THIS is one game that really needs very little introduction. One of THE games of all time, MicroMachines (1 and 2) stormed the console charts and successfully made the transition onto the PC market with absolutely no drop off in the playability. It has to be said there was much jubilation all round here at IDG when we got a copy of this game in the office. If ever an excuse was needed to lay down the keyboard - which incidentally there isn't - and play for hours on end, this was it.
I guess it must be safe to say that Codemasters have virtually cornered the 'tiny-little-vehicles-driving-round-the-toilet-seat' style racing game, but we're not fussing. MicroMachines 2 is simply one of the best and most addictive games available on any format to date.
It's cute, it's playable, it has some of the best multi-player action ever, and, Codemasters allege, it blasts along at a staggering 60 frames per second - even on a 486, so it pretty much wellies it in the speed and feel departments as well.
To my mind multiplayer games are where it's at, and as far as multiplayer racing games go MicroMachines 2 is the DB's.
