Micro Machines
Review by Luis
"A decent and fun racing game."
As the name says you race using Micro Machines.There are a variety of characters to choose from.They all have their own special attributes.For example one of the riders is great at the sprts car racing while another is better at the 4x4 races.This game uses common sense,you know how you're using little toys (micro machines) to race?Well the enviroment you're racing in fits your size.Take the first level for example instead of racing on some dirt road, you're racing on top of the kitchen table.Since you're on top of the kitchen table there are obstacles like cereal and spilled milk.There isn't any music when you're racing but that doesn't really matter,because you're focused on the race.Of course there is a downside to this game.That downside is what everyone hates;it's the fall off the table (or course) wait about six seconds then race again.During that six seconds the computer players get ahead of you really fast.If you're good that won't happen often,but don't worry you won't care after about three races.This game supports the game link cable so you can race up to four of your friends at once.There are also some bonus levels here and there.In them you get to race a monster truck.These levels can be hard.There is one where you have to avoid little swamp holes while doing that you have to beat the clock or else you don't get points.If you beat the game with a person you can beat it again with another,so that adds alot of replayability.The controls are tight and responsive on all of the vechicles.The visuals are ok I think by todays standards.There really is no story;you just start off racing.Oh and of course you do get chances in the races.If you lose you use up of your chances.If you like racing I recommend this game.If you don't it's still fun.I think my money was put to good use buying this game.Thats it for this review.
