Micro Machines World Series Reviews
Micro Machines World Series simply doesn't offer enough to players to keep them invested beyond playing it as a party game.
This promised so much more than it delivered. It's a good game, but it's just not as good as its predecessors. Whilst Micro Machines World Series is good fun, it doesn't offer enough to elevate it to the status of its forefathers.
A failed effort to revive an old franchise that doesn't do anything particularly wrong but not delivering a compelling single player campaing.

The appeal of the Micro Machines franchise is lowered down by the lack of a championship mode and the few cars and tracks available. Everyone who was, after so many years, waiting for a great new game of the saga, will be left disappointed.

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?
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.
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.
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.
I could see this game being a great deal for what it is now for around $15, but you never know if they’ll drop the price or not.
Micro Machines World Series is a game that could have been great but squanders it all with bad controls and a push towards modes that aren't as fun as the racing mode should have been. Maybe if there were some gameplay patches and some more Hasbro themed style levels (Where's my G1 Transformers track guys?) that could make the game somewhat more interesting than the cheap cash in that we're left with today.
Micro Machines World Series is a funny pastime and it represents the perfect opportunity for younger players to discover a wonderful, historical franchise.

Micro Machines are back and Codemasters has now opened a new way for the series with the introduction of the competitive mode. With its unique style, the series is never growing old and this new game could be your perfect choice for the summer.

Overall, it's a pick up and play game, with great user friendly controls, fun, addictive gameplay, witty one liners and carnage, it's easy for any kind of player to pick up the controller and have some good fun, it won't last forever as repetition is the game's biggest shortcoming but it's definitely fun and replayable, a great time killer or stress relief. The game's value is great too, at $49.95 it's priced well for the level of content and fun I found and had playing this game.
Micro Machines World Series is a great buy for anyone who enjoyed prior entries in the series or simply wants a great racing game that the whole family can enjoy.
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.
Micro Machines' return sits in the shadow of its superior predecessor.
