For many, the very fact that Supersonic hasn't tinkered unnecessarily with its own winning formula will be welcomed. Like a lot of old classics, the key is to V4's enduring appeal is the simplicity and purity of the gameplay, and when someone releases a game that offers as much unpretentious fun as this, the fact that it's a flagrant retread with little in the way of new ideas is not a major problem so long as the price is right. Despite the general lack of effort to move things forward, you just know it will score a few nostalgia points for those of you who haven't owned a thrilling, fast-paced top-down racer since the '90s. It's not really any better or worse despite Codemasters and Supersonic's lengthy break from the franchise (you might also recall that Infogrames had a brief stint back in late 2002, but it flopped despite being ok-ish), it does the job just fine in either single or multiplayer across a few basic modes and with a few minor twists and additions. Who cares what the nasty old critics think? Old dog, new tricks?īut the nasty old critics can't really do anything other than report that Micro Machines V4 hasn't exactly moved on a great deal.

Then we'd get a cheeky wink from Gary Lineker who would lighten the mood with a quip about David Darling's hair and surmise that it was an efficient return to the starting line-up for the veteran franchise.Īnd then we'd cut to some cheery, beery fans, celebrating their recent multiplayer result and chanting "Genius at play!" They'd be barely able to string a coherent sentence together, but would be full of song and infectious joy. It might be eight years since V3 graced the PSone, but Alan Hansen would point out the defensive naivety, and highlight the glaring predictability in Codemasters' tactics and suggest things need freshening up if it is to compete on the world stage. The pundits back in the studio, meanwhile, would be in no mood to pay lip service to Supersonic for the sake of blind nostalgia. If the BBC collared Sven Goran Eriksson about his thoughts on the rebirth of Micro Machines V4, he'd probably peer balefully over his glasses, do his best owl impression, surreptitiously emit a pellet and come to the conclusion that "we got the right result" and hoot that it "played well" while skirting wistfully over the issue and managing to avoid giving us any real insight into the matter.
In this contrary world that we inhabit, you get used to contrasting opinions about everything.
