It was another boring day. I was watching a program about games. Then I saw an item about Trackmania for the DS. Sure looked like good fun. But the whole problem is that I don't have a DS. A few minutes later I heard the game was released free for the PC too. That evening I was creating my own tracks and racing through the amazing world of trackmania.

First of all: I must tell you I didn't expect much of the game. It was free and free games aren't always that good. But from the moment I played my first race I just couldn't stop playing. I'm not a hardcore racer, so the arcade-style of this game was just right for me. I love impossible jumpings and loopings in race games. And if you like that too, this is just the game for you too!

So what's so good about it? The controls, the speed, the physics and the editor. Let me explain this;

The controls are very easy and feel natural. Everyone who has ever touched a keyboard will know how to steer and how to break. Easy and fun. But when you really want to have the fastest time on the track, you'll need to practise. And then you'll realise skill is needed too. Simply said: Easy to learn, harder to master.

The speed is amazing. The limit is about 700 mph and I really like such huge speeds. It is hard to reach this, but it is possible on the right tracks. And when you race through the maps with 400 mph you'll know this game is really good.

The physics combine the controls with the speed in a natural way. And that is wonderful because the speed is kind of unrealistic but the physics make it feel real.

The map editor is probably the most fun about this game. You can make every map you would ever like to make and that is just awesome!!!!
