Micro Machines: Mini Challenge Mayhem Reviews
Micro Machines: Mini Challenge Mayhem isn't too much about the mayhem and the speed and more about building the tracks and hitting good curbs. Still, it's worth checking out for its graphics and interesting puzzle elements!
By striving only for simplicity, Micro Machines: Mini Challenge Mayhem misses a prime opportunity to deliver that nostalgic miniature racing experience fans were hoping for in virtual reality
Micro Machines: Mini Challenge Mayhem lacks the excitement and creativity seen in its forebearers, with its slot car-style racing missing that special buzz that the series is known for. When I think of Micro Machines, I think of quick-paced racing action where I’m jostling with rival racers across imaginative miniature tracks full of hazards and real-world objects – unfortunately, this is nothing like that, with it instead feeling dull with its simplified approach to driving. It isn’t a complete disaster and it’ll definitely appeal to some players (especially youngsters who are unfamiliar with gaming), whilst the track builder is especially cool to use in mixed reality. Overall, though? It’s hard not to be disappointed in this underwhelming virtual reality revival of a classic racing series.
The biggest problem with Micro Machines: Mini Challenge Mayhem is that, despite featuring some interesting ideas, it feels incredibly tame, limited, and dated. It could have been the VR equivalent to Hot Wheels Unleashed or Re-Volt, but it ended up being nothing more than a slot car racing simulator with simplistic visuals and an overall lack of excitement.
