"The all-new Battle Arenas will allow you to wreak mass destruction on a miniature scale against your friends or the AI. "As well as bringing to you the classic game modes like Race and Elimination, Micro Machines World Series will introduce a new style of game play to the series: Battle Mode." reads a Codemasters press release. Not content with just rolling out the same old thing, Codemasters has also mentioned a brand new mode for fans to get stuck into: Battle mode. Have a better look at the game with the gallery of screenshots below: "Micro Machines World Series will retain the manic social game play of the classic series, but will bring a new dimension to the experience with stunning HD visuals – taking you to the much-loved household environments as they’ve never been seen before." Only now, it just looks a damnsight better too. Which to us, simply means that it's retained the same silly, pick-up-and-play fun for all ages experience that the series always had.
In true Micro Machines fashion, Codemasters say that the games been designed around fun and frantic play at every turn, meaning there will never be a dull moment on the racetrack or in the arena.

If you have friends who also have the game you can link up online, but unless you have a lot of friends who want to jump in you'll face the same issues.Micro Machines V3 was hands down one of the best racing games on PlayStation 1 and how it's taken this long for Codemasters to bring back the miniture mayhem we'll never know.īut that's not important, because it is coming back and in a very big way on June 23rd 2017 for PS4, Xbox One and PC gamers. This means each brief race was preceded by minutes of fruitless searching, with the end result seeing me pitted against a squad of AI (and maybe one human opponent) anyway.Įven if this was Rocket League or Overwatch, where the core experience is fun enough to motivate me to keep coming back, I probably wouldn't tolerate such a desolate online game.
Worse, I played through dozens of online matches and the game struggled to fill the match with players every single time. Both are claustrophobic and scrappy, as the game does not support split screen. As mentioned earlier local multiplayer is extremely limited and uninteresting, consisting of an elimination mode for racing and a small-scale battle arena. With the game lacking the various vehicle types, long list of stages and single-player Challenge mode of the original, all the emphasis is on the multiplayer, making the relative impossibility of playing with other people is biggest issue here. In battle mode, each cehicle has its own set of special abilities. Where you end up placing feels due entirely to luck, which might be OK if you were having fun racing your friends. The constant scrum of cars mixed with the explosive power-ups and myriad falling hazards means even the cleanest racing will inevitably see you undone and forced back to somewhere near last place. In race mode, the special abilities are replaced by homogenising power-ups, with skillful racing rarely being enough to keep you out in front.
But controlling these cars is way too imprecise for anything other than careening around at top speed, making the objective-based play incredibly frustrating. You play your role depending on your car (the spy is stealthy and deadly, the ambulance is a healer, etc) and build up to your ultimate abilities as you infiltrate and defend. In battle, each car has its own personality and special abilities, and matches progress like a team-based online shooter might. You can choose between racing or battling, either on your own against AI, with friends in very limited local multiplayer or in an online ranked mode. Codemasters has gambled on a competitive focus for the new Micro Machines, and lost.
