The brand's board games line some of the tracks (one Battle arena takes place on a Hungry Hungry Hippos board) and the pickups are all Nerf products: a hammer, a machine gun, and a bomb that drops behind you. What’s new is a heavy-handed coating of other Hasbro properties. They tread similar territory to what’s come before: the kitchen table, garden, workshop, and pool table are all present and correct.

It can make the first few races a bit of a chore, especially when the AI drivers offer a stiff challenge to top it off.Įventually you’ll get used to the handling, and memorising the tracks won’t be far behind that, as there are only ten. The handling for each car varies a little, but generally you’ll be sliding around all over the place until you figure it out. The racing fares better than the combat, although the controls are oddly slippery.
Outside of Battle mode, you have the more traditional Race and Elimination events. The general performance of the game isn’t great, however, struggling to hold up 30 frames-per-second quite frequently.
Matches rarely take more than a few seconds to find (empty slots are filled with AI racers), and lag was never really a problem in our experience. The online really is the meat of the game, then, and thankfully, it seems to work fairly well. It doesn’t count towards your level, and there don’t appear to even be any leaderboards for race times. What’s strange is that playing offline doesn’t earn you anything at all, other than maybe some Trophies. Competing online will earn you experience points, and each time you level up, you earn a loot box, each filled with a gaggle of cosmetic items like vehicle skins and other inconsequential fluff. Of all the games to influence a new Micro Machines title, Overwatch would’ve been the last on our list, but there are some surprising similarities throughout the design, from the UI to – gulp – loot boxes. Instead of a robust single player element to faff about with, the big focus here is online.
