this is not a sponsored review, i am doing this because i love games!

i’m not a fan of race games unless they are crazy. something with crazy tracks or insane crashes definitely catches my attention. lucas and i are always looking for games to play together (and i’m sure i’ve mentioned that previously) and i’m always looking for stuff i can play that i don’t have to buy (because i’m cheap :p) so i was pretty excited to try trackmania nations forever. this game is available on steam and yes it is completely free! its not just a crappy demo with a couple of tracks either. this game provides both multiplayer and solo tracks with full stats and even the ability to create your own tracks and host your own server if you are interested in that sort of thing.

the main appeal for me of this game was the insane track designs. not just a boring track where you turn left, or one with a few curves here and there. these tracks require a massive amount of skill as you try not to slam into sudden walls, fling your vehicle though the air and pray you land on the other side, and speed though upside down loops that can go on forever.

now while this is the main appeal its also the main thing that makes me stop playing the game. because I SUCK AT DRIVING! yes even though i do enjoy driving games that are crazy, i really don’t have the skill to play them, so i end up rage-quitting after only a few races.

barring that, i really did enjoy this game. i haven’t tried the track creation part of the game but i love when games give you the added bonus of an editor to play around in. there’s also the ability to mod your car (which i also need to do). the game is split up into different countries and areas on the map so you can compete with the entire world, or just people in your state, that part was very cool.

overall i say this game is pretty bad ass and i will continue to play it (and rage quit) for a while i’m sure.

you can check out trackmania nations forever on the steam website.
