Product Description

Product Description

What's a racing game without vehicles? It's Micro Maniacs, of course. From the makers of the popular Micro Machines series comes this top-down racer where eight tiny mutants--scaled down to 1/360 of normal size--footrace though 32 unique tracks set in various indoor and outdoor locales. To win, you must attack, outrun, and push your competitors, while avoiding such perils as giant dust bunnies and razor-sharp blades of grass. Play as one of the eight main characters or find one of the four bonus characters hidden inside.

The game features three play modes: challenge, time trial, and multiplayer, where up to eight, with a separately sold multitap accessory and extra controllers, can join in the fun. Any game that pits up to eight simultaneous contestants against each other without the hassle of split-screening is a party in a box. Micro Maniacs does so, but, with such attacks as plasma punch and fireball fart at one's disposal, it's more like a riot in a box.

This review is from: Playstation Micor Maniacs Racing (Video Game)

Micro Maniacs Racing was the first game I got for my PS1 about 3 years ago. I decided to try Time Trial first because I was sure I would absolutely reek at the game. The game's controls are frustrating at first, but you grow to like them. First timers might think this game is stupid because of the controls and how much they stink. I know this because my friends all said that. After you get the controls down, you realize this is a great game. It is kinda hard to win the Championship or whatever the heck it's called, but racing against 4 of your friends in the Time Trial mode is fun. My favorite character is Beatbox, because he's a beatbox. I like beatboxes. I was surprised to see that Mesme, the little alien was a girl, because she sorta looks like a boy. When you set the game to Maniac level, geez those guys go fast. But, why the heck can you not take shortcuts without you getting blobitized(whatever that means) and having to start somewhere else again. Sharp turns are hard to do especially when you're trying to go really fast. This game is hard and not for little kids because of the hard controls, but overall I like it. The graphics look just fine on a Playstation 1 standard and the sound and music are pretty good. It's one of the games I like to play without the radio blocking out the sound. The attacks are hilarious and aren't too hard to do. It doesn't have very bad controls when it comes to attacking, but moving your little maniac can be very frustrating. So, I'd recommend this game to anyone who doesn't care about bad controls.

This review is from: Playstation Micor Maniacs Racing (Video Game)

We all are probably familar to micro machines.You drive a car thru places like kitchens and bathrooms.Well Micro Maniacs is for walking.Don't think it's boring.You get these cool special attacks you can use.You pick power ups on the ground and collect them.You can train your player in 1 player mode too.Who thought a racing game could be like an RPG.You could turn Twisters Yo-Yo into the chainsaw yo-yo(My cuz hates for using this).The graphics are beautiful.You could use the background for advantage.The music is very good.This one level sounds like Butterfly from DDR.Go buy it it's only 10 dollars.

This is an awesome game. You can choose from a variety of little freaks with powers ranging from sending little ghosts which reverse a racers controls to fireball farts wwhich evaporate a racer. This adds an element of excitement to the game but the best thing is the course. You have to hop over knives, ride bees over a garden, run through croquet hoops and even run over a man having a bypass operation. The graphics are fabulous and it offers up to 8 player play. The only problem is the controls are a bit slippery and your characters slide around a bit. But all in all it is a fabulous game!
