Fans of micro racing gameplay can have the chance to take Micro Machines V4 for a test drive with the PC playable demo now available for download. This is just the right time to experience miniature mayhem and maximum multiplayer racing before the game ships on June 27 for the PS2. The PSP, PC, and DS editions will soon follow.

The PC demo lets up to four players race on three outrageous tracks: around the kitchen at 'Kitchen Caper'; on the rooftops at 'Rooftop Rumble'; and inside the chicken coop at the 'Peking Peril Race' . If you want to practice your miniature driving skills, you can do so with the single-payer mode, or challenge AI opponents in Quick Battle races.

Micro Machines v4 is loaded with explosive weapon power-ups that can be used against opponents while racing. The game brings back the classic missiles and bombs and at the same time introducing new ones to attack with, including flamethrowers, plasma guns, heat-seeking missiles, and the threatening car-mounted giant hammer!

Be one of the first racers off the starting grid and download the new PC demo at Codemasters website, and while you're at it, check the latest videos too.
