TM Sunrise eXtreme trailer

Cunning stunts from funning fans.

Nadeo's released a 62MB trailer for TrackMania Sunrise eXtreme, the free expansion pack for TM Sunrise that it plans to release next month.

The trailer's not your usual half-a-minute-of-logos-followed-by-cigarette-man-voiced-rendering though. Instead the developer enlisted the help of community stunt heavyweights to compile just over two minutes of (surprisingly well edited) "freestyling".

Nadeo points out that eagle-eyed viewers will be able to see some of the new block types available for use in eXtreme's level editor tool. We were too busy marvelling at the chaps sliding their cars' underbellies along a narrow ledge in a sort of automotive conga line.

In other words, it's worth checking out whether you're a fan or not. And if you haven't a clue what we're talking about, we can only suggest you investigate our TrackMania Sunrise review. It can be harsh on the player, TM, but it yields unimaginable delights into the bargain.
