Although that rocket ability is only available in the offline mode, I imagine to make it more fair when playing online. When you’re eliminated, you do have the chance to launch a rocket at any of the remaining vehicles, to really screw with them. It’s a very challenging mode, where I’ve possibly had the most fun. If you get blown up, you’re out and you get the idea. You’re battling to stay alive as long as you can. The elimination mode is similar in style to the race mode, but with one major difference. I have to say it never gets old driving into a toaster, to be flung across the map. I’ve seen them rather a lot drive around without attempting to hit anyone, then suddenly the moment you’re next to them and-POW-you’re toast, warm buttery toast. The AI does act a little odd in the race mode sometimes in regards to the weapon power ups. The tracks are messy, sometimes a little difficult to tell exactly where the track is and what’s a shortcut, but that’s part of the entertainment. Just be sure not to fall off the arena, because that respawn time feels like forever. You will be bashing into beans, slipping over spilt milk, avoiding toy soldiers and harassing your competition with various weapon pickups. The first of which, is the standard race mode! The courses themselves are fantastic and detailed. There’s three different game modes which I will go over. Note: I've been told the online play is compatible with Windows, Mac & Linux. Update: Since the game is now released, I've been able to try it out online too and it works perfectly. They’re slippery little devils, add in the weapons and they can be really quite menacing. I’ve been constantly beaten in the battle modes and beaten a number of times in the races. I haven’t been able to test the online modes, but thankfully the AI is really quite good and will give you a real run for your money. It has nicer visuals, a decent variety on offer and a mix of online and local multiplayer to keep everyone entertained. A true return to form you might say! It’s very similar to some of the older titles, so there’s a good amount of nostalgia. Thankfully Micro Machines World Series sees the return of great game.

Very close to 11 years later (I’m not counting the mobile title), give or take a few days, how does Micro Machines World Series feel? Ah, memories! They continued making Micro Machines games until 2006 when V4 landed, which didn’t really get the best reviews. I remember then moving onto Micro Machines V3 years later and rediscovering my love of this silly racer. Driving along a pool table, entering a pocket and coming out another one, it was absolute bliss for a young child. Then when I got a bit older, I remember being introduced to an actual Micro Machines racing game for the Amiga and I loved how utterly insane it was. I remember playing with Micro Machines toys a lot when I was younger, collecting hundreds of different vehicles and flinging them around the house. It’s incredibly hard not to feel completely giddy with excitement with this one. It’s really damn fun and great to have it on Linux!ĭisclosure: Key provided by the porter, Virtual Programming. I’ve been playing through Micro Machines World Series and I have to say it’s absolutely fantastic. Note: Review was updated with thoughts on the online side now it's live.
