If you had a Scalextric set as a kid, you’ll understand the appeal of Buzz! Junior Ace Racers. That’s not to say you’ll want to play it, mind you, because this game is pitche🎀d quite firmly at the sort of age group that’s only just learnt how to stop dribbling down their chins.

The game gives you a series of minigames to play, in multiplayer bouts against friends or the AI. Mostly made up of racing games – in planes, boats or cars – these are best described as Micro Machines without the steering wheel. That’s because the vehicles remain on invisible rails – you just control their speed with the big red button on the Buzz buzzers, and turbo boost with one of the other four buttons. A few other game types ༒add variety to the racing and, largely, these are quite good. It’s the racing ones that get boring and the stuck-record announcer is annoying too. Not bad for kids.
