you have to go as high as possible. Use the power key to launch the rocket high, and the double shot key to boost even higher. And in the last event you will have to jump as far as possible. The game has an unique graphic with some cool events that you won't find in other car games. Have fun!

We'll be talking about one more game from Hot Wheels, which is the "Ferrari X-V speed trial". In this game you will have to drive a pretty cool, red Ferrari, on a nice mountain track. The graphic is pretty detailed for a flash game, and you even have the dashboard of the car (which includes the speedometer, the track, the number of laps left and also the Ferrari logo). You can drive the car with the arrow keys, use the space bar to activate the hand brake, and press the C key to change cameras.
