Really good, but please consider updating more often?
Also, really good selection of cars and game functions!
I RECCOMEND IT
IT IS AWESOME
:D

You only can love this game. Or you WILL love it...
Highly recommended. If you want a little competition with people around the World.

Um clássico dos jogos de PC, se você conhece desde os primeiros, não se decepcionará com esse. Uma pena que o multiplayer já não é mais ativo como antes.

As pistas que contém no jogo unem todas as classes contidas nos jogos anteriores a este que foram TrackMania e TrackMania Sunrise, foi o último jogo da série antes da desenvolvedora responsável ser comprada pela Ubisoft.

solid racing game

Initial impressions:

+ A near infinite replayability
+ A relaxed atmosphere
+/- Racing is time trial (which I prefer)
- Poor options interface
- Too much (useless?) info on screen
- Makes me feel stupid because finding and reaching the end of a track seems to require a f**king miracle, while some people seem to navigate the tracks like it's nothing.

Great game
Fluid controls
Never lags a single tick
Awesome track editor plus endless tracks online

Key binding could be better, it doesn't recognize my triggers on xbox 360 controller

This game isn't a racing game as all others. Trackmania have its own things that makes it a special racing game - the physics for time attacking.
You can ride with cars over nice maps build by Nadeo, or a community on 7 different environments. Collect medals by improving your time. Chase your friends to see who's better driver. Build your own maps and share your maps with others, for example on tm-exchange.com. There's a lot of stuff you can do related to cars.
True, you can do all of this in Nations, but United is another big expirience of driving with different cars and enjoying their unique environments. Please don't waste your money on this game because of Coppers support, it's stupid.

Now my review:

Gameplay (6 points max):
There are no car collisions, which is the biggest thing that makes this a time attacking game. Simple to understand, drive from start to finish in a fastest time, or drive multiple laps on multilap track. That's all you need to know. Car physics itself are REALLY good. 7 enviroments with different cars means 7 different car physics. The car react just as you press the key and it's possible to understand how the car works. Obviously you need to play for some time to be good at driving. Hard to tell if it's good idea to spend some months to skill yourself for such a dead game, because there are no competitions atm, but you can still rank up in official rankings of Solo tracks.
Because cars are sometimes buggy and time attack can result some unlucky moments, I'm rating it 5.5/6.

Graphics (3 points max):
Graphics. They're old for sure, but quite good on it's release date. Anyways it isnt really close to today game's graphics. When you look at the game, it's a game where environment (not gameplay environment) really matters.
Hard to decide, but I'm rating it 1.75/3.

Atmosphere (1 point max):
This game has it's own atmosphere, like most of the games. But this one brings memories of older games like 2004-2008 - their graphics bugs, simple design, gameplay. If you played older versions of Trackmania like Sunrise or Original, then you'll understand the feeling. :D Anyway I think it deserves clean 1 point. It isn't messy game with all kinds of things that don't fit together.

So my rating is (5.5 + 1.75 + 1): 8.25/10
I'll say it simply, this game is awesome. This rating comparing to today game's is very very good on 2008 game.

Community is very VERY friendly. Trackmania has one of the friendliest communities ever. From my expirience, I have no doubt of that. :D United community is dying (actually it's pretty dead now), but you can still meet some players around the servers and things.

You want to decide if to buy this game for 30 bucks or stay at Nations. It's simple: Do you want to try something new in a game you know? For myself I really enjoyed playing all of these enviroments and I'm still enjoying that! But if you're not really into trying other 6 environments for this amount of money (I understand, it's a lot), then don't go for it.

Overall I of course recommend this game. Absolutely no doubts about that. If you're trying to find a solid multienviromental racing game rather for singleplayer purposes, this can be a good choice for you. :)

A racer in the purest sense of the word. I bought this game directly from Nadeo years ago.

I tried to get online the other day with this version and wasn't able to connect, but I assume that's temporary downtime. I am yet to try since then. Regardless, this game is awesome alone or with other people if you like racing. You can build your own tracks, too.

It's legendary in its own right.

A great racing game for gamers with low performance computers/craptops
This game has a good few years already and it's still widely played by gamers to this day, clearly the game devs got something right.
If you have played any trackmania game before you know what to expect from this one.
The great thing in this game is the customization of cars that is supported online (meaning others can see your custom car whilst competing online) as well as the track editor.
As the name of the game sugests, "trackmania" is all about the tracks, and boy do they have a lot to offer.
From normal tracks to absolutely batshit insane off the wall tracks that will peel the skin off your face.
The controls are insanely simple, just the arrow keys, the backspace/enter to reset track. That's it, that's all you need to know to be able to play this game.
Each type of track is absolutely unique along with the cars that come with it, each car controls completely different so you will find that some are just for you whilst others might seem difficult to master.
Of course the game does have some issues, just like any other game.
The first issue (albeit not a big one) is the sheer amount of information given to you in the online menu screens... there is a TON of stuff and it takes a while to figure out what is what, there are at least 5 different rankings showing at one time then there's all the other stuff going on. It's confusing at first but eventually it starts to make sense, this was one game where I would have wanted an instruction manual to go with it.
Another issue is the online community.
No, they're not jerks, the issue here is that there are a lot of players online... but exclusively on the stadium tracks (the formula 1 tracks) and if you like playing with the f1 cars then that's great for you but if you like playing with other cars on other tracks you will find it very difficult to find a server with other people on it (there are a few but they have a minimum skill requirement so if you've just started the game then they're off-limits to you)

Overall, this game is great, simple to pick up and play on the go, it suppoerts local coop and it also has a system where you take turns doing a lap and the one with the shortest time wins, but if you prefer head to head racing you can always make a local lan game with your friends who have the game.
Your friends don't have the game? no problem, Trackmania nations is essentially a free demo of this game, it contains exclusively the stadium tracks (this explains why everyone is always on the stadium tracks online) and it supports online play, so fire up that game and the demos and have fun.

8/10 due to those few issues

good :D
