In
Hot Wheels: Battle Force 5, players pilot heavily armed, tricked-out combat vehicles, through missions to save the planet Earth from alien intruders in another dimension. Released alongside the computer-animated television
adventure series, the game features racing and battle sequences that pit the heroic
Battle Force 5 team against its recurring enemies, the robotic Sark and the beast-like Vandals. The game features all of the show's main heroes as playable characters, including
Vert Wheeler, in his "Saber" race car,
Agura Ibaden in her "Tangler" ATV,
Stanford Isaac Rhodes IV in his "Reverb" sports car,
Zoom Takazumi in the "Chopper" motorcycle, and brothers
Spinner and
Sherman Cortez, who operate the high-velocity "Buster" tank. Players race and crash into opponents, in order to find the keys to Battle Zones, and then transform their vehicles for head-to-head combat. Races and battles play out in areas and locations featured in the syndicated television series. The
Wii version of the game features competitive and co-operative multiplayer modes, with split-screen racing for two players and tournament-style battles for up to four.
