Once your pals all head out for the night and it's just you and the game, you're probably better off leaving it alone. The computer opponents have the tracks memorized and rarely scoot off the track into oblivion, and you don't get the same exhilaration from creaming soulless, AI-controlled cars and trucks as you do when you're blasting wheels off your friend's mini-bus.
The many modes of play, both single and multiplayer, mix things up but come in styles you're well aware of: time trials, checkpoint races and regular lap races. Nothing too fancy, but all get the job done. Again, it's mostly the miniaturized charm of the courses and the variety of tiny cars you're racing that make v4 worth returning to - with three friends, of course.
