TrackMania United - hands-on

We take another spin with the crazy-ass racer

We’ve noticed the track difficulty has been toned down from Sunrise (which was anything but noob-friendly), but the game still revels in making your life difficult with tricky landings and occasional slips in signposting. Hasty restarts enable you to start over quickly no matter how many times you screw up, which is very welcome in our eyes.

Besides all the maniacal racing you’ll be doing in United, you’ll get a daily allowance of coppers (your currency), alongside those that you earn, to spend on tracks and car skins within the community. All of which can be accessed through the game’s interface.

The game’s looking great this far along in the development cycle but we did have a few niggles with the camera, which kicks in on the more epic jumps and ramps. It looks pretty cool, but can also wreck your race mojo.

Put simply, this is shaping up to be the best package of one of the best semi-underground games available. We’ll have a review soon for TrackMania United in the coming weeks.
