Editorial Review: Micro Machines 64 Turbo puts you in control of those crazy little cars known as Micro Machines. The racetracks are all to scale: zoom across a packed kitchen table, or zip over the back of a ruler connecting one desk to another.
With up to 32 Micro Machines to be mastered, the game has fairly high replay value. Moreover, the designers have taken full advantage of the Nintendo 64's graphics ability to create beautifully rendered race courses. However, one major drawback is the viewing angle, which is from a floating camera focused on the immediate area around you. The viewing angle can be a bit disorienting and never seems to allow you to anticipate the next turn.
Invest in an extra controller for the entertainment value of the multiplayer option. Those gamers with no passion for racing should consider a different investment option, because this game is all about getting to the finish line first. --Hugh Arnold
Pros:
Great graphics
Fun multiplayer option
Great for the gamer who enjoys different setups for racing
Cons:
Annoying viewing angle

this game involves racing micro machines on built together tracks.an example would be a ruler which serves as a bridge gets your ride across a gap between tables.a huge jump from the table to a chalk drawn race course on the floor.these dagon things have no stick and will slide all over everwhere.there are boats,tanks,cars stuff like that.you win cars as you move along.
Rating: - Killer game!
I can definetely say that this game can sure provide one of the best multiplayer modes of all Nintendo 64 games. Unlike some people might have said, If you play this game with more than one friend, the race won't stop if another player disappears from the screen (that happens when a player gets behind you). One of the most challenging thing about this game is that, different from other general racing games, when your car is upside down on the screen, you'll have to drive it as if you were inside it. What the hell did I mean by that? If you want your car to go right on the screen, and it is upside down, you'll have to move the control stick right, right? Wrong. You'll have to move it left. That's what I meant by saying you'll have to drive as if you were reaaaally driving it. That is what makes this a though game and a very funny one too. I wouldn't rate this game 5 stars cuz it's really boring to play alone. It's like Mario Party. It's mostly a multiplayer game, so don't play this one if you live on a deserted island. Me and my friends spent hours playing this game and laughing a lot at each other. I really recoomend this one! Great fun!
Rating: - Fun, but simple
A very enjoyable game to play, but not very thought-provoking. Just good fun for a brain-dead day.

The idea of racing mico machines in a table, lab, garden or your desk is very cool. It too bad the game did not take advantage of it. Instead, you have a very dull game, with a very annoying multiplayer mode, where you can race for more tah 10 seconds without the race beeing stoped becase the other player dissapeared from the screen and... uh, never mind, just don buy the game.
Rating: - No
This game is way to hard to control. Simple graphics and a weak multiplayer also plaque this game. You might try renting it, but leave it at that.
