When a criminal gang of street-racing villains steals Professor Justice's secret Velocity X fuel formula, his son Max must put his driving skills and mean street machines to the ultimate test.

Hot Wheels: Velocity X is a game based on Mattel's Hot Wheels line of miniature racing vehicles. In the game, the player has to drive one of over 30 Hot Wheels cars in races on 3D curvilinear tracks, which include banded loops or crazy stunt launchers. During the races, weapon attacks and power-ups are available. The racing is mission-based with 14 missions to complete in the game's main Adventure Mode.
