![]() ![]() Elimination is a race to say in front where falling off the screen will mean instant elimination from the race. The modes it offers are all online competitive modes, with the main focus all going into the battle modes which features capture the flag and deathmatch elements making it a meatier mode than the other two. In being an online only game, it misses out on what made the original series so great, single player experience. This game feels like the old Xbox 360 Arcade titles as in a game that would be priced at £10 or just over but at £24.99, this game lacks enough content to justify that price. The same top down racing style is back as is the heavily drifting style of driving and for the first hour or two this game packs a nostalgia punch with a modern twist but sadly quickly lost my interest. Focusing on three game modes Racing, Battle and Elimination but trying to blend in the leveling up and loot crate reward system of Overwatch. Micro Machines World Series brings back the top down racing gameplay of the original series but this time making it an online only experience. But in the clear light of day, once the nostalgia factor wears off, which it did very quickly I might add, what is left is a rather hollow experience that does not deserve the £24.99 price tag. I remember it being amazing fun so when I heard that another attempt to bring the series back was to be made with Micro Machines World Series I was genuinely excited. ![]() It was just so much fun, racing tiny toy vehicles on crazy race tracks such as kitchen tables, school desks and bedroom floors. ![]() I first played Micro Machines back in the day on both Megadrive and Amiga. But it is very true to say that sometimes, just sometimes nostalgia is not enough to carry a game and sadly Micro Machines World Series is a good example of this truth. A Chance to relive past games that mean something special to you or just to take a trip back to a totally different generation of gaming is something a good portion of gamers these days are more than happy to spend their hard earned money on. Nostalgia is a huge factor when it comes to remastering video games, well in the eyes of the player anyway. ![]()
