Micro Machines N64 arsenal1991
GET YOUR ENGINES STARTED ITS TIME TO GO MICRO RACING
But not the racing you might think of racing around world known circuits instead your gonna be racing Micro Machines around such areas as your breakfast table to the beach to even your pool table room
Here is my review of the iconic Micro Machines game made for the Nintendo 64
ill start by saying a little something about the game that i do very much find a good thing
Micro Machines was also made for the Playstation (PS1) which i owned but also for the N64 unlike the PS1 though the N64 came with a unique feature that will allow players to have what turbo setting they wanted
this was not proper turbo this rather actually meant what speed setting you want it comes with technically 6 settings no turbo all the way up to max turbo for insane speed (gotta say you need super sharp reactions for that level haha)
Now to sum up of what i actually thought of the game that even today i still love playing
Graphics-10
Certainly for me for a Nintendo 64 game considering this was at a time when graphics were really starting to improve and make games come to life for me this was one game that really did make me feel that i'm playing a game that makes me feel connected to the world or a part of my life that i know
most striking graphics is certainly the garden courses and breakfast table courses they are very full of life and colour the graphics could not be any better
Sound-6
Unfortunately this has to be the worst bit about the game for me though its not actually like properly poor to the point where some games are worth switching the sound off
There is not much music to really talk about and its a shame that when your racing that there is not some sort of funky music to listen to so all you really get is the engine sounds from a F1 style engine sound to a truck roaring away
elsewhere there is menu music but other than that there really isnt much to talk about
Addictiveness-10
same can really be said for both PS1 and N64 versions of this you can easily play this game for over a hour with so many cars to choose to race with and so many tracks in each zone
certainly for anyone this is a game worth playing even for non racing fans
Depth-10
Depth for this game is something where the game just totally expands and makes people fall in love with the game entirely
theres circuits that are short and easy and very quick to circuits that are long and complex and very hard
then theres different zones that you can race in
theres a science zone beach zone even a 8 ball pool zone and more
not to mention there is loads of cars to win so that you can use them when doing trial mode on your favourite circuits but these can only be won in 1 player mode
there is also a various amount of game modes that you can play from 1 player head to head to racing with other cars
there is so much depth in this game that it can make your head explode with excitement
Difficulty-4
going by the difficulty in 1 player mode the 1st 3 levels (Easy medium hard effectively) are pretty ok but do need quick reactions to turn as some can be fast but with a few sharp turns and some circuits mainly the Garden zone can suddenly have no track as you go through the grassy areas
so again its a case of some circuits you'll find easy and do well in but others you won't which is normally the hard circuits which can contain alot of corners
the cars you are given to race in also help but other times you'll need to control them more as some are very fast to handle but overall the difficulty is not that hard but a challenge
Overall-10
for me personally this has to be one of the best racing games before the PS1 era and i would tell anyone to give this game a try even if they don't like Micro Machines

Bring out the 6 year old in you! Melancholy
Bring out the 6 year old in you! This game may look like a little kid game, but trust me, it's addictive and not child like at all.
Race on the beach, or the kitchen table, no telling where your gonna race next!
There's no story, and single player is dull, so I recommend getting four of your friends for a competition, 8 for just some laughs. the 8 player is hilarious,but difficult, so I don't recommend a competition.
This game isn't so appealing to anyone who doesn't like racing games or didn't grow up with Hot Wheels, but is highly recommended.
This post has been expanded and will be updated soon.
