    Whether you are looking for a quality arcade race experience, challenging puzzles, an in-depth racetrack design tool, or all of the above, TrackMania is one game you won’t want to miss out on.
  2. Worth Playing

    Despite the game’s flaws – and it does have them – track building and racing is surprisingly fun and addictive. You might find yourself hooked. I was.

    A real shot in the arm for what is becoming a dull genre.

    From the great graphics, fun gameplay, and amazing concept, TrackMania provides a might punch in a small package.

    Refreshingly, cheating is often the best way to go. [Sept 2004, p.70]

    On the bright side, multiplayer has been designed to not require the fastest connection for smooth play, even on overseas servers. The cars handle quite well, the graphics are nice, and the physics seem good.

    What's worse than a mediocre piece of shareware? Answer: a $30 retail game that looks and plays like a mediocre piece of sharware. [Oct 2004, p.81]

    I've been playing to video games for 20 years, and never have I been so much addicted to one. Bought it last December in France, and I've been playing to video games for 20 years, and never have I been so much addicted to one. Bought it last December in France, and I've never stopped playing it since. The concept is totally original, and as someone else said, this game is a class of its own. There is nothing really that can compare to Trackmania. … Expand

    This game is pure fun. It's the modern day "Stunts". So far, it is unique and in a class all by itself. I think the review score of 74 This game is pure fun. It's the modern day "Stunts".

It's a relatively funTrackmania is a game that allows you to create your own track, test it out, and then race on it, share it or whatever. It's a relatively fun game, but the content that it offers really doesn't last long. The racing aspect of the game itself feels pretty weak, though, and pales hugely in comparison to a lot of other racing games. Creating tracks that you want are pretty cool, and the concept is great, but it feels like there could be more. In the end, its a fun game, but for me, it didn't last very long, due to limited content.… Expand
