Micro Machines V4

Micro Machines V4 is the latest installment of this classic game based on Hasbro's miniature cars. Developed by Codemasters and released in 2006, Micro Machines V4 is one of the best games to play in multiplayer with your friends, as well as against the AI.

Micro Machines V4 lets you play with your keyboard or controller, which makes it easy to play with other players using the same computer. You can also create LAN games, so you can play with other networked computers or with friends, no matter where they are.

In total, Micro Machines V4 offers 750 different cars and more than 50 tracks. Each track has a different type of car that's available and, in some cases, you can get cars with different colors or even a different finish. A saved profile with all the cars and tracks already unlocked is included in the package that you download from the Internet. Each track has between one and four variants, so playing on the same map never gets old.

The gameplay on the maps is very similar. Each game is divided into rounds. To win a round, you need to gain a certain distance over your rivals. For completing each round, you'll get one point. If you manage to fill the entire bar, then you win. If there are three or four players in the game, the player who is farthest from the first player is eliminated if this minimum distance is reached.

To keep rival cars at bay, you can use tons of weapons that are available on each level and placed on top of your car. For example, you can shoot a ball of plasma, hit with a hammer, throw explosive dice, fire a machine gun, electrocute other cars, and much more.

To play Micro Machines V4 on recent versions of Windows, it's necessary to enable Windows Vista compatibility mode in the executable's compatibility settings.

In short, if you want to enjoy these miniature racing cars for hours and have a blast with your friends, downloading Micro Machines V4 is a great option.
