Good fun!
About 7 years ago i got MM V3 for the Playstation, if discs could be used up, then it would have been, me and a friend of mine played it so much that we knew every race from the top of our hat, and hardly made any mistakes, which resulted that if we played the mode where we had to outrun each other that we would easily go through 3 or 4 laps before someone made a mistake.
2 weeks ago i was looking for games for my mobile phone and saw a Micro Machines for it, although i didn't get it for my phone, i did decide to search this site for which Micro Machines came out after V3, and found this 1.
So i got the game and started installing it, after some weird error it gave me about my PC possibly not being able to run it (even though my PC is way beyond the requirements of the game) i finally could play the game.
The game quickly felt like what i remembered from V3, it was still as fast, nice maps and fun weapons. Having a Xbox360 controller also makes sure the expierence is how it should be.
Graphics wise the game isn't impressive, on the other hand it is Micro Machines, and the whole toy look from not just the cars, but also the enviroment is nice.
I had no problem turning everything on max at 1280x960 with a Geforce 6800 GT, but considering everything i'm guessing i could do that aswell with the Geforce 4 TI4200 i still have.
The gameplay is excellent, due to the very high framerate everything is completely smooth, and the maps are well made.
The sound is what you can expect from MM, nothing special, but it fits perfectly.
Value wise this game is great, you can spend countless of hours with friends playing this game, the more the better, and with the online function you can also play it with others when you are alone.
Still not all is perfect, unfortunaly they removed some parts like the boat races, and although there are a lot of cars in the game, they aren't that exciting, they also removed some fun weapons like the green blob with which you could push others away, which was great.
There are also still known bugs that were in MM V3 aswell, if you fall down then you aren't out of the race untill you hit the ground, and if you drive off the track while being number 1 into the right direction, then you can win if the others go off your screen, even though you should be dead.
Overall this game is great, it's not perfect, it doesn't look amazing, and there are some flaws, but it's good fun, and i haven't encountered anything so far that has put me off, so if you like Micro Machines, then you should definetly get this one.
