TrackMania

Review by Playa One

"Trackmania is great!"

Trackmania is a gr8 game. Tons of features and endless possibilities. After you get thru all the tracks that you get from the game, you can make your own or race tracks created by others. I like the puzzle part too. You solve the challenge with the track parts and then after the puzzle is solved, you get to race on the solution track you just created. The phantom racer is a cool feature. It is the best time of the track and you can see how you're doing based on whether you're beating it or not. Trackmania rocks to high heaven.
Not your ordinary racing game. You have complete control over the way the tracks are assembled. It's like owning hot wheel track with like a million pieces. And then having access to everyone else's hot wheel racing sets too because you can share the tracks with others and try to beat their times.
I found myself scouring the net at night to find tracks to beat. The online feature just opens up so much capability and dimension to the game it is amazing
Easy controls, quick to learn, and addictive game play. The graphics and sound are not as realistic as some of the games out there now, but wait until you play it a couple of rounds. I guarantee you can't stop. It has a unique aspect about the game where you can build and share tracks with others so you get infinite possibilities. This is actually the strongest part of the game. And you should see some of the tracks out there. The track editor is quick and easy. And if you want a change of pace, then bring up the puzzle part of the game. You have to connect the starting point to the finish line while crossing various checkpoints with the pieces of track you get. Not as simple as it sounds. I'm not usually a puzzle game player but this is different because you can race on the solution after you solve it.
All my rambling, just try the game...
