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.

This game is one of the funnest multi-player games I have ever played. I have played several different multiplayer game and this one so far takes the cake. When ever my brother comes over, we play a few rounds and always get a kick out of it. We try to run the computers off the road and then outrun eachother for the win, while picking up different weapons and trying to make the other person crash along the way. This game is great for all ages and the best thing about it is that you can play with up to 4 player all on one screen. meaning not 4 separate windows on the TV. This game is a blast, Highly recommended!

This game is the best ever if you want fun rented this game a few months ago didnt think it would be much fun. but seriously the best game ive ever played. there are 750 cars and 25 tracks. its 4 player too. you have to get this.

it is a great game.. at first it was a bit boring then when i started playing more of it i luved it!.. its fun and energetic and it gets u goin! i play it like most of the time.. so i recommend it to any1 who likes video games!

I happily purchased this so I could finally retire the PSX controllers I have kept around for years just so we could continue to play Micro Machines V3 on the PS2. V4 is a great multiplayer game and I would say, more suited for older children or adults. V3 actually allowed 8 players, which was a ton of fun, but 4 players keeps it plenty lively. The maps on V4 are clever and fairly easy to learn, but not terribly different from V3. Overall, it seems that V4 is a worthy port for PS2 with slightly improved graphics & similar gameplay.

Have played every version of Micro Machines and I think it just keeps getting better and better. If you like racing games this if for you. Also kid friendly.

I bought this game a week ago for my 6 year old son. It looked like it was fun and easy to play. The graphics are good and there are alot of cools cars and tracks to unlock however you have to constantly win races to unlock them which gets to be VERY difficult. The controls (steering, gas, etc) are very sensitive and my son gave up trying to play this game after only 30 minutes and was ready to trade it. I played the game alittle and got through a few levels but I also got stuck and spend alot of time crashing.
I've played alot of racing games in the past but this game was a big dissapointment and I felt that this game was a waste of money. If you're still thinking of buying this game, rent it first or buy another game instead. It's too hard for kids.
