____________________

The large majority of videogames fall into well defined genres such as First Person Shooters, Flight Simulations or Role Playing Games. But there will always be exceptions that simply can’t be classified, instead creating their own unique niche in the market. One such game is French developed Trackmania, which was originally released almost four years ago and became an instant fan favorite. To understand how much of a success this series has turned out to be, a quick search for Trackmania on YouTube will display an impressive amount of community created videos, like the spectacular and mesmerizing 1K Project. In fact, these fervent guys haven’t just stopped at videos, creating thousands of tracks and car models too, showing their zealous adoration for the franchise.

Nice review, how would you compare this to Flatout 2 as far as the fun level goes

Well both games are really different but I find Trackmania more fun in the long run. It's also constantly connceted to the community which makes it have a longer lasting appeal too but both games are a blast, though I have a sweet spot for Trackmania

It's a blast in MP, specially with your friends, but in SP it gets pretty boring fast.

Well MP is definately a blast but I found the SP enormously fun too... Hell I played SP for entire days without getting bored

Good review, how much is it?

Price wise? In Europe it ranges from 30 to 30€ which is, after a direct conversion about 45$... It's an averaged priced game.

Its a awesome game, I played TMO,TMS,TMN and TMU they are all vry fun but this one combines them all and adds a lot of new blocks to the the track editor. The online ranking is much better then in TMN so far there has been no cheaters figuring a way to boost there rankings like there was in TMN. Good Review!!
