The Micro Machines games are departures from normal racing games: instead of a powerful F-1 chariot, you'll race toy cars around homemade courses such as Dad's desktop or Mom's kitchen, each with its own obstacles. Not only do you have cars that require different handling techniques for each course, but in Micro Machines 2 you even get to steer a hovercraft or a helicopter. There are also different playing modes which include the innovative head-to-head in which you score points by outpacing your opponent by a full screen's length. Both are great fun, and very addictive :) Note: Micro Machines 2 has a "Special Edition" that includes a track editor and more tracks to begin with. Reviewed by: Underdogs |
