Strong Points: Best graphics yet in a TrackMania title Easy to pick up and play, but very hard to master Massive online community Since this game is always about the times, all other player interaction is in the form of ghosts you cannot collide with another driver, but go right through them instead. And with the very powerful built-in modding tools that integrate with Steam Workshop, it is extremely unlikely that you will ever see the same map rotation twice. Hills, jumps, impossible loops – nothing is off limits here. And the tracks are not just your simple 'point A to point B' racetracks. You can also play online against the many thousands of other players at that moment. buyer beware.īeing a fully online community, it does more than just compare fastest times. Improving your times and rank can be amazingly fun and addictive. If that wasn't enough, you can also race against their ghosts, which gives you the opportunity to not just beat them, but see how they did it. The game is also broken down by nation, and state, so you can also see your rankings geographically, as well. The real draw isn't just beating the time - it's also beating the times of every other player on the planet. And to beat gold, you may have to replay it many, many times to get your technique just perfect to get there. These levels are crafted expertly, with each hundredth of a second playing an important role in getting the best times possible. This is much more difficult than it sounds. In single player mode, they try to beat the bronze, silver, or gold time that the game supplies them with. Players don't just race to try to get the best time. But despite the obvious simplicity, there is a lot more to it than may seem obvious at first glance. And that's it - you could play this game with a NES controller. If you press accelerate and brake simultaneously, you can drift. In pursuit of that goal, it strips the genre to its bare essentials: accelerate/brake, steer, and go. Unlike most racing games, this game has a refreshingly straightforward goal: get the best time.
