Trackmania

[Amplifier]

Official Website

TrackMania is a series of arcade racing games for Windows, Nintendo DS and Wii. It was developed by the French team Nadeo for the PC. Instead of following the usual trend of choosing a set car and track for playing in the game, the TrackMania games allow the player to create their own tracks using a "Block" process in the spirit of the 1985 game Racing Destruction Set and the 1990 Brøderbund release, Stunts.

In contrast with most other racing games, the TrackMania series lets the player race a track as many times as they want, until time runs out. They can choose to respawn at any time possible, due to landing upside down, going off the track or because the start did not go optimally. Although in multiplayer games multiple cars race on the same track, they cannot actually collide or otherwise influence each other.

Basically the coolest custom track ever made. It's hard, but not stupid or cheap about it. Wallriding is also the most awesome shit ever

It's a free game, that's really fun to play. There are a couple dozen tracks included with the game, and thousands more tracks that you can play on the hundreds of servers. There are thousands of people playing at any given time. A couple of us H!Psters have been playing together lately, so join in on the hot hot racing action!

Add bovell if you decide to download it.

WORST GAME EVER

^ Poor pika...

I downloaded the free version two years ago when I first got Steam, played the hell out of it for a while then kind of just stopped. The recent $10 sale got me playing again thanks to all the new environments, car types, and ability to install custom models available in the paid version. Running through cityscapes, deserts, and coastal towns with a Nissan GT-R is a lot more interesting than seeing the same F1 racer in the same stadium over and over again.

This website has all types of different cars (both real and fictional) and skins you can use for the game, as well as instructions for how to import them:

I just wish they had my car available.

I also just wanna say for the record that I HATE "smooth jumps" and wallrides that don't switch the camera to cockpit view. As interesting as many track designs can be, some are just way too damn demanding to be enjoyable.
