News PC

Limited run this month.

French publisher Focus Home has announced that TrackMania United - the latest release in the addictive series that mixes racing, puzzles and track design - will be released in America next February.

Which is technically a delay, since it had been due out in November. Buuuut, curiously, Focus is planning to sell 10,000 copies of the game online on 17th November as part of a "special early international release".

What peculiar people. It'll be the full game, too, with no limitations - other than the amount of people allowed to buy it. The TrackMania United page on Focus Home's website suggests it will cost EUR 39.99.

As the name suggests, TrackMania United is a sort of compilation game, featuring all the content from the previous titles as well as a new content editor and in-game browser, and a unified ranking system.

On top of that, the engine has also been updated to offer more realistic shadowing, and the TrackMania Nations environments will feature twice the amount of building blocks that featured in the original (free) Nations release.

One of the most under rated games ever. Now let's here hundreds of new people complaining about the lack of collision detection, thereby completely missig the point.

Not to be negative, but I'm assuming the StarForce dabbling has been nixed, right?

Most games seem to have ditched it by now.

This game is just awesome. Especially Sunrise which I like even more than its predecessor. (Maybe because it plays better with a steering wheel than the 1st one).

And yes, I guess a lot of people have been set up because of the lack of collision detection, which is sad, because that is what makes the game so great. It is much more competitive racing racing against practically ghosts because you can really focus on the perfect driving line.

If anyone from Nadeo reads this comment, could you please drop me an email (jonfe [at] smmnet [dot] com) ?

I'm having major problems with the original TrackMania I bought from Nadeo's store back in February, that still refuses to be played at all!!!

And before anyone asks, yes I tried emailing technical support, at no avail

However, I'm still interested in TM:U (as long as they got rid of SF). But before I part with my hard-earned, I need to sort out this TM issue.

Sunrise was good, but maybe more realistic handling would be nice

Eh? I think you've missed the point of the Trackmania games there, chap.

So, tell me, is this worth buying or should I get some earlier one from the bargain bin? And how crippling is the StarForce?

I love this game. Starforce is not much of a worry for me. I can't believe I gave away the origional version before playing it. It was only after playing Sunrise that I fell in love with the game.

Great Game !

Real fun at playing custom tracks submitted by others though they seem impossible sometimes. I surely need more training ! ^^
