Any ideas which games might be similar? Looking for something VERY simple to play, for two teenage girls that occasionally like to kick their old man off COD and take over the PS4!

Other game type recommendations welcome but simplicity is key...and age appropriate (12&14)!

Cheers

Whichever version of Crash Team Racing is on the PS4 should do the trick - it was basically a PS rip off of Mario Kart back in the day and was a very good one too.

This.

Was one of the best games on the PS, IMO.

Looks like you want "Crash Team racing - Nitro Fuelled".

Not quite the same but can you get Micro Machines for the PS4?

Used to love 8-player MicroMachines  on the PS One after a night on the sauce while at uni.

Beat me to it. We've been playing it this week on the Xbox, it's pretty much as close to MK* as they could be without being sued.

Multiplayer splitscreen is falling out of favour but Bomberman is a reliable staple. Most of the Lego games also.

(* - That's Mario Kart, not Mortal Kombat or Milton Keynes. Confusing the latter two is an easy mistake to make.)

Oh, and Bust-a-Move / Puzzle Bobble.

My PS4-owning tame petrolhead and father of three teenage girls suggests Codemasters F1 Superstars or Touring Karts.

He's added,

Away from kart racers....

Speedrunners. Overcooked. Gang beasts. Tricky towers.

They are our “go to” multiplayer games.

Already mentioned but Sonic All-stars is probably the best of the MK clones if it's available on the PS4.

Bubble Bobble 4 🙂

That's the theme tune stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

OK, I did not know that existed and now I need a Switch for Christmas.

That’s the theme tune stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

It used to be my mobile phone ringtone. Much to the chagrin on an office full of geeks.

Sackboy is pretty good for simple co-op fun.

Thanks all, ordered a Sonic Racing (All stars doesn't appear to be on ps4).

I have Nitro Fuelled and they like that but I'm crap at it. My memory of Mario Kart was of utter simplicity rather than rocket boosters and bombs everywhere!

Might just sneak Bubble Bobble onto my lad's Xmas list.

Not quite, but Codemasters have a legally safe option 😀

Toybox Turbos!
