Micro Machines V4

The player controls a toy Micro Machines vehicle and drives it through a course. As in most games, the objective is to beat the other racers to the finish line. However, as in other games in the Micro Machines video game series, there is an alternate way to victory as well; in racing, the "screen" is shared amongst all racers (opposed to split screen), and if a player can drive far enough ahead of the other racer(s) so that they fall off out of the viewing area, they receive a point. If enough points are received or lost, the player will win or lose.

Upon winning races, new vehicles to race as are earned, with a total of 750 to be collected. As the game entails driving toy cars, the race course settings typically reflect that, with courses being set up on pool tables, around the edge of bathtubs, on furniture, or other household type settings.

Micro Machines V4 received "mixed or average" reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic Several review outlets noted that the game was competent, but that its poor graphics and shallow, unremarkable gameplay hindered the experience.

IGN gave the game a 7/10, stating that "Micro Machines V4 is definitely the strongest version to come along since the franchise debuted on the NES almost 20 years ago. A solidly-designed title aimed at young children and inexperienced gamers, V4 is a nice, entry-level piece of software that offers just enough challenge and variety for juveniles without the inevitable frustrations and complications found in most of today's racers". GameSpot gave the game a 5.5/10, while they praised the game to its number of cars to collect, they largely criticized the generic nature of the cars, the trial and error-based gameplay and poor camera view.
