Release Date: July 25, 2017
A racing game by the creators of Velocity and Coconut dodge, developed for PlayStation VR. In Tiny Trax you control toy cars and race on several wacky tracks in such locations as e.g. the jungle or a space station. The tracks are full of obstacles, ramps, and other elements. The cars are not bound by the laws of physics, as they can even ride up a wall.
Tiny Trax for PS4 is another game by FuturLab, known for e.g. Velocity and Coconut Dodge. This time the production was developed for the PlayStation VR headset.
The game is a dream come true for all toy car fans, who wanted their toys to break the laws of physics. The gameplay is similar to that in such productions as Micro Machines: World Series. You control tiny cars, racing your opponents to be the first one who crosses the finish line. The cars can accelerate using speed boosters, but to use them you first need to fill a special bar by drifting, which is not that difficult to do on the wacky tracks.
The tracks are the main attraction of the game; there are twelve of them to choose from. They are located in varied environments, e.g. in the jungle or on a space station. Each tracks has many features, from ramps, through paths running across walls, to icy caves or waterfalls.
You can play Tiny Trax for PS4 on your own, racing five AI-controlled opponents. There is also a multiplayer mode for three players, in which you fight for better results to display in the online ranking.
Tiny Tracks is a funny production with fitting cartoonish visuals. Moreover, thanks to the VR technology, you can feel as if you were watching the races from a spot just beside the track.

Game Ratings for Tiny Trax Video Game.
PlayStation LifeStyle: 7.5 / 10 by Tyler Treese
It's been a while since I've so thoroughly enjoyed a learning curve in a racing game. Tiny Trax hides a highly challenging racer behind its charming presentation, and I've enjoyed going from nearly being lapped to occasionally winning races. The only thing that really holds the game back is a lack of content and options, as there are only three cups of tracks to master, but FuturLab definitely has a winner in the gameplay department.
PS4Blog.net: 8.5 / 10
Overall, Tiny Trax is a pleasure to play. It's exciting, visually lovely, and frustrating but addictive. It's these qualities that make the difference between a mediocre game and a great game – and Tiny Trax is a GREAT game. If you have PlayStation VR, you buy it this one since its inexpensive and a lot of fun. See you on the trax!
FingerGuns: 6 / 10 by Paul Collett
Tiny Trax is a brilliant brilliant concept and FuturLab need to be commended on crafting such a wonderful Virtual World with tracks that are literally out of this world. The VR itself is comfortable, and you never seem to get tired eyes and definitely no motion sickness. Technically on that front it's top notch. It's just a shame that the gameplay itself falls short of its potential.
