    Incredible replay value. Instant casual multi-player racing. Brings the best of Playstation/Wipeout and Amiga/Stock Car racing to the PC. The game takes years of practice and skills to master but is just as rewarding and fun for newbies.

    Decent game! Could have been reallygreat, BUT it still comes with "starforce protection", even the steam version. The trouble I had in the past with that junk junk makes me furious enough to dislike the game for it. It's said to be less intrusive, but I just can't trust starforce.Theres only so much protection you can add without pissing off honest costumers.

    I don't like the fact that you cant do laps how can you call it trackmania when there is no real track, and you have to drive totally perfect to win, but levels are short but well done and visually pleasing. all in all a good waste of money :p

    Jos V. is exagerated, the starforce on steam's version is just code. It's not any of it that will install drivers, steam uses its own protection and doesn't need starforce. The game itself is brilliant. Just painting cars is exciting. The game is really worth getting. It's extremely customizable.

    Amazing graphics, physics, and variety of tracks keep this game interesting... until frustrated. Sure, it takes a bit of practice to master the VERY sensitive control of each car type. But you still feel just a bit unfilled in terms of a good racing game.

    WOW, try it with the 3d settings tuned on and a pair of paper 3d glasses you can get on the net or out of some magazine when they run a 3d issue. It blows me away! You don't need a special video card for the the 3d effects. More games should have done it this way.

    Racing games have always been my favorite genre. I've loved the Rally Cross series on the Playstation, the Need for Speed series on the PC, and I love Trackmania. Based on Stunts, my all-time favorite game from the 90's, this is far and above the best racing game I've ever played.

There are almost 200 tracks there, plus 100's more to download directly from the track selection menu - you can even d/l other people's ghosts and race against them.

    One of the best arcade-style racing games ever created. Seven types of cars for seven different tilesets, with tracks ranging from relatively mundane to completely outrageous. Online competition is inextricably linked to every game type, whether you're directly competing or just running time trials solo. And the graphics are fantastic. A truly wonderful game.

But I'm not going to fault the game just because I'm not that great at it. :) Definite 10/10, and the critic who gave it a 60 managed to miss the point altogether.

    So even if you run out of anything from the base game to play (which is unlikely), you can infinitely keep creating your own tracks or download the ones that others made to keep yourself invested for a long time.
