Trackmania is a racing game with all the fun of high speed cars and the madness of whacky tracks complete with loop the loops, corkscrews, massive jumps etc. It's very easy to pickup and play for just about any gamer and you can customise stuff from liveries with the ingame editor (or even your own regular paint program) through to creating you own tracks with the easy to use track editor. Looks great graphically and maintains good frames even on not so awesome PCs (like mine ^_^) and has an online component which doesn't necessarily need a high bandwith connection (though it has it's advantages).

Intergrated in the game whether solo or online, you can be ranked vs the world, your country or your buddies etc and it's all easy to access. But really you have to play it to get why it's so fun and with Trackmania Nations Forever a completely free game with over 100 000 tracks you are getting a pretty good deal. But if you still need further convincing, have a gander at this here nice video.

Trackmania Nations Forever

I believe you can also get it on Steam, for free of course ^_^.

Yes. In under 3 months I went from being a 360 owner to a PS3 owner. Idiotic? Maybe. Financial Stupidity? Definately. Do I care? No bloody way! :D

Does this have stupid amounts of DRM (like Starforce or something) or was that a previous entry in the series?

I suppose it doesn't matter since the Steam version wouldn't have that anyway.... would it?

Well I know the Steam version doesn't have it. I'm not really sure if the downloadable versions do or not. Mind you I have used several games with Starforce and haven't had a problem...

Trackmania, Trackmania Sunrise, Trackmania Nations and Trackmania United all have StarForce.

Nations doesn't have as much as the other TM's, but it's there.

With the Steam version, about 6 months after being released on it Starforce was removed. Not sure if it's the same with Nations.

Will look into the Steam version then. Otherwise I don't want their game, free or not.

Yeah, StarForce is a massive bitch with random attacks. It does like different things to all computers.

My old PC on xp with Starforce installed wouldn't read any DVD/CD's I put in, and on Vista the games just don't work. That's why I bought United on Steam :)
