TrackMania Nations - Today's Time Waster (Download Squad)

Feb 19th 2006 12:54PM Starforce should not prevent people for trying it. I've written a rant against Starforce maybe one week prior to discovering TMN.

Starforce doesn't installs itself with TM-N most of the time. And when it does, it's uninstalable and the game still runs (TM Nation).

My bet is that they have a deal with Starforce, as they have no particular reason to use anty piracy tools in a freely available game.

That being said, the first reason for wich people should give TMN a try is that it's really good.

It's very arcade oriented, makes a good use of both low and high end graphic cards, and reminds me of the plain fun i had with for exemple F-zero (see the F-0 track in TMN :) or with mario kart in time trial mode (i've spent nights on it).

It's also very fast paced and rather difficult. Right now, a fair amount of servers are up (like 400 maybe) and theres a lot of fun in racing versus 20 or even 60 adversaries. If you've read me up to there, you know that i'm having a blast (and i hope that many people will) :D
