Micro Machines V4 demo News

PC PlayStation 2 PSP DS
News by Tom Bramwell

23 June, 2006

Codemasters has released a demo of the PC Micro Machines V4, which is due out on PS2, PSP and PC on June 30th - with a DS version to follow.

The demo weighs in at 227MB and you can grab it from Eurofiles now.

According to Codies, the demo lets up to four players take on three of the game's tracks - one set in the kitchen, another on the rooftops and a third inside a chicken coop.

"Kitchen Capers" has you zooming over hobs, counters and an ironing board in classic Micro Machines fashion, with a familiar soapy lake to avoid using a floating sponge.

"Pecking Peril" involves dodging enormous chickens and eggs to see who comes first, while "Rooftop Rumble" features drainpipes, air vents and the like.

You can also expect to take advantage of some of the game's many weapons, including machine guns, missiles, electric shockers and others.

It's also possible to practice single-player against the AI using the demo's Quick Battle mode.

Check back next week for our full review of the game prior to its release next Friday.

Looking forward to this. I wore out the disk on the amiga version (well the metal flap fell off and got stuck in the drive) and Im sure I was pretty close on the PS1 version. Two players to a joypad was genius.

Jethro FTW!!

Haha, I remember the good amiga one too. I'm hoping this will be a return to form, no way of finding out until work release me from torment for the day.

Tried this last night and couldn't work out why the leading car was winning a point when another car was right behind, definitely not a screen's length behind.

Sony needs to put this demo on PSP.

One demo is not enough!

I hope this isn't a half-assed flop like Worms Open Warefare on the DS, I'm very sceptical about UK produced games after that pile of trollop.

Codemasters are based in the UK aren't they :S

Please fix the .torrent or is it just not working for me?

Zero Beat: I had that problem on the PS2 demo too, points were being awarded very generously.

That aside, I liked it but it is basically V3 with nicer graphics and more weapons. I'm pretty much ok with that, V3 had the hammers after all. Genius.
