Product Description

Micro Machines V4 mixes racing mayhem with multiplayer racing, with miniature autos! The knockabout, breakneck racing you want is right here, in the fastest scale miniatures -- and complete with explosive weapon power-ups. Race your inch-long miniature motors on the wildest tracks, where everyday household objects appear immense in size and can become lethal hazards. Let loose with sport cars, street racers, stock cars, 4x4s, beach buggies, lowriders and muscle cars -- just some of the hundreds of vehicles you can race on improvised tracks around the Micro Machines house, garden and - for the first time - beyond!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best games I own, April 15, 2007

I bought this hoping for a racing game to play with my family and I have been overwhelmed by its entertainment. We started playing this game when my son was 5 years old and my daughter was 6 years old, and it didn't take very long for them to pick up and understand the controls. In order for the kids to practice the races and to get new cars quickly, they just played the MicroTournaments on "easy mode" - each race you win gets you 3 cars, and when you complete a race section you get 15! The kids love the funny attachments you can get for the cars during the races to shoot peas, drop pumpkin bombs, and even to have an oversized hammer on your car to try to pound any cars in front. All in all, this is one of the best games we own for the family to play together!

Micro Machines V4 is a fun and user friendly game. In this fun game you can collect cars and cool tracks. You collect points to unlock new and exciting tracks such as a chicken coop, the kitchen, and a sewer. This game is worth buying and is great to play.

This one doesn't race like many race games.... It is hard to describe. You know how you can race some games, and they "feel" very realistic? they "handle" like a real car handles? Well these cars handle like the toys that they are! They turn on a dime, and you are racing from a birds-eye view. (Up and a little behind.)
It is different having the race proceed in stages... You'll have to play to understand. I get why... It is a way of keeping multiple racers on screen, without taking away a winning edge. It is just different.
I would like to see this game from a more traditional perspective... Have the cars handle more realistically, be raced from more traditional views, but still have them be outrageously designed and racing in scale environment. That is, instead of a REAL-sized you racing WITH toys, to be a TOY-sized you racing IN the toys.
Overall, though, it is a pretty good game.
