5 stars (Original Track Mania meets PS2 drivability) - Excellent game, from the progression through levels to the track editor, the game is near perfect. My only complaint is the third type of vehicle is very undesirable, I've gone on line to race other people's tracks and no one is even using the third type. But the on line driving experience is even better with official rankings and the custom paint shop allows you to easily and endlessly customize your vehicle (Leopard skin my first choice). The speed and control are beyond impressive. Track Mania Sunrise is the perfect racing game with the ability to create the perfect track. The stunts and aerial effects are amazing with awesome camera effects during the jumps. Maybe next year they'll allow contact and collisions with on line racing. I'm not easily impressed and I own a dozen driving games including GT3, WRC, Test Drive, Need for Speed, and Midnight Club. Track Mania tops them all.
4 stars (trackmania) - I just bought this game last night after being a big fan of the first game and this version is much improved.The graphics are probably the most obvious difference from the previous game and the driving surfaces are more varied and detailed. The driving physics also are more responsive than the first and each type of car really handles in a unique way.It was a great game before and it looks to be even greater this time out.
5 stars (The Game Rules !!) - If this isn't the best racing game for the PC it is right up their with the best. Give it a try. Plenty of tracks and cars which can be downloaded on certain fan sites. |
