 | 2: Micro Machines BUY Category: Video Game Consoles, Nintendo GameCube It's now knocking on five years since the super-small toy cars last graced a Nintendo console. That's a long time in video gaming, but not quite long enough for us to forget what a great little title it was in a simple-yet-utterly compelling kind of way. Well, hats off to Infogrames - and their newly-acquired Atari label - because Micro Machines are back, bringing with them the same classic racing action along with all the eye candy we've come to expect of the GameCube. As before, there are no Donington Parks, Silverstones or Suzukas to be found here, as all the racing takes place on small-scale, mock-up tracks in domestic environments. Remember the ones you used to build around the house and in the garden when you were a kid? Well that's the order of the day here, with the tiny cars battling it out across an assortment of weird and wonderful environments, such as a barn, a jungle, an attic, and a graveyard. A diverse array of characters injects a little personality into the proceedings. Each of the characters has at their disposal a unique set of vehicles that enable them to traverse the various terrains. Eighties playboy Miami Mike, for example, cruises the off-road sections in a cool 4X4, which transforms, Spy Hunter-style, into a swanky speedboat for the water sections. As you may expect, there's an abundance of different game modes for both the single and multiplayer experiences. The self-explanatory Time Trial and Single Race options are available in both cases but, as far as the more lonesome player is concerned, Championship mode is where it's at, offering no less than four competitions to race through. Anyone who is familiar with Micro Machines games will be aware that the multiplayer mode is by far the best bit. This latest release is no exception, offering a host of different challenges in which up to four players can compete. From the classic Micro Machines mode - where everyone's frantically trying to keep up on the same screen - to games such as Bomb Tag and GP, this title has more than enough stuff to keep you and your mates entertained (or should we say at each other's throats). One of the game's saving graces is that the developers have retained the same isometric game mechanic of its predecessors rather than opting for the usual 3D makeover which we are used to today. In its day, the original Micro Machines was fast, frantic and a whole heap of fun because of this element. So is this.

 | 7: Micro Machines BUY Category: Toys & Games, Electronic Games Codemasters' Micro Machines last graced a handheld platform in late 2000 when the miniature racers revisited the top-down, table-top mayhem first seen in the early nineties. That was over two years ago, and in that time the Game Boy hardware has undergone major overhaul. Game Boy Advance is now available for your playing pleasure, as is the new Micro Machines racer. As before, there are no Donington Parks, Silverstones or Suzukas to be found here - racing takes place on small-scale, mock-up tracks set in largely domestic environments. Garden ponds, snooker tables, breakfast tables, class rooms and science labs are all available for a miniature tournament and they all come complete with strategically placed obstacles such as forks, reeds, cues, rulers and Bunsen burners. As you may expect, there's an abundance of different game modes for both the single and, more importantly, multi-player experiences. The self-explanatory Time Trial and Single Race options are available in both cases but, as far as the lonesome player is concerned, Championship mode is where it's at, offering no less than four competitions to race through. Anyone who is familiar with Micro Machines games will be aware that the multi-player mode is by far the best bit. Micro Machines GBA, like its 128-bit counterparts, is no exception, offering a host of different challenges in which up to four players can compete via a link cable. The only downside is that you're going to have so much fun playing this mode that you'll need an abundance of long-life batteries to keep it going. Play it. Play it now.

 | 9: Micro Machines BUY Category: Video Game Consoles, Sony Playstation Micro Machines makes its presence felt on PS2 in a big way. To our shame, we couldn't get too animated about the game's resurrection for the next-gen platforms. We say 'to our shame' because we weren't prepared for anything like this. All the goodness that drew you to previous versions of Micro Machines on older platforms is here in abundance, and then some. The gameplay is as gripping as ever, simple but effective, and in its many multiplayer modes, great fun and big laughs are just a rev away. Training will teach you all you need to know on how to master your machine and navigate the myriad worlds of Micro Machines, and we highly recommend you take time to get used to the controls. With such a limited area of the course visible when racing, fast reactions are essential to success and progression in the game. With the basics under your belt, you should have what it takes to race under pressure. You can quit training mode at any time, and you don't have to train to be able to play any of the modes. However, we recommend that you learn what you can while you can. The machines may be micro but the challenge is huge. Single player mode, and Single Race, is a good place to go after your training. The idea is simple: race against up to three competitors on a track of your choice and cross the finish line before them. Time Trial is also a good place to get some serious practice in, as you try to get the fastest time possible on a given course. There's a Championship option in single player mode too. Race against three computer-controlled players over four stages. After each race is completed, your points score is determined by your position, and after all four races have been run, the winner is the one with the most Championship points. That's not all, though, because there are four championship cups up for grabs. Lots to do in solo mode, then. However, it's in the Micro Machines one-to-four player mode where the game really revs up. Multi-players can take part in a single race (no explanation needed there) or a Tournament, where the first player to score six points wins. Again there are four cups available to the best drivers over four races in each stage, that's 16 races in total. Another mode for up to four players to enjoy is Bomb Tag, played in split-screen. We've seen it before in many other titles, but it's still a staple of multi-player games and we never tire of it. One of the players begins this mode with the bomb in their possession and has to transfer it to another player before it explodes. Up to two players can take part in the Micro GP mode. There are checkpoints scattered around the circuits that you have to reach within the time limit to be able to carry on racing and hope to be the first to the finishing line. Throughout the Micro GP, you will have to change vehicles during the race, depending on the changing environments. To do this, head for the morphing gates that appear just before the terrain changes, and pop out the other side in control of a more suitable machine. The Micro Machines brand is viewed as something of a precious thing by some gamers. Its reappearance on the PS2 will please those very people because it continues in the same vein and brings something new to the table. For those who went straight to a PS2, bypassing other Sony or Nintendo hardware, this new version should be a real eye-opener.
