Older gamers will remember Micro Machines, one of the strongest and most successful franchises in the history of video games--and particularly in that of the Sega Megadrive. Its now been updated to take advantage of the processing power of next-generation consoles, and offers the same fast-paced, top-down racing with miniature vehicles that has made Micro Machines games so popular in the past--and then some. The gameplay is more varied than ever before, with a huge variety of tracks and levels in many different environments. There is also a large selection of vehicles on offer for next-gen gamers. More attention has been lavished on the characters, too; players have eight new characters to choose from, each with their own personalities, special abilities and choice of vehicles to add more diversity than ever to the Micro Machines experience. Up to four players can compete at once in this fast and furious 3-D racing extravaganza.
