Hey, it seems a funny idea.
And a french game, just everything to make me happy.

A demo of this game should be availble soon... I stay in touch and will give more infos when I'll have. :wink:

i dont like wipe out because its graphics are superb and the concept is DUMB.

trackmania seems a new wipe out: if only some concept like those of stunts fullfilled those one season games... then they would last more than ten seasons... like stunts.

But stunts is more than ten seasons... its eternal.

Wow! I downloaded Trackmania Nations and I can only say - for me, this is the best racing game of the 21st century!! (Remember, Stunts is 20th century:) The game was designed specially for this year's Electronic Sports World Cup, which will take place in Paris in June/July! The game has it all - inspired by Stunts, there are track editor, save replay, inspired by the simplicity of driving like Micromachines, speed of NFS, handling is the best one I have ever seen, you fall in love with the throttle, jumping, stunt elements, the Stadium athmosphere...You can also play against yourself (a transparent car appears on track and shows your best lap time and driving line), there are chechpoint which make it even more dynamic! But you can also play it multiplayer online! Make your own tracks, watch replays, enjoy... I just canceled my exam but I feel great! Try it!

Hey man, TMN is just a small part of what TM is. Feel the real TM power : try TMO or TMSX. I prefer TMO : more difficult to handle first, but much more fun and pleasure after. TMSX is more focused on speed (well, except Coast part), TMO is more focused on crazyness and fun.
TMN is just a big advertisement of TM games. But it may become a part of forthcoming TMP = TM Planet, with many new blocks and all the missing features (platform, survival or stunts modes, yes : a stunts mode is present in TMO and TMSX).
If you like TMN, you'll love TMSX and you will never forget TMO.

But they all do not made me forget good old Stunts.

[Mislav]

Wow, you are a real expert Krys! So many versions of TM, choices, adventures... what shell I do...the best I go study


Zak: I postponed my exam date for next week! But I'm also in hurry..I have to graduate till september, and some exams still wait for me...damn they!

P.S. There is only ONE and only Stunts in my heart on this Planet, like U2 already sung
"...one life, one love, one stunts...."

2 questions I'd like to ask: Are there any versions of Trackmania where you can play at the same time against each other (split screen) on one computer? And are the cars physical or can you drive through your opponent cars (that's cool:) Thanks in advance!

[Krys TOFF]

Sorry Mislav : no split screen option in any TM game.
2 players on same computer is possible but on "hot seat" mode.

No contact with opponents in TM. You race against time and others, but you can't push others off the road. This is a racing game, not Destruction Derby/Deat Rally/Carmaggedon-like as CrashDay is with weapons active. :-D
