    Great fun and not too serious. Not sure why it's getting such abysmal reviews, perhaps people have forgotten that gaming was about having fun.

    Not bad but with some camera problems.

    I love this game! Even though you do have to play over and over again to get anywhere, I reckon you can't go wrong if you want a game with fast paced explosive racing action. What I love is how different all the cars are - you really get to know which ones are the best. Oh yes - if you are worried by having to progress sooo slowly through the levels, get the cheats! For $5 you get to unlock everything the game has to offer. Go to www.codemasters.com and find your way from there. Please, enjoy!… Expand

    This game is a blast to play in multiplayer, and can be very competitive. Especially fun are the trecherous train levels, although the massive variety of tracks means you can play for hours without getting bored.

    As a console-to-pc game, you'll want to play with a gamepad and 3 of your friends. It does look very nice on a 22" widescreen monitor. (yes it supports widescreen!)

    A     patch fixes rendering issues that plagued the original release on some video cards. It is unfortunately shipped with a driver-based CD detection scheme.… Expand

    As a harmless game for kids to play together, Micro Machines V4 serves its purpose, but a bit of flair and a larger scope could have made it the ultimate party racing game.

    Online trading is a neat idea that brings back memories of swapping doubles of the real toys but aside from that, V4 is a desperately shallow, repetitive game. Very much a sleeping dog, and you know how that little phrase goes.

    Extras like a free, waypoint-based track editor add charm. The same thing goes for online car-swapping features. But between a Super Nintendo-era audio-library, limp-wristed vehicular duels, and snooze-inducing stages, it's too little, too late.
