TrackMania Turbo

9/10

Trackmania Turbo is a triumph. It nods back to console racers of yesteryear, provides speed, action, addictive gameplay, more than a few "wow!" moments and beyond the bundled 200 campaign courses, provides a potentially endless supply of content in the form of a robust track creation system. Should you clear the solo mode, you can take your car out into online play and you'll find a whole new world of fun and enjoyable events that all work flawlessly. Every corner has been rounded off and every surface has been polished here, and that's much to the developer's credit. Excellent stuff.

Nadeo have succeeded in turning people who normally wouldn’t care about breaking records on a track into drivers that do. Trackmania Turbo’s biggest strength comes from the restart button, located right on the front of the gamepad (or just above the directional keys if you are playing on a keyboard). You know when you’ve messed up and you can easily turn to the ‘just one more go’ button that allows you to start over again. It doesn’t take long before you end up hammering on that r...

A brilliant and beautiful stunt driving masterclass, Trackmania Turbo is fast, frenetic, fun, and only occasionally frustrating. If this generously proportioned and highly engaging arcade racer gets its talons into you the way it did me, it’ll have you compulsively chasing ghosts for ages.

One of the most unique racers of the last decade finally appears on the PlayStation and Xbox, and becomes arguably the best arcade racer on either system.

Trackmania Turbo’s high-octane eccentricity creates a highly addictive arcade racer that always leaves you feeling like just one more race.

Racing games have two extremes: casual and hardcore. One is not necessarily better than the other, but they tend to be distinct flavors. TrackMania Turbo somehow combines the two, appealing to both crowds. The gameplay is unmistakably arcadey but relatively tight, and the heart of the title is serious about shaving off every conceivable tenth of a second in pursuit of the best time. So where does that leave the rest of us in the middle?

The PS4 version of Trackmania Turbo  was primarily tested for the purpose of this review.

Aside from the multitude of tracks the game offers, paint jobs, decals and songs require gold standard driving to be unlocked. There is a tonne there that needs to be unlocked and it’s a shame that only the one paint job and decal is available from the start, considering the game is about customisation. It would be nice to be able to apply that frame of mind to the vehicle driven from the get go.In the end, Trackmania: Turbo is a beautiful game that tries to set itself apart from the pack. It’s definitely better than most, and it’s clear that Nadeo have become rather accustomed to making…
