  • Summary: The high octane, free wheeling insanity that is Trackmania returns to PC CDROM. Trackmania Sunrise takes everything that made the original an instant online classic ? amazing speed, ultra competitive multiplayer races and easily accessible tools to create and distribute outrageous tracks ? and still manages to add more and more. New sports cars that burn up the highways at a breathtaking 400kph as they tear around gorgeous new environments including the beauty of the Pacific Coast. The most insane stunt blocks ever, send perilous track building to a whole new level with sweeping bends, winding tunnels and ramps designed to send you soaring. Two new play modes ? Platform and Crazy ? mean that even the most experienced of trackmaniacs will face a totally fresh racing experience. A new day has dawned? are you up for the challenge? [Digital Jesters] Expand

  1. Unlike most such games Sunrise is packed full of features and what you get with it--besides a unique solo experience--are tools to effortlessly create custom content and share it and enjoy it together with everyone else. It is less than a year old and the community has already made an incredible amount of tracks and vehicles, and Nadeo released a free expansion pack.
  2. Despite clumsy menus, the game itself looks utterly beautiful, and as the community grows, the game will expand and become more involved. [May 2005, p.98]
  3. It delivers racing thrills and the right amount of mental challenge, all wrapped up in a package that's inventive and - yes - easy on the eye.
  4. I'm honestly very excited to see what this team comes up with next, and hopeful that future title will have a little more polish to it. [July 2005, p.125]

    Tm Sunrise is superb! If you havent played it get the demo for a sample. Its basically a mix of burnout 3 speed and the fun of the old classic Stunt Car racer. The community support is superb offering new cars,skins and huge amount of exellent tracks. The track editor is also amazing. Can you tell I like this game :-D Expand

    Sumptuous graphical style, brilliantly tuned arcade racing, and some truly unique gameplay modes. Nadeo really hit the nail on the head with this one (and managed it again with their *free* follow up, Trackmania Nations). Sheer, unadulterated fun as both a single- and multi-player experience, and easily the most addictive experience I've had in years. Expand
