Micro Machines V4

[Clstrphbc_donut]

Anyone had a play of the demo? Just had a quick go of it, and its still as fun and highly addictive as V3. Great game for upto 4 people, can't wait to have a 4-way battle when a few mates are round.

You can grab the demo from here

Woooo! Cheers for that!

Downloading now. MM v3 was the best multiplayer game on the PS1 by a long shot.

I didn't think much to the PS2 version - it was... OK.

Anyway, downloading this now - let's see.

Came in the post this morning, only £13 from Play (seems to have gone up now though). Fantastic, already had a three way game. It's so simple, yet so fun!

And up until now, I thought you were sane.

Wouldn't mind playing against my fellow forum-goers if you do get the game...

Does this have online play?

[greektony]

this is exactly what i wanted to know.......does the demo have an online option? if so if anyones up for a game i'll download it

[Bunjiweb]

looks bloody awful graphically, but i spose graphics aren't everything right?

I never really liked Micro Machines going 3D, though i'm willing to give V4 a go in the hope that it recaptures the total playability of the Megadrive versions. I still think Micro Machines 96: Turbo Tournament on the Megadrive is the best version, even though some may point out that it is merely a re-vamped version of Micro Machines 2. This is true, it's exactly the same to play, '96 just has more courses more customisability, a j-cart for 4 players and a track designer. I played it with a old mate recently when I dug out my Medga Drive and instantly we were back to using the same old tactics that we used on the same game back in our school days in an instant. A proper cast iron classic, for me no Micro Machines game since has managed to be so utterly playable and fun. I'll let you know what I think of V4.

somethingawful didnt like it, heh, not much can be read into that i know! many fond memories of mm2. Tho Violet Berlin's a lot hotter now than she was in bad influence

[JimmyBoy]

ah the memories of micro machines on the amiga

fantastic game though i was never very good at it !!

hows the new 1 compare to the 1st two??

downloaded it the other day when my annoying (but uncancelable) CodeM subscribers list email came hrough not played it yet but looks like a modern take on the MM classics that i have loved as a party game. Monkey Ball rulezzzzzzzzzz tho. (-disagree-ers?)

Edit: The PS2 I-Toy with that game that has all the different games (like bubbles and kungfoo, and pint pourer) is friggin fantastic for parties.

bomber man and super off road rule

and also mario kart

and also super probotector (spelliiiiing!)



and prior to that silkworm and a game that "may" have been called world war 3. (biplanes, then ww2 spitfire type things, then jets, slightly isometric but mainly over the top view) anyone reemmbers that one let me know! need to know what it was really called!

F22 Interceptor?

That maybe another game that was amazing, it was on Amiga and C64. Real time war game with planes, tanks, submarines, objectives include higher technology like ion bombs and nuke based WMD.
