The speed payback is one step for x' and two steps back for
EAS twenty-three-year-old racing series. Well playback does fix a host of the 2015
Need for Speed reboots missteps. It also brushes away a lot of the stuff developer
ghost games got right that time.
Need for Speed 2015 return of 2003 and 2004 successful underground games and to
saw the return of very good performance and graphical customization. Between
all the hokey live-action first-person fist-bumping it also revolved around
encounters with real-world automotive by cons that's an idea I still genuinely
liked. Of course it was very short the world was also largely empty there
initially wasn't any drag racing and he couldn't even pause the game in
single-player it was flawed no doubt. Payback isn't as pretty for some reason
but it remedies all that latter stuff there's much longer experience here it
took around 17 hours to complete the story alone. plus the world is filled with
extra activities and events drag racing he's included from the get-go and hey
look you can pause it what a novelty but elsewhere well unfortunately payback gambled
big and lost.
Video action driving stuff is limited to a few movie inspired sequences and paybacks
a new police pursuit system that may look frantic on the surface but out really
that demanding unlike say the stuntman games payback does not allow us to do
any of the stunt stuff ourselves. Cut scenes take over all the cool bits it
makes these a fairly superficial experience. The cop chases feel needed too
escaping is now a totally linear exercise where we have to follow a set path
via checkpoints within a time limit instead of improvising and doing something
unpredictable to throw them off. Taking down cop cars and these events as a
welcomed enough burnout three flavors to it. I don't think it was worth losing
proper pursuits for the ride any cops around during free roam either they're
only present in story missions or its certain triggers spread around the map
that will initiate another linear timed chase. The rest of payback is bound
up in drifting and racing including Street off-road and
drag handling model is accessible arcade fare long lazy drifts are possible
with a dab of brake and a boot filled
with throttle that said I've had quite a
couple of events ruined by some overly hostile AI. The
respawning is a bit aggressive too.. The events themselves are all tied to defeating
themed race crews spread around the map each of whom introduces themselves like
they're the most important people on earth. The serene dialogue here had me wincing . Speaking
of bad dialogue payback features three player control characters that fall on a
sliding scale from exome to infuriating. They’re always one step ahead buddy especially
since they're functionally no different from each other they just tied to some
of the five specific car classes that are different from each other.
The segregated car divisions I can handle the upgrade system I cannot I hate it
in fact one individual visual customization options now need to be unlocked by
performing arbitrary tasks out in the world that it's designed to get us
interacting with all the new forts of horizon inspired jumps and speed traps
etc but in practice it's like gonna get your nose pierced and having the bloke
say sure. But number two and this is the biggie is the performance
customization has been distilled into a collectible card game. Unlike Need for
Speed 2015 which allowed us to bolt on specific parts to enhance performance
you
recognize sort of a normal racing
game. Payback two upgrades are controlled by speed cards honestly it'd take me
several minutes to explain the nuances and multiple in-game currencies point
systems and prize boxes involved in the acquisition of speed cards so you may
have to head over to the written review for a detailed explanation. Just know
that it's a cold random system yanked from the shore of the free-to-play mobile
swamp that doesn't care what you want or how much time you have and one that
has no real-world analogue. Imagine walking into an auto store with your eyes
covered tossing a dart into the air and walking out with whatever it's struck. I
couldn't ignore this system either because with the exception of the drift and
cop chase events the AI spanked me whenever I tried to cheap out and enter some
events that are too far below the required car level.
Need speed payback may
be a big competent and assured arcade
racer but it's really disappointed
by its linear cop chases its overwrought upgrade system
and its superficial action sequences. It feels fine and it looks flashy but
payback really went poorly Knights director DVD revenge tale and it was a bust
for me.

The core Forza Motorsport 7 occurrence is one that has not veer
much from the time-tested loop created by racing genre kingpin Gran Turismo
back in 1997 but developer turn 10 has created a replacement benchmark
with this year's edition. On pc there's nothing which will match
its automotive girth and it is the definitive car
collectathon on any console. Improvements to the driving conditions, massage
sound, on top of that its new dynamic weather and extreme better skies and
lighting, all come together to make the
simplest installment of the series since the fan favorite
for
2 motorsport 4.
There are tons
of things i prefer about the
Forza Motorsport series but chief amongst them is its commitment to showcasing
the broader selection of retro and modern metal on the market. It combines the
kind of cars you can find in just about any contemporary racing game with
lesser-known oddities pulled from the far fringes of global car culture. Here's
an example, I am another shame at meathead who likes most muscle cars and
sports cars but I prefer them if they can carry a refrigerator and a couch in
the back well, for team sports evan has four generations of Holden Utes these
vegemite eatin kangaroo pungent buggers NES these might not resonate with you
the same as they do with me because like Vegemite they're very much and a quiet
taste. My point is out of the seven hundred cars here chances are there's
something that will resonate with you in much the same way. there is an overall
lack of new to the series cars that didn't already debut in past games or as
previous TLC but this is still an utterly mega list.
The absurd level of car detail established by previous games has been absolutely
retained I don't know what sort of screwdriver you'd need to yank the headlight
out of an a9x tirana that's me and Philips head. They’re also more convincing
on track with wipers that now flutter and vibrate at high speed. Turn 10 is
applied more shake to the cabin view 2 which adds a bit of ferocity that's been
admittedly lacking from falter but one specific gripe here is it's odd shift
animation like your driver is stifling a wave. oh there's a new dash view that
alleviates that however and it's quite good marching out of this isuh fully
locked 60 frames per second under every circumstance even with all that detail
makes this just a tremendously sexy game but it's especially so in wet
conditions. Lighting and cloud cover changing each time you use a track is a
huge change for the better from courts of motorsport 6 as well and while
thoughts about is what sevens top-shelf graphics were getting the second base
with my eyeballs the cranked up sound design was busy swiping my eyeball silly
with a symphony of engine howl and exhaust crackle. Lacks some of the extra
layers of squeaks and whinnies and wiper clunks you get in project cars too but
it's a really strong and rich mix overall that begs to be played loud.
Controller handling feels as if it's been honed to convey more heft but it's still
quite straightforward to hold status money drift angles poising your car
sideways on the throttle. what's the matter SWAT seven still favors fun over
unflinching realism the tire dynamics definitely lacked a buy it exhibited in
the set of coarser or pudgy cars too because still pitch and squirrel around
other heavy braking and they still tend to require an arm full of opposite lock
when ever you emerge the corner exit a fraction too vigorously. on a wheel
there have been improvements to f1 2017 and project cars to have raised the bar
in this room quite a bit over the past few months but for tomatoes book 7 is
not too shabby. Fair warning the default wheel settings out of the box are
pretty bogus. Career mode has shifted to a more linear and structured solo
experience than previous games. The new forts of drivers cut may sound a little
tacky at first but chasing the grand prize at the end of it is propelling me
through 40 motorsport 7 like no game in this series before. I do wish there was
a
touch more freedom to switch events
like Forza horizon 3 introduced with its horizon blueprint system but free play
mode still offers plenty of scope to create the sort of events you prefer
including multi class races. Jan 10 is doubled down in the car collecting two
cars are now arranged in tiers and the more of them you have the further up
these tiers you'll be able to pluck cars from. it doesn't mitad Li smack a
little of Gran Turismo 5 s aggravating XP system which locked cars you could
otherwise afford until you'd reached an arbitrary level but I like the way the
system encourages us to interact with cars that may otherwise be ignored unlike
GT however Forza Motorsport 7 still allows you to drive anything you wanted
free play so nothing is ever totally inaccessible. Unless enamored by the new
loot boxes as a way of collecting cars and other items ladies seem poised to
suck credits from my account that I prefer to spend outright on the stuff that
I want.
Microsoft pitched for terminus book 7 as the ultimate automotive playset and
it's hard to argue otherwise with enough cars to fill a dozen museums and the
most generous selection of tracks so far within
the series the quantity of
driving experimenting and racing here is completely mammoth.
Accessible as always for beginners but crammed with content targeted at a
lifelong car junkies reports of motorsport 7 is turn tents finest love-letter
to speed install this generation no matter what language you speak.
The game has additionally many new,exclusive Forza Edition cars, most of which are taken from Forza Horizon 3 (3rd installment ). There are two new and amazing features that are also be taken from its sequels which are Motorsport title include dynamic weather (previously seen in Horizon titles) and customizable characters.
Minimum System Requirements :
CPU: Intel i5-750 2.67 GHz.
RAM: 8 GB.
OS: Windows 10 64-Bit Only.

Project CARS 2
Project cars 2 is
basically the simplest quite
racing game sequel one that's improved so meaningfully
it's hard to
travel back to the previous installmentm the handling is
remarkable the expanded track selection is unmatched in both dynamic time and
weather on everyone the much improved car selection hits an entire host
of fan favorite beats and therefore the sound
is seriously stunning for solo players as an absolute ocean of content and the multiplayer
suite seems well poised to pick up where the original project cars left off.
New handling model here is a tour de force on a wheel it's brilliant from the feeling
of being able to step the rear end out and still confidently arrest oversteer
to the feel of steering sharpening as your tires come up to temperature. The
sensation of grip is terrific but so is the feel of it going away which is way
more linear and realistic. On a gamepad though it's simply a different game to
the first altogether straight out-of-the-box project cars 2 feels manageable
and planted. It’s a fraction more numb on turn in compared to the one to one
directness you get on a wheel but the twitchiness of the first game is just
gone. You can still finesse the settings to your preferences though and if
you're still having trouble on track there's even a built in race engineer that
will suggest tuning changes based on the feedback you give it. It doesn't
replace the ability to set up your car manually but it is handy for Cole trickle
types who need a hairy hog to do their car whispering for them.
The massive career mode is similar to the first game though it offers more freedom
to choose the exact teams you want to race for and more events in general. This
time around the most prestigious series are locked until you earn a seat in
them injecting a better sense of purpose. Project cars 2 is
essentially the only quite
racing game sequel one that's improved so meaningfully it's hard to travel back
to the previous installment the handling is remarkable the extended track
selection is not close to similar in both dynamic time and weather on everyone
the much high quality car selection hits a whole host
of fan favorite beats and thus the
sound built into it for budding eSports types but if you're like me you may opt
instead to lose whole days fooling around endlessly with the custom offline
single-player races. Here you're basically a cross between the world's richest
automotive aficionado and some kind of weather genie well Alibaba had them
forty thieves but did he ever have to race in the divided desert during a
blizzard this is project cars 2 at its wildest and wackiest part motorsport
magic lamp part Al Gore's personal climate change nightmare.
Whether options are the cat's pajamas puddles pool in real time as the rain hammers
down and shrink when the Sun comes out nothing about the tracks feels static
they're evolving little worlds especially over long races at an injects variety
into the overall atmosphere. It helps of course that the huge track roster is
simply the best on the market and combined with a fantastic car selection
there's just so much game here more than 180 cars nine motorsport disciplines
29 motorsport series 60 venues and 130 plus living track layouts straight out
of the gates. Project cars 2 is immense value compared to some of its more
piecemeal peers with the addition of Porsche Ferrari Lamborghini and misson
many of the car classes that were sparsely populated in the original project
cars have been bolstered. The modern gt3 class is especially packed out there
are still some holes but it's a great cross-section of recognizable modern and
retro rides. Now developers slightly mad has also done pretty well with the AI
for all these vehicle types although some classes I tested we're really
struggling taking first coins cleanly on certain tracks. Like its predecessor
project cars 2 is a great looking game markedly so on PC and still quite
handsome on console. I've occasionally had isolated incidents of frames
dropping on console and there are a few loose ends with a VR support on PC with
the default helmet cam triggering a fever dream of Bath inducing double vision
of gender .thankfully this doesn't happen with the conventional cockpit view
and the VR experience is otherwise terrific once you switch to. It as nice as
this game looks though it honestly sounds even better my word the audio is good.
All the wines squeals clunks and violence of the cabinet of a real race car
plus those exhaust notes.
Project cars 2 players like a pumped up version of the classic take race driver
3 from 2006 addressing many of the complaints leveled at the original. The handling
has been tuned to a tee, the content is excellently curated and the amount of
variety and racing available in it is delightfully daunting. Even if you don't
care about the developers eSports aspirations there's still a mammoth solo
racer here it's always ready to roll whenever you are. when I'm out on track
reading 10 tenths out of my car against just the right AI level one eye on the
car ahead and the other on the clouds above this is often about
nearly
as good as real racing gets immediately

DIRT 4
2015's Dirt rally was codemasters easily remastered it and find
a very special thing. Dirt
4 is
the studio prying open the barn door and rediscovering the
entire car with a properly meaty career mode literally
endless racing because
of its procedurally generated stages and
therefore the best sounded visuals Codemasters has ever
mustered dirt 4 has redefined what we should always expect
from modern rally games.
The most amazing part of dirt-poor is its new custom stage creator which Codemasters
has dubbed your stage it's an incredibly simple tool to use. there are just two
sliders one for length and one for complexity that's it each of the five
locations you can choose offers very different terrain and demands different
things from us behind the wheel trackside detail is varied and the pace notes
are always accurate. in confront three over traffic you kept raised along bits
of the track itself nor can you push and pull certain sections around a
customized the end product but the impact of getting a
singular stage curated for each career
event and a bottomless supply of them at your fingertips outside of the career
mode can't
be understated. No more cheeky reverse stages or
repetitive share track sections your stage is a game-changer for rally games.
Until now codemasters ego engine games have always looked a little muted not dirt
4 the lighting is the best that's ever come out of code masters there were so
many little details I love too. The heat haze wafting off the wide starting straights
and stadium bass land rush events. Compacted dirt surfaces baking out of the
harsh Sun the leaf litter lining the unsealed back roads of Michigan churned up
and dancing in slip streams dark new mud being caked upon dry pale dust over
the course of several hits of a rallycross event the absurdly good water splash
effects. Then there's the sound which is brilliant blasting over Cal grid
sounds like the flip of a mini gun and the constant sweet sweet exhaust overrun
sounds like Satan half choking on a pistachio.
Don't fall has to physics modes simulation and gamer and leaderboards and
online challenges segregate the two simulation is my preference gamer takes away
the need to put weight over the front for turnin it feels a little too responsive
to me but having that option adds layers of accessibility to the experience
without ever crippling the serious rally sim at its core. Career mode is a big
step up from dirt rally 2 fleshing out the experience with team facilities and
upgrades to spend your money on it encourages you to build a personalized fleet
from the great mix of cars to thrash and trash. Delivery editor could use a
little more functionality also noteworthy is the official World rallycross
championship mode which returns from dirt rally with a few more tracks although
not all the tracks within
the world series
are included. It’s
such an excellent racing
format for video games though short tracks unique format and astonishingly
powerful cars going door to door. Is also the dirtfish rally school which is an
awesome open area used for joyriding testing rally lessons and some genuinely
fun time attack events and there's the return of dirt rallies regular community
events only this time it's with stages that are always new to everyone who
participates Plus competitive and custom multiplayer modes for lobbies of up to
8 but no split-screen.
Dirt 4 very much feels like a return to the good old days of the series of the
late 90s and early 2000s back then codemasters rally games with a yardstick
against which all other races with off-road aspirations were measured well
those days are back. Accessible yet hard and stained yet beautiful dirt 4 sets a
replacement standard in rally racing and it's well
considered career mode and endless stages injected with tremendous stamina
absolutely stonking brilliant.

F1 2017
F1 2017 may be a confident
and comprehensive racer that succeeds by embracing all of recent f1’s
syncretic regulations and baking them into an excellent sports
sim. It challenges us with volatile racing but rewards consistency patience and
strategy. It may not be the dramatic improvement that last year's installment was
over the disappointing f1 2015 but it iterates enough that it definitely usurps
f1 2016 as Codemasters is greatest f1 game to date.
This year's real-world Formula 1 season saw a massive shake-up in car
regulations and Codemasters has kept pace bringing all that extra girth grip
and speed to the new cars in f1 2017. On a steering wheel it's probably the
best false feedback I've ever felt in a codemasters game but even on a pad the
extra bite is noticeable. Also featured is a smattering of delightfully
distinctive retro rides from yesteryear with 12 extra f1 icons from five teams
included. Letter-sound fantastic but I don't know whether that's because
contemporary f1 cars sound like an angry blowfly try to escape from an upturned
bucket in comparison. Weaving these classic cars through series of Invitational
events is a clever and credible way of getting these old cars out on modern
circuits. But the limited greatest-hits style approach does result and a lot of
copies of the same car out on track whenever they're all that racing.
There are four new short tracks we can use in custom GPS and time trials but their
effect on the overall package isn't really seismic what's notable is all the
tracks appear more vibrant and realistic than ever and the D saturated tones
that have defined codemasters racing games for many years seem to have been
finally trashed. this is a really good-looking racing game from the neon glow
of Singapore's skyscrapers to the shiny wet asphalt of Albert Park off track
things are a little less impressive but my chief complaint here is that most of
these paddock and podium vignettes are recycled from f1 2015 and f1 2016 so they're
really stale at this stage.
Well Codemasters hasn't added Dan Ricardo's signature podium celebration it has
added some significant tweaks for the 10th season career experience. Which is
really heart lungs pancreas etc of this whole package the research and
development system has been drastically broadened with an RPG s development
tree that branches out across over a hundred individual upgrades. There are
plenty of long-term goals here for many seasons of racing. Reliability
throughout the season is also a real issue now we need to manage wear and
replace key components as necessary. There are also new practice programs in f1
2017 like fuel saving which requires coasting into corners later breaking and
early up shifts. If you perform well in this test you'd say will under fuel you
for the main race this will juice wait but you'll have to be driving with fuel
saving in mind or you will run out. The key side-effect of all this preparation
micromanagement and untracked unpredictability is satisfying drama. The order
that new engine part and copper hefty grid penalty what do you stick with a
worn one from your original allocation. Do you stay up for one more lap on a
set of nearly cooked intermediates once the track is mostly dried up to avoid
double stacking in the pits or do you play it safe and come in behind your
teammate. The one thing it could do with more of though is a motion like if
Codemasters wants the f1 series to sit alongside other sports seems like FIFA
or NBA 2k or MLB the show has to be a better way to tell you that you're world
champion than a text box.
F1 2017 isn't light years before
the already excellent f1 2016
but the new cars retro content and therefore the juiced
up career mode make a
robust case for the upgrade and that i really
appreciated the
improved force feedback on a wheel rich with details and
faithful to
only about everything that creates
contemporary f1 tick f1 2017 is about nearly
as good a simulation of one modern
motorsport as you'll
get.

FlatOut 4: Total Insanity
Flatout for total insanity didn't have to do much to be
better than the irredeemably dire flat-out 3 still new studio kiloton has done
a decent job here salvaging the comatose series sending it back into a
serviceable smash him up stunt racer.
kiloton is stuck to the plate out style guide here crafting a game that's very much
in step with the likes of the first two you know the good ones. The presentation
is inspired in almost every way by bugbears cult favorites from the style of
the menu screens to the colorful and busy stunts arena. It's basically the
stunt arena where flat-out 4 sticks closest to the series of spirit the arena
is full
of unpredictable driver tossing minigames like billiards,
beer pong, curling and more. I dig finished pins which demands both skill and
strategy to nail the
right score of exactly 25. I'm confused by the likes of
long jump however which features
a net at the top of the
landing zone and thus a maximum distance which will be
regularly reached and never beaten. You can both tackle these stunts solo
seeking to rule the leaderboards or hit them up and pass the controller couch multiplayer.
The race tracks themselves are reasonably reminiscent of those found in the old
games too debris field courses sneaking through forests factories cluttered
lumber yards a dusty red desert and frozen towns. The big problem with the
tracks is that none of a limited number of them available for each environment
really does enough to distinguish themselves from each other it didn't take
long at all until I was bored of seeing the same track or at least certain
shared portions of them every few races.
Flat 4’s arcade handily model is a bit light but mostly adequate though it's AI
is slightly less so. It's not so much that it's very aggressive this is a destruction
racer of course rather it's inconsistent on some occasions after becoming
embroiled in some bedlam on the start line I'd often find myself struggling to
catch the front runners despite putting in mistake-free laps. Other times I'd
get out ahead and gallop away winning by 10 seconds or more they are fairly
easily outfoxed and things like capture the flag too they can mount a reasonable
resistance and flat-out falls deathmatch and destruction derby games but I'm
not a huge fan of the way they play out. There it's superficial cars become virtual
missiles crunching and boosting through opponents like paper I mostly prefer last
flat-out custodian bugbears authentic and more realistic approach with its
similarly destruction centric racer rec fest even if that game has been in
steam early access for going on 400 years now.
My biggest disappointment was a flat out for is how rapidly I grew exhausted
with the career mode career mode is broken into three tiers beginning with the Derby
class where grids consist of rusty rolling wrecks. It didn't take long until is
laughing the same tracks in the same car to the same music. There are twists on
the racing like a beat the bomb distance challenge at a chaotic but acceptable
weapons based race called assault but it all became a grind quicker than I
figured it would I was reluctant to buy a second derby car because the payouts
are so meager. I concentrated on upgrading my initial car and saving a large
sum required for a car in the next class instead hoping for some fresh racing. Frustratingly
once I could purchase a car in the next class I discovered the next batch of
events is basically a rehash of the first tier only in a faster car with no
rust on it. Outside of career mode is flat-out mode a chain of individual
stunts and racing events it's basically a second career mode but it does a
better job of putting us in different cars more often. Flatout 4 locks tons
of its vehicles but doesn't strongly communicate the
circumstances which
will see them unlocked a purchasing career mode.
Flat-out for total insanity is best than I
feared but not nearly
as good as I'd hoped kilotonnes dredged. This near
forgotten racing rebel from the very low end of the barrel and designed it into
a simple but fun stunt filled speedster but I found myself usually frustrated with
its repetitive career mode it's dingy economy and nebulous unlockables its superficial
demolition derby events and its uneven difficulty.

Micro Machines World Series
You know those games that can not only recall the good old
days but actually bring you back there they don't not to exactly be master
classes in game design but they have a certain charm to them that bends those
pesky laws of time and space to bring you back to being that young child
playing with toys in the garden or kitchen or bedroom.
Micromachines World Series is that kind of game flawed deeply with charm
despite itself. I can't help but love the art design at imaginatively that
bring you into that feeling of being a kid again flipping your little cars
around the Attic workbench and setting them flying down the stairs or into each
other. There’s a childish cohesion to the chaos and that's where the game
shines the most. World series takes the shape of a top-down
racer mimicking the
point of view that you simply have
twiddling
with the physical toys they need all
the control of a toy car too which is to mention not much in
contrast of mantis bird racing which nailed the control that lacked almost
everything else. Micro Machines World Series feels
slippery and such
as you never quite have full control you'll point
yourself round
the 10 tracks or 15 battle maps and love the fun and
varied locations but frequently I became frustrated when I didn't nail a turn
quite like I felt I should have watching other cars rocket ahead of me. there
is no singleplayer championship to speak of in world series instead going all
in on the online modes of play.
Micro Machines world series does smartly keep you
from waiting in the menu too long by filling out slots in any game type with BOTS
should no humans be around and can drop some in mid match as they join. The
BOTS could
be a touch too smart with
no choice
to change the problem they
appear to be ready to stick
pretty on
the brink of the racing line and have almost perfectly sharp
aim with the weapons. Playing with other people such as the colleague I had cohered
into this with me does mitigate the problem somewhat as they'll also be
fighting the controls of various degrees. Bringing the game more in line with
the casuals 18s that is aiming for. Racing rather courses plays a lot like a
Mario Kart where you'll do your best to stick to the best racing line while
dodging and using a handful of fun nerf branded items just Gatling guns and
squeaky hammers. Shortcuts can be found on each track though items play no part
in accessing them so once found they really just become the de-facto method of
racing.
Battle mode shares the same inventive location designs such as a garden
or the drone workbench and opens them up to white flowing arena with multiple
paths and shortcuts second logic key points. There are team deathmatch king of
the hill and bomb delivery modes which all change up the game in a few ways. Instead
of relying on the same items the 12 different vehicles they're all outfitted
with different loadouts including an ultimate earned by completing the goal and
destroying enemies. this does allow each vehicle to take into its own niche the
ambulance is the healer the tank is the tank the hot rod is the quick damage
dealer etc. unfortunately the same control issues hamper the otherwise
excellent battle experience way too much. The quick movement that the battle
mode asks for you to dodge enemy fire or quickly spin around to the objective
or catch the moving bridge just isn't a possibility and the struggle makes the
entire mode more frustrating than it needs to be.
What is there to earn from
participating in the online only shenanigans beyond the fun of seeing the different
arenas and their environmental hazards such as The Hungry Hungry Hippos board
you'll level up for what bragging rights might be their in-game currency and of
course loot box because they're the new scourge of gaming in 2017. All of this
to facilitate cosmetic changes you can apply to the 12th playable vehicles in the
game which is fine in and of it but doesn't give the game an overarching sense
of progression like unlocking new racers. You’ll obtain everything World Series
has to offer within the first few hours. Micro Machines World Series has such creative

the little worth the game had unless you want to talk friends into buying this somehow
just know that when we did that it wasn't much fun.
