    Very nice game , And It is free ! Otherwise if you need more than stadium maps you should buy United Forever.

    An awesome racing game! Really fun, and exaggerated physics make it all the more fun when you hit a jump and go flying!

    What nations did best was the online community making new tracks, but they were limited by the pieces they wanted to use. With so much more in the track editor, I can't wait to see what they'll come up with!

    Its has (again) stunning graphics and a very smooth gameplay. Now with a lot of new elements, like offroad tracks ... and the huge community its the best freeware racers out there and probably one of the best in general !

    I like the game because it has detailed statistics over your profile and because you're able to make your own maps, a simple ladder system with world rank and national rank and because it's a free game.

    Awesome game, I love the acrobatic tracks. What makes it better is that it's free! If you don't have this game yet, go download it!

    Excellent racing game, great multi player action. Rock solid software, very good graphics. A game no race can miss, and being freeware is hard to say no.

    Even though Nations is the free version of the game, it's still very good. You can customize your name and download car skins. There's a worldwide multiplayer that is very fun.

    When this game first came out it was like a whole new genre of racinggames, and it was free!? I mean, the possibilities were almost unlimited.

    After approximately 30 hours of insanity i decided to buy United. The experience only got even better, and this day today it's my third most played game with 500 ingame hours. Damn nice job Nadeo, and thanks to Ubisoft for publishing this game!
    And another huge bonus is the accomplishment you feel after melting your friends on a LAN server :D    … Expand

    The game gets old in a good way. The graphics are good, the mechanics are the same from Trackmania ESWC to this day. This fast-paced races are amazing, and the community is huuuge.
    The game is an ideal example of Easy To Learn, Hard To Master.

    Although this is a [insert years ago phrase here] it's still a fun time as this was my first Trackmania game and I adore the time trials gameplay and it's fast paced, it's sad how an amazing game get's slipped under the radar and hey it works on Windows 10 like a charm

    A genuinely fun arcade racing game. It does occasionally bug out, but for me, it's really uncommon, so it doesn't take much away from the experience. Overall, fun, well-handling arcade racing game.

    Trackmania Nations Forever is such a blast to play. Players can create their own tracks, share them online, and compete against each other for the fastest times. It's hard not to say no to a game like this since its free.

    This game, despite being free, feels like a paid game. The graphics are nice and not too heavy on your computer (As my potato can run it) and is loads of fun for speedrunners and track builders. You can use your creativity for both making and driving tracks, as there is always a shortcut to be found.

    I'm not a big fan of racing games until now..the game is free and just so much fun, especially multiplayer online. It takes me back to the original Wipeout on Playstation and reminds me of the insane tracks of Stunt Car Racer on Amiga but it's all up to date for 2008. For perfection in your driving, get an analog controller.

    Simple time trial racing game. This game does not strive for complexity or realism, but if you want a racing game you can just jump right in and start playing, this is great. The level designs are generally pretty good and it is actually very challenging to complete the entire game (some of the later levels feature crazy tracks). One of the best free to play games out there.

    This is a ludicrous amount of excellent fun to get for free, and in that price bracket, it automatically gains an extra point on the Out-Of-Ten-o-Meter.
