Hot Wheels: Beat That! is a racing video game released in September 2007 and based on the Hot Wheels toy line manufactured by Mattel. The game was developed by Eutechnyx and published by Activision. It was released for Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 2, Nintendo DS, and Nintendo Wii. It features 16 unique levels, four fully modelled zones, 30 authentically modelled, fully playable vehicles, two-player split-screen, competitive power-ups, and vehicular combat. Contrary to most Hot Wheels games, Hot Wheels: Beat That! shrinks the player down to the size of the iconic toy cars, rather than transforming the cars to 1:1 scale.

Game Modes[]

Hot Wheels: Beat That! has six unique game modes.

Quick Race[]

Standard three lap race. The multiplayer version allows players to customize the amount of laps and racers.

Eliminator[]

Game mode in which the last place car is disqualified every 30 seconds. Last car standing is the winner. The multiplayer version allows players to customize the amount of racers.

Rampage (single player only)[]

Game mode in which you need to destroy a set amount of cars to win.

Tournament[]

A series of four three-lap races taking place on all of the tracks in a given environment. Each race awards a set amount of points, the driver with the most amount of points at the end of the tournament is the winner.

Position Point(s)
1st +12
2nd +10
3rd +8
4th +6
5th +4
6th +2
7th +1
8th +0

Stock Battle (multiplayer only)[]

Game mode in which two players fight each other in the arena, where they must attack another player until they reach the specified point target first to win.

Time Battle (multiplayer only)[]

Game mode in which it plays similar to stock battle, only difference is they will have a limited amount of time to score as many points as possible. Whoever has more points than the other after time runs out wins. If both players end with the same amount of points after time runs out, a sudden death match will occur in which whoever scores the next point is declared the winner.
