Needs to be said because it is an improvement

[Mikado the Glaceon]

People who think this game is a scam or the features should've been added in the first Unleashed really can't see the big picture. This game IS an improvement over the first, and here's many reasons why:

-No Racing Seasons, which means no limited time events this time around
-Blind Boxes don't exist anymore, and the Hot Wheels Spin doesn't always give you a car
-The DLC content you'll get is much more better than the first game's DLC
-You have many different game modes to choose from rather than just Quick Race
-You can push other cars off the track and jump over stuff
-The game is faster paced, which means you'll need to focus more
-You can put on modifiers for your cars, making them perform the way you want to
-The base game offers a lot more content, making it more fitting for it to be $50

Still, wait for a sale on this game, and do your research before making the purchase. It is a massive improvement over the first... you guys either just don't see it yet, are too mean to this developer, or are just terrible at the game.

If you haters are just gonna keep on going about it, then all you're doing is making yourself look like a bad influence. Facts. Grow up.

I respect your view, but let me counter it with one.
Milestone is a live service team. Have a look at their games and you will see the same game copied time and time again but every new one has maybe one or two improvements - I can see the jumping and upgrading look like a definite improvement.
Here's the kicker though - they are charging the same price for this game, and you have to purchase all of the cars you had in the first one all over again. As many players posted feedback during the first game's launch regarding bug fixes, opinions on making it better, giving us something to do in the basements, adding liveries and possible trading, FIXING the multiplayer lobbies - not ONCE did any member from Milestone EVER respond to ANY of the community.
Just Announcents and new packs out now! That was it, that was all. No one ever NOT ONCE suggested the racing aspect of the game change other than the balance for the cars themselves. (who races Snoopy against the fastest cars etc.)
So while optimism fell hard early on, and those pre-order FOMO only cars eventually came along with micro transactions, seasons passes were scrapped simply because no one bought into them, and tracks were cool but left racers wanting more.

GOTY comes along and guess what? Every car pack, track piece, all nicely packed up into one cheap cost and EVEN landed on GAMEPASS for subscribers to play for free.
So now..think about what they are doing with turbo - I see BTTF and KITT and the TURTLE Van but hey guess what, I already have em - why can't I transfer at least SOME of my vehicles over or maybe just MAYBE a sequel with the same cars should oh IDK be connected in SOME WAY after all, it's not 'look at our brand new game because we now took away all the thing you spent the year working towards and now give you...what, three environments and a gamba roll the dice instead of high cost loot boxes for back to back garbage trucks?

If you want to have fun with the game, that's totally great and I actually admire you for trying to see the bright side of Milestone. But they have a history of these tactics and will continue to do the same thing they've been doing for a decade. Make you pay multiple times for the same thing without and with features.

Try and be careful out there in this live service meta we all play in now.

Yes you are paying the same thing for the same price but your not exactly suppose to just own one type of everything your suppose to own millions of the exact duplicate.

Because you brought the hotwheel car from one game isn't suppose to transision to the next game.

Say you brought Monopoly that comes with tokens you use to move around the board, but you brought a second Monopoly, it comes with the same tokens,

The Tokens don't change even if you brought the same Monopoly game.

Your right board games do come with the same pieces, its not like every board is unique, so then hotwheels very well could be like that, not just toys but video games.
