The pacing and classic Micro Machines birds-eye perspective combine to make this a fairly difficult Micro Machines game (though nothing on the level of Turbo Tournament). You can barely see where you're going before falling off somewhere, which was less of an issue I encountered when I played V3. The beauty of the game is it respawns you very quickly and any setback you face gets remedied pretty fast due to the fast pace. The tracks and powerups do feel fairly thoughtless and uninspired even for their time, though some tracks are more fun than others. The characters and their unique vehicles were a fun and campier avenue for the franchise.

An absolute classic in my book, unfortunately buried in irrelevancy. I have never met anyone who owned this game but it is very good with a banging soundtrack. The party modes were also great fun with friends back in the day.
