We had a quick go of the Battle mode, perhaps this adds something else to the game, I dunno, we didn't play it long enough for me to give fair comment but it's not the reason I bought MM World Series.

Bought out of sentiment to play offline multiplayer races so not interested in any of the online stuff or the battle games. The first game, released in 1991 for the Nintendo Entertainment System, birthed a series that quickly became known for its wacky courses. And being honest for a moment, I usually like to rejog my memories with these pieces and will go back and play the title in question for a bit. The only memory 90's gaming memory this brought back was the disappointment of playing with a Barcode Battler for the first time.

Now would be a good time to tell you about some of these characters, but the truth is, they weren’t very memorable at all.

That said, some complain about the controls, saying the cars are too sensitive and the controls are basic. While prepping for this review I went back and tested both Toybox and the original Micro Machines and the handling in World Tour is actually much closer to the friction free Mega Drive original than it is to the more chunky feel of Toybox.

The game's 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. Micro Machines World Series is a racing video game developed and published by Codemasters for Microsoft Windows, OS X, Linux, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. On Xbox though, there is still a buggy achievement that has never been fixed, the online portion died off pretty quickly rendering most of the main game unplayable and somehow it lost all identity. The emphasis wasn’t on local multiplayer so much anymore, friends would instead meet in online lobbies.Tight turns, deadly drops and a confusing mini map don't help matters much but when you add the chaos of the combat to the mix, things can quickly go from fun to frustrating. Micro Machines World Series is combines the thrilling madness of racing micro vehicles with epic team battle strategies. out of 10: "This could get fixed into a solid game, but players should be cautious until an overhaul occurs". In addition to classic game modes such as Race and Elimination, Micro Machines World Series introduces all new Battle Arenas which allow you to wreak mass destruction on a miniature scale against your friends or the AI.
