Strangely enough... V3 was better!
Well, because literally you just get treated to a random looking menu system, no inspired artwork or anything, not even a tidy soundtrack!
All of the cars look really really typical, there is no difference between them except the handling. Just think a kind of shoe box with wheels from a distance.
Up close they dont look so bad, but micro machines has all been about the detail and the imagination, this game fails to capture this completely!
It's more or less, a bunch of random looking generic vehicles, and a bunch of levels, put inside a tree system of death unlocking system, and thats it.
Its definately not micromachines!!
The first ever game had some sweet music at the beginning of tracks etc, and it had a nice logo and presentation, this has none of that.
V3 has wonderful presentation and it essencially made a good try at making you believe you were driving micromachines.
This game makes you feel you are driving just very small cars! If you call this game (small cars) you would essencially not know the difference, or care.
There are no boats, bikes, no imagination at all. And its one of the hardest and most frustrating games to play. Even when you complete it, you have an absolute crappy bunch of 250 cars or so (out of a possible 450 or so).
Once you do all that, there is multi player, which is great for about 5 minutes.
I am hoping that one day, someone will totall mod this game up to be like the original.
End of.
