I've played all eras of Micro Machines video games over the years, starting with the Sega Game Gear version in the mid 90's, and on the Megadrive which was one of the most enjoyable. There was a version on the iPhone too which looked very similar to this and was the best iPhone game to date, very enjoyable to play until the app was discontinued. I bought this expecting it to be at leave as fun to play as the iPhone version but was disappointed. The main reason is there is no 1 player challenge mode. In the older games and the iPhone version you could unlock better cars and more tracks by playing the 1 player mode. With this one it's pretty much an online only game, yet there is no one online to play against. So you end up having to wait a couple of minutes before every race starts while it searches for players, for it to find none every time. You end up racing against AI racers and there is no reward for winning a race. Such a shame as all previous versions of this have been so good to play. The tracks are great, the choice of vehicles good, and the graphics are awesome. But lacking the options to play a decent game. The controls aren't great either, not as natural as they could be with no option to change the controls. An update to the game to enable 1 player challenge play and other better modes with rewards would be great and change the game totally - it's so close to being a great game but so far too. This had so much potential to be an amazing online game too, similar to what the iPhone version with similar tracks was.Read full review

Really not like the original on ps1. Very difficult to move around my son had trouble even tho he is a young pro gamer. Has to much steering problems. The choice of cars is OK and the graphics for the environment is really nice but the game play is really not good. To much loading and just for the simple fact is just not the same.

Cannot play local multiplayer! The best feature about previous titles is no longer available. It's boring and repetitive solo, can only play against others online. Very dissapointing, waste of an opportunity to bring back one of the greatest racing multiplayers.
