Codemasters, the original developer of the Micro Machines games, has announced spiritual successor Toybox Turbos for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

The top-down arcade racer features 18 courses set across a number of household and school locations, from kitchen tables, science labs and railway sets.

Multiplayer is available for four people locally and online, and vehicles range from sports cars to a more comical array of ice cream vans, construction vehicles and milk floats.

Meanwhile, power-ups will feature prominently in competition, with mines, machine guns and the return of giant hammers.
