****************************************************************************

Opening Side Remarks: I've played Micro Machines 2 for the computer and I 
loved it. I've never found it to buy it, but now it is on the N64. I was 
going to buy it, but then Nintendo Power said it sucked, so I must rent
it first...

****************************************************************************

Gameplay Description: This is a multiplayer Mayhem kind of game (Mario Party)
There is 7 different worlds, and every world has a number of tracks that 
is from 3 to 7. The tracks are very funny and hip. Getting into a "bridge" 
is almost impossible. It is very hard to keep yourself on the right track.
If you take a small shortcut, your car blows up and you start from where 
you left the track. There are so many tight corners and obstacles that are
amazingly hard to do, that it almost takes the fun away out of this witty game.
The Multiplayer is awesome. You can play with up to 8 players, no slowdown!
It takes a while to get over the bad stuff about this game, but it grows on
you. The overhead view is kind of dated somehow, but without it, there wouldn't
be any 8 people-multiplayer, which is a price that is worth it. When you 
finish one Challenge race in 1st place, you win a car that can be test-drived
in the options. 

Liked: Multi-player

Hated: Tracks are too tricky 

****************************************************************************

Graphics Description: The menu is pretty original. The characters are a pain
in the buttocks. They look lame enough for me to wish they weren't there. 
The details are great. The cars are pretty sweet lookin'. 

Liked: Details are detailed.

Hated: The characters

****************************************************************************

Sound Description: Good music. Great SFX. Horrible voices

Liked:Good music. Great SFX.

Hated:  Horrible voices

****************************************************************************

Play Control/ Game design: Of course, it is hard to drive a 1 inch boat, but
it just takes time. I expected more, but I didn't get it.

Liked: It isn't horrible.

Hated: It takes a while to get used to the controls.

****************************************************************************

Improve: Make tracks less tricky. Take out the characters. Take out the voices.

RIYL: Re-volt ( Will be released October 99)

****************************************************************************

Final Words: I just wish the tracks weren't so tricky. Dumb characters, 
witty tracks, detailed details, lots of tracks, different vehicles, 
average music, stupid voices. Now I just have to use the cheese as a ramp and
jump over the cereal box, but I'll have to watch out for that darn spoon..
