There’s other little quirks and oddities that annoyed me, such as how repetitive the little lines of dialogue are from your chosen car, the way you have to always back out to the main menu after a race or battle, and so on.A gaming legend returns as Codemasters announces Micro Machines World SeriesĬodemasters & Koch Media today announced that legendary gaming franchise, Micro Machines, will be racing its way on to PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One and Windows PC on 21st April 2017.

Some races are better than others, but we hope this can be swiftly dealt with. Other racers judder and bounce around, weapons are inconsistent, as already mentioned, and worst of all, your own frame rate can drop, reducing the consistency and feel that you need to be confident as you take corners, jumps and race. Local play does manage to be a blessed haven from the prevalence of lag online, though. That said, there’s some nice touches like a particularly long and close race eventually having the camera zoom ever closer and closer, or how local play lets eliminated players lock on with a homing missile. Before you have that intimate familiarity with every spoon and Cheerio on the messy breakfast table though, the AI feels a little too good in this mode, and can put a dampener on two people playing. Elimination is predicated on your ability to read the road ahead or having learnt the tracks by heart, especially as the leader gets closer to the edge and has less time to react. Simply put, it pales in comparison to the already fairly minimalistic online play, and almost makes me question whether or not I’m remembering the classic Micro Machines games right.

Elimination is there for local four player multiplayer, with all players sharing the screen, and there’s a cut down battle mode called Free For All, pulling players into a small arena. A race in Skirmish can only be played solo as there’s no split screen in Micro Machines games, and even then it’s restricted to just four racers while the online multiplayer can fill out an entire grid of 12 with AI as needed. Sadly, where it was once the main reason to pick up a Micro Machines game, local play in Skirmish feels like the less favoured child in this game, and World Series doesn’t even attempt to do a career. It’s a million miles away from the likes of Mario Kart in this respect. They’re quite laughably ineffective 90% of the time, and the bomb is just as likely to propel someone chasing you forward as it is to wipe them out. All of the vehicles are brought much closer together in speed and handling, and you’re limited to a nerf gun that slows vehicles it hits, a hammer that slaps things directly in front of you, and a bomb that’s thrown behind. They’ve striven to make each vehicle feel in Battle, but this doesn’t really carry over to the main races.

It feels like a page has been lifted from Overwatch’s design manual in this regard, and that carries through to the loot box system, with boxes earned for levelling up and earning you cosmetic items like liveries, voice lines and death sprays. Stein monster truck has a shotgun primary weapon, grappling hook and “earthquake” slam attack, with the ability to unleash a tornado as its ultimate. The GI Joe Mobat fires tank shells, and can lay chaff mines, rapid fire and once the ultimate is charged, unleash an air strike, while the Hank N. The twelve vehicles get their own identity here, thanks to different speeds and handling, as well as unique sets of weapons and special abilities. Nerf guns pop up here and there, GI Joe’s tank is one of the vehicles, and even Hungry Hippos and a Ouija Boards get to be Battle map centrepieces. Two teams of five race around these roughly symmetrical maps, making the most of the expanded Hasbro licensing in the game. It all looks great in action, with plenty of depth of field to help emphasise the scale of everything on show.īattle mode, meanwhile, features bespoke levels to let you play game modes like Capture the Flag and Control Point. There’s a race through a frozen garden, with a nice split level section and patches of treacherous ice there’s the classic messy breakfast table, the pool table, and so on. You’ll be racing across ten new tracks that make you feel like you’re in Honey, I Shrunk The Kids.
