Additional buttons are used to change the camera perspective, to open a chat menu or to display scores. The use of a game pad with an analog mini stick is recommended in order to be able to control more sensitively.

On speed courses, you test your speed of reaction with the help of acceleration fields and daring looping combinations, while acrobatics courses require a lot of tact with tricky jumps. The 65 stadium courses of the Nations Championship, which top everything that has been there so far, are particularly successful. In the fight against the clock or the multiplayer competition, it is your skill that counts, collisions with other cars also fail this time.īut don’t worry, because the 100 new courses require more than enough concentration even without sheet metal contact. The basic principle of Trackmania Nations remains untouched: With paintable cars, you can jet rollercoaster-like courses, with the editor you can create your own track designs in no time at all.

This discrepancy must drive the French developer Nadeo furious! Or to a new Trackmania.īecause what would happen if you brought all Trackmania fans together in one game? The answer is given by a project that is as logical as it is ambitious: Trackmania United Forever – equally freeware – like a full price game and also a free update. Only a few hundred thousand were interested in the commercial big brother Trackmania United. Even World of WarCraft turns orcish green with envy: the free e-sports racing game Trackmania Nations has been downloaded a whopping 30 million times since its release in winter 2006.
