Description: Racing game where you will be able to drive on mini tracks full of leaps and obstacles with many vehicle models to choose from. In addition to desktop mode, you can play VR mode too. Enjoy driving in cartoon styled stages with toy-like cars on most tracks, you’ll drive on tables, chairs, bathtubs and many more daily life objects. Race against up to 3 opponents in versus mode, or just challenge a friend using split-screen. You’ll also be able to challenge yourself -or whoever you want- in Time Trial mode, where time is your only opponent. For a better experience, try VR mode and feel the speed on a closer level using its third-person camera, or change the view mode and observe everything just as if you were driving a remote control car in a model.
Review: Ever since the days of the classic ‘Micro Machines’ games I have enjoyed playing top-down racing games and I was looking forward to ‘MiniTracks’ coming out. The good news is this game is fun to play and looks pretty good. Sure, it’s not as playable as the classic ‘Micro Machines’ games but it’s still pretty good. With just 15 vehicles to choose from and 10 tracks to race on there isn’t a lot of content here (ignoring the multiplayer modes as there is no-one else playing this), but then again the game only costs £3.99 and for that price, I think this is well worth a look. Sure, there are better racers out there, but this one is retro and simple to play making ita fun little escape from all the VR shooters.
