It's a massive return for miniature mayhem – Micro Machines V4 PC demo now available

Be the first to take Micro Machines V4 for a test drive and experience its incredible mix of miniature mayhem and maximum multiplayer racing with the PC playable demo, available now www.codemasters.co.uk/micromachines> (in Downloads)

Micro Machines V4 brings back the series' much-loved breakneck micro racing gameplay in all its glory and launches Friday, June 30th for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, the PSP system and PC with a Nintendo DS edition to follow

The PC demo lets up to four players duke it out on three outrageous tracks; around the kitchen, on the rooftops and inside the chicken coop. Players can get in some single-player practice as well with Quick Battle races against AI opponents.

The Kitchen Capers track has players belting around the kitchen counters, racing over scorching stovetops and leaping from the countertops to an ironing board. Players should beware the soapy lake that is the kitchen sink and use the floating sponge as an improvised raft to avoid a watery grave.

Then it's outside to the chicken coop in the Pecking Peril race, which holds the horrors of seemingly giant chickens that try to peck the wheels off the tiny racers. Get past them and there are still their boulder-like eggs to dodge as they come tumbling like a landslide.

Finally, roar around the roof in Rooftop Rumble, racing down drainpipes and catching the updraft from an air vent. Collect weapon power-ups and let loose a fury with machine guns, missiles, electric-shockers and more!

Be first off the starting grid and download the new PC demo and check the latest videos, available now at www.codemasters.co.uk/micromachines
