Product Description

Mixing miniature mayhem with maximum multiplayer racing, MICRO MACHINES v4 arrives packed with knockabout, breakneck racing in the fastest scale miniatures, complete with explosive weapon power-ups. Letting players loose with hundreds of vehicles, including sport cars, street racers, stock cars, 4x4s, beach buggies, low riders and muscle cars, each with distinctive performance abilities, gamers will be racing their inch-long miniature motors around the MICRO MACHINES house, garden and beyond where everyday household objects appear immense in size and can become lethal hazards. As well as the familiar feel-good environments, MICRO MACHINES v4 sees the racing world expand further than any previous MICRO MACHINES game. Go beyond the house and garden tracks and discover what it's like to race across house roofs, in the sewers, through supermarkets, museums and even down to the farm, with its danger-packed chicken coop! Of course, it wouldn't be MICRO MACHINES without an arsenal of power-ups and weapons to collect and use against your opponents. MICRO MACHINES v4 brings back all the missiles and bombs, but this time with new additions, including flamethrowers, heat-seeking missiles, plasma guns, and of course, the car-mounted giant hammer!

1.0 out of 5 stars Hardly MicroMachine Worthy, May 19, 2009

This review is from: Micro Machines V4 (Video Game)

This game really needed to be designed a lot better. First off the graphics hardly seemed like they where micro machines, just more an aerial view of what could have been any kind of racing game.

The cars themselves look pretty pathetic, and the tracks are hard to tell what is track and what is the floor, you have to do the track a couple of times to memorize it before you can complete it. Which is no fun for what should be easy enough for kids to plow through.

It contains the typical races found in most MM games, the normal race, the annoying, beat your opponent to the top of the screen, then restart the race in which the computer will get an advantage, and whatever the other one is.

Being that the DS is close enough to 64 bit, you would think the graphics in 3D would look better and you would have more ease and control, but the sloppy handling and confusing tracks are both quite boring and difficult to navigate. The SNES version wasnt even half of what the DS can do, but was more fun and graphically better.

If your looking for a racing game for the kids, skip this one, and go for Hot Wheels: Beat That which is 100 times more fun then this one.

Porting Micro Machines to the DS has opened the series to a whole new generation fo gamers.
Few will remember the top-down view of the V1 and V2 games, and so the isometric view of the V3 game is refined in this version, allowing a more natural feel, and the sensation of hills and other route variations to be apparent.
But I did find some of the time challenges quite hard, even at the easy level.
