Micro Machines V3 Description
Micro Machines V3, released on PC and GBA, is the third full-fledged version of the popular series of arcade races developed by Codemasters Software.
Mechanics
Like previous games in the series, players drive toy vehicles (car, boat, and tank), competing with artificial intelligence or live opponents. The tracks, full of twists and turns, go through a variety of rooms and feature everyday items like lamps, books, electrical cables, food.
Game modes
The game offers several game modes. Those for a single-player are called Challenge and VS. The first is a series of three tournaments with four vehicles. In the second, we race a single opponent, and the winner is determined by the number of collected points. Multi-player modes include races for up to four participants, team competitions and party mode.
Technical aspects
The visuals of Micro Machines V3 stand out from the previous entries of the series because the game uses 3D graphics. The quality of the vehicle models and the environment leaves a lot to be desired, which, however, can be explained by the fact that the series originated on the consoles.
