Micro Machines World Series Reviews
Micro Machines World Series doesn't deserve your money or your attention. It lacks any interesting content and the fun and magic of its predecessors. If you're looking for this particular genre, then much better option would be Toybox Turbos or older Micro Machines games. Sadly, this new instalment of the series is just a waste of time.

Micro Machines World Series sees the franchise attempt to make the move into the competitive online multiplayer scene. But rather than do so by leveraging its strengths and the gameplay modes series fans enjoy playing, Codemasters have focused on a dull game mode that feels out of place with the rest of the franchise.
Does Micro Machines World Series live up to its predecessors? Find out in our review!
Overall, this is a solid game that I, personally, will keep playing well past the date on this article. I’d highly recommend it for anyone who wants a couch or online co-op game to play with a few friends and talk some smack.
The only way you're going to get anything out of this turgid experience is if you're the CEO of Nerf.
World Series needs to fix its matchmaking, or give you singleplayer modes if it wants to be taken seriously.
With the driving mechanics being difficult to control and the artificial intelligence being cheap it can be hard to get into. The game modes are mostly not worth checking out with the exception of battle mode and sadly the online multiplayer is broken with hardly any players and poor servers
many veteran players of this series will feel let down by this latest instalment, and this is all down to the bare bones approach that the developers have taken by releasing this game with only 12 cars and 10 race tracks.
Back in 2014 we thought Toybox Turbos was the closest thing we'd get to a revitalised reboot of Micro Machines, so upon reflecting on the release of an actual brand new Micro Machines, is Toybox Turbos a better Micro Machines game than World Series? It may not have had the franchise name but it tried to be Micro Machines and succeeded, whereas World Series IS Micro Machines and it's sadly disappointing.
whether you’re playing on your own, with friends locally or online, Micro Machines World Series is a lot of fun and what more would you want from the series?
Micro Machines have been around for decades in one variation or another and Micro Machines World Series mostly disappoints in capturing the essence of the original release on NES. When the number of game options in a modern game feel like they aren’t much of an upgrade from an old NES game, you know there is a problem, which is the case with Micro Machines World Series.
Micro Machines World Series actually contains a great deal of enjoyable content but its lack of structure and dependence on a barren online community means that content mostly goes to waste.
Micro Machines World Series has a good variety of cars and tracks, and these tracks are the highlight of Micro Machines and even provides some fun for some time. Unfortunately, the inaccurate controls and the lack of content, game modes and an option to play the game offline even with other people, takes away much of the quality of this Micro Machines.

You'd be better off with Toybox Turbos from the same studio. It offers much more content and isn't filled with product placement. Forget about this strange Overwatch-on-wheels clone until devs decide to fix it.

At its core, Micro Machines World Series had the potential to be much more than it actually is. More modes, more options, and more cars could've made this into a much more formidable game.
Do this game again, but shift the focus so that everyone can enjoy it without relying on others being online, and then we'll talk.
Micro Machines World Series certainly has the capacity to entertain in short bursts, and particularly shines when played locally with a few mates, but its occasional performance issues, low budget sheen, and general lack of content ensures that it will be served more as a warm-up dish during a sociable gaming session, rather than the main course.
Micro Machines World Series is a decent racer with great callbacks to previous games in the series. It controls well and has a great battle mode while creating some really cool tracks.
Codemasters delivered a solid game that's a lot of fun to play. They used their experience in racing games, but not in the classic rally formula for which most gamers know them these days. With the game being mostly online, there won't be any race that's identical to the previous one, which makes up for some great replay value.
This revival of the miniature racer has a promising core, but poorly-handled multiplayer and a lack of replayability leave it sputtering on the starting grid. Micro Machines World Series might fulfill a night of local matches, but that's about the extent of its strengths.
