    For racers who live for direct competition, the time trial focus of TM might be too off-putting. Otherwise, this is simply one of the most entertaining arcade racers on the market for both experienced and more casual gamers.

    TrackMania Turbo is a game I enjoyed more the more I played it, with the tracks growing more difficult and complex as I became more skilled. This game can pack more adrenaline into a single sitting than other racing series can pull off in an entire game. Unfortunately, it takes a few wrong turns, displaying more than its fair share of odd omissions, additions and design choices that take away from the fun.

    It's got the speed, but not the finesse. [Issue#174, p.74]

    While playing Trackmania Turbo, the same two words kept cropping up -- missed potential. The game does have some very creative tracks, and the trackcreator is a fun mode if you want to simply mess about and see what happens, but a lot of the game takes some unexciting turns.

Similar to games like Trials, Trackmania relies on a Bronze/Silver/Gold medal system to progress onwards toward bigger and badder tracks. Bronze is usually attainable enough to achieve in 1-2 run-throughs, which is great for pick up and play sessions or more casual players, but the real meat and potatoes of the game revolves around playing the same maps again and again to improve and go for the gold. However, unlike Trials, each race series is restricted to one type of car so you can't refine your approach or adjust based on your driving style. Rather, you're forced to master that particular car on that particular track to get the most out of your experience. That might be appealing to some, but with only four cars and not a whole lot of customization options there wasn't enough here to keep me interested enough to bother with a particular track again once I had already medaled and moved on. The lack of a real online multiplayer component is also a bit of a letdown, but the inclusion of the two driver mode makes for some pretty fun couch co-op experiences. Visually, Trackmania Turbo succeeds in feeling like a throwback arcade racer with lots of bright color palates and highly stylized signage throughout each course. Unfortunately this didn't translate as well to the create-a-track mode, but someone with better design skills could probably compensate. Overall, I would definitely recommend TT to arcade racing fans, perfectionists, and high-score junkies alike. For those of us that fall in between, it makes for a good weekend rental but not much else.… Full Review »
