14 DAY TRIAL // It's been called "the most playable game in the world" and was the party game of choice for a gaming generation - now a MICRO MACHINES video game is set to return to game screens as Codemasters announced the revival of its classic series.
A smash-hit series through the 1990s, Codemasters has secured the rights to the miniature vehicles for an all-new video game that promises a real return to the MICRO MACHINES game's much loved, all-out fun, racing gameplay. The property is under license from the Hasbro Properties Group
Mixing miniature mayhem with maximum multiplayer racing, the MICRO MACHINES 4 game will arrive packed with knockabout, breakneck racing in the fastest scale miniatures, complete with explosive weapon power-ups. Letting players loose with hundreds of vehicles, each with distinctive performance abilities, they will be racing their inch-long miniature motors on the wildest tracks where everyday household objects appear immense in size and can become lethal hazards.
Sport cars, street racers, stock cars, 4x4s, beach buggies, lowriders and muscle cars are just some of the MICRO MACHINES models gamers will be taking out on the improvised tracks around the MICRO MACHINES house, garden and - for the first time - beyond!
Fans of classic MICRO MACHINES games will rejoice in the return of some of the series' most popular racing arenas. Spin out around the breakfast table littered with cereal spills, tear through the kitchen, turbo boost around the pool table (while avoiding the treacherous pockets), or hit the gas during the drive around the rim of the bath, carefully negotiating the ferocious waters pouring over the edge of the bath.
As well as the familiar feel-good environments, MICRO MACHINES 4 game sees the racing world expand further than any previous MICRO MACHINES game. Go beyond the house and garden tracks and discover what it's like to race across house roofs, in the sewers, through supermarkets, museums and even down to the farm, with its danger-packed chicken coop!
Of course, it wouldn't be MICRO MACHINES without an arsenal of power-ups and weapons to collect and use on the opponents while racing. The MICRO MACHINES 4 game brings all the favorites back, including -the car-mounted giant hammer!
With much more unique game content yet to be revealed, the MICRO MACHINES 4 game is set to capture the dynamic, fast, fun gameplay of its classic predecessors when it launches in summer 2006 for PlayStation2, PSP, PC and Nintendo DS.
