Trackmania Turbo Review "Buy, Wait for Sale, Rent, Never Touch?" 

Wait?A ubisoft game, without micro transactions, and has cheats? what is this 2008?

Glad some game designers still respect the fun factors in old games. Arcade-ish, fast, competitive fun WITH split-screen options can barely be found anymore. I think I'll buy

"B is the restart button, it's like putting explosive next to the forks" xDDDDD

4 player split-screen? SOLD!

I love the way you don't scream into the microphone with an annoying accent and let people decide to subscribe and like! :)

SPLIT SCREEN!? :D Okay, that's it. I'm buying.

PS Plus been holding it down

Mentions bronze, silver and gold medals. You do know theres a track master medal beyond gold that is extremely hard to get

I love games like this, we don't get enough of them anymore. Definitely buying this.

Bought the game, totally agree with this review.

Who's here because of PlayStation Plus?

Trackmania is one of those games that is simple, absurdly insane and require a lot of skills to master... no car setups, no "finish before the others". just simple and plain "go faster and crazier"... this is why this game has a ton of hardcore fans. it´s simple, insane and fast. and Turbo just got it right...

For anyone on the fence, maybe this is first time you heard of Trackmania or w/e.. Buy it. I bought my first ever TM a few years ago (stadium) then a couple hundred in game hours later ended up buying every single one before it. Such an underrated franchise, demands just as much respect as the top racers out right now like Dirt Rally, Project Cars, Assetto Corsa, etc. If you even kind of liked Trials, you will love this. I still remember the first time I joined a 64+ player server in Stadium, ghost cars just flying fuking everywhere, music blaring, almost screaming at you push harder and harder. And then, that magical moment (after dozens of hours of practice ofc) where you join another huge ass server.. and find yourself placing in the top 16 or so and seeing yourself on the ldr board at the end of the tracks time limit.. so fkin satisfying.

"like putting explosives next to a fucking kitchen fork" dude you rock! Fucking love it

30 hours later, and i still haven't beaten it. Unlocking the Black Series tracks takes forever... The game is truly difficult.

Best reviewer on RU-vid..Picking this up tomorrow.

As this was my first video from this channel, I have to say this was such a great review. Well written and well spoken. Great job man, excited to see more.

I love the Checkpoint voice, reminds me of playing 90's arcade racers as a kid.

You make the highest quality reviews on the internet.

I love it when racers have a track editor with sharing system in place. It means I can always jump on and play tracks I've never played before. Its basically endless free dlc.

A whole review on one breath. Unbelievable ;¬ )

I downloaded the demo of this on my ps4 a few days ago. What a relief to see that it still looked, smelled and tasted like the Trackmania I remember. Turns out you can port fun. Well done by the developers for getting it right, and by the community for never letting it fade.

A mad max reference? How did he know they’d be free on ps plus this month!?!

Hey guys good news, you can try out the free BETA on both Xbone and PS4. You just need to use a UPlay account.

did you try this in vr?

"because not everyone has a John Holmes sized pipe to the internet". You win the internet, Karak. Also, another great review.

Your review is incredibly spot on. I love this game but I can't tell you how many times I went to drift and found myself at the start.

its my first time coming across your channel, very enjoyable review, loved the comedy

As far as music: I like to play my own while playing this game. The thrills you get when you pull an amazing stunt while your favorite part of the song comes up is priceless. Medals - bronze, silver, gold... aren't you forgetting something? My biggest gripe - magnetic tracks automatically put you into first person/cockpit view and while I understand that this view helps you see more when it comes to looping tracks, it is really unsettling and difficult for me to control the car when I can't see the edges of it and whether or not they're about to touch a wall. I can attest to the high difficulty of the game. Some gold medals were easy to obtain, others took me 20 minutes of playing the same track over and over and over again until I got it right, and don't get me started on driving on sand - the controls are HORRIBLE on sand!

With no custom servers I don't see this being a success with long time TM players. That's disappointing. Everything else looks really good.

Just wanted to say after watching just 5 or so of your videos, my favourite game reviewer on RU-vid by a long way. Keep up the good work man! Subbed....

You're still not done after the Gold medal. There's the green Nadeo medals to collect after that. Good luck, you'll need it!

Honestly This Is A Great Review.

I also agree with this review. Funny video, I really loved this . I especially liked the way you showed the rest of thet race at the end . nice Job m8

Great review as always, can't wait to get this game.

HotSeat mode has been so much fun. Building a track and sitting there with my kids swapping the controller to see who is the fastest. For the price this is a must for anyone into racing games.

I have been a life long trackmania fan and I can't tell you how glad I am to hear that this is worth a buy

Holy crap you just reminded me of a game that was such a big part of my childhood and I completely forgot about it! Trackmania Sunrise, omg I spent so much time goofing around in that game as a kid. Thanks for a great fucking review and for reminding me of this awesome franchise, getting this for sure!

"You ain't gettin' shit back button", lol. Nice review, thanks.

I've never played a Trackmania game before but I'm keen to try this. The crazy tracks and the editor reminds of a pc game I used to play in the early nineties called Stunts.

This game, and the series, always reminds me of HSX: Hypersonic Extreme. Haven't played that in years, totally picking this up.

I just tried the Beta on PS4 and holy shit its crazy fun. So many hours flew by, and i was just gonna try it for a bit lol

Great review, I hope this game gets a lot of attention, it always feels like the series is on the edges of the mainstream. It deserves to be huge.

I cannot believe i've never heard of this series until I saw it's announcement during e3. basically, from this review, i got that trackmania is challenging, yet fun. sounds perfect for me.

Considering that some of these tracks shown were confusing the heck out of me - which way to turn? how sharply? oh nooooo a wall!!! - I gather this game will be like Trials for me: a steady grind to desperately recall where the track goes as I'm driving. I'm not sure I have that many fingernails to chew, hair left to lose, or vocal chords left to scream in frustration at it. But I'm sure I'll try. : ) Fun and engaging review.

You forgot about the "master" medal on every track, a lot harder to get than the gold. You have to beat the time of the maker of the track.

The best kind of arcade racing ever :D drifting at 450 kph like a boss :D

Dark Souls of racing. So it is slow, deliberate, and offers sparse, but immersive lore.

I love trackmania

I loved the replay comment, cracked me up! ACG you gotta be one of the best reviewers on RU-vid!

LOL "like putting explosives next to a kitchen fork". I'm 33, been playing racing games since Rad Racer on the NES, Gran Turismo 1-6, and Trackmania is my favorite of them all! Short, sweet, action packed, outstanding controls. Awesome review

"Thrust into the void because you missed a small notice that you should have taken a hairpin turn instead of flying off into the fucking unknown" Hell yeah just let that F bomb fly! I seriously subbed because of this LOL. Thanks for keeping it real!

I had forgotten all about Road Rash! thanks for reminding me of the fond memories.

Great review as always bruh!

Its in the PS4 Store for sale and its only €15,99 I think I cant just let this offer slip past :)

Your enthusiasm is fucking contagious, man! lol great review.

Don't forget about Trackmaster times in campaign. I don't know if they were added in an update or something, but it seems odd that someone could unlock every track without getting a single Trackmaster time.

guess he never trackmastered any of the tracks

I love your reviews. They are so eloquently spoken with great references. Also you back up your reasoning's for pros and cons of games with legit examples and are very unbiased. Keep up the great work!

love trackmania games. Will buy this for sure.

Just a heads up, Trackmania Turbo isn't the first jump onto console. Wii had a version of Trackmania in 2011. There was also a DS version. Unless you mean this gen. If so forget it.

As a car enthusiast I take these games very seriously. Thank you for the great review. I will definitely be picking this up!

This isn't the first Trackmania game on consoles, there was Trackmania: Build to Race for the Wii. It was really good, too!

Amazing review, man! As always! Just a question: I'm intending to buy it on PC, but I want to play on my TV with a xbox 360 wireless controller. Do you know if it is supported by the PC version?

Great game, great review. You just got a new sub.

I'm a huge fan of racing games and this game looks like a lot of fun. I've played most of games in the Trackmania series and this one looks like its the best one yet. Its easy to jump into Trackmania Turbo but its a whole new ball game when it comes to actually mastering the mechanics. On top of that, the game is crushingly difficult leaving next to no room for error. In that regard it reminds me of the Wipeout and F-Zero series. Games such as, Wipeout Pulse, Wipeout Pure, Wipeout 2048, F-Zero GX and the original F-Zero are extremely hard. However, when you finish first place in a race you feel that you earned that top spot because of how hard you had to work to get there. I will definitely be buying this game and for $40 its not a bad deal at all. Thanks for another solid video, keep it up and God bless!

Another thing to buy this game is that its going to be on Playstation VR! Which is one of the reasons I plan on buying it. I just hope the developers just add the ability to play it with VR through a Patch rather then reselling a VR version. After meeting the developers last E3 and seeing how chill they were I would assume it would be a added feature otherwise people would be very upset.

I don't know why, but on Xbox One the campaign mode locks all the tracks behind "X out of Y medals earned" counters so you're forced to play through literally every single track in a progressive fashion. I absolutely despise Valley and Lagoon, so being forced to play through every single track of them is brutal and a horrible idea. If you could actually choose which tracks you can play it'd be a 8 for me, but since I'm forced to play through tracks I'd rather see suffering in hell, it needs to be bumped down to a 3. Since each track sticks to only 2 or 3 songs out of the game's soundbank it gets repetitive and annoying after you've been mashing the B button for 50 minutes trying to steer twitchy balls of butter in a frying pan through an obstacle course at two hundred kilometres per hour. this is something you should know before you spend 50 bucks.

Awesome review. Informative and very entertaining. If you want to try this out there is a 3.4GB downloadable trial version on the XBone. I have spent the past 2 hours trying to get gold on the 5 campaign tracks in the trial. Very addictive.

This is free for Ps4 Plus this month. Absolutely love it. Used to be top 10 in Nations, and this one feels great.

Great review, but you might want to work a bit on your transitions from "graphics" to "sound" and so forth. Sometimes I didn't realize you were talking about a new subject, but that might just be me.

just wish they had AI and contact racing.

In the review you say : "gold is the top of the heat" and you dont mention the Trackmaster medal (green) what compares to the platinum in Trials. Didnt get one? :p But a great review ;)

you covered this game so thoroughly it's insane! im subbing for more expert reviews!

Let me ask you a serious question. Why did you decide to ditch the former name?

On double driver mode is really fun in my opinion. My mate and I have got gold on all of the 200+ tracks!

Your reviews are spot on man! Very professional and very enjoyable. Keep at it buddy!

After seeing this review, I'm definitely interested picking this game up. The racing game genre is one of my favorites genre to play, and it's nice to see that there are plenty of solid racing games this console generation. However, this game is going to bother completionists like crazy due to the desire getting a perfect run for each campaign event.

There are 3 secret local multiplayer modes

Karak, what are your thoughts on the online multiplayer ? I found the 'rooms' to be quite an odd system of pvp, at least from my expierence in the beta. Or am I missing the point of it ?

I really don't know what to do.To buy it on PS4 for the huge playerbase or to stay on PC for which I believe it will be dead like Trackmania Canyon or Valley,because of 3 reasons: Uplay haters,the lack of servers,and no custom music.On which platform will you buy the game? btw AWESOME review !!! subscribed to your channel ;)

Just came in to like.. ;) not my kinda game..but hey..whatever floats your boat ;)

Nice review :P, Every track mania game that has ever been should just be one game, but they all have the same princeliness game play. :) Keep it up.

This is free on xbox right now and I'm so glad you reviewed it! I will download it for sure

Did you play on PC with Gamepad or on XBOX1? Is there a Splitscreen on PC?

Short: This game looks fun, but my PC can't run it. Also, I can't find a gaming PC in stores with good enough hardware. I shouldn't buy it! Long and technical: My PC has a 1.6 GHz processor, when I need a 2.0 GHz (or faster) processor to run the game on my PC. I can upgrade the processor to a 1.9 GHz model (since that it the fastest I can find locally), but that still isn't sufficient to run the game. Also, my computer's BIOS will not by any means allow me to overclock the processor despite having adequate cooling systems inside and not being cluttered. My PC meets all other specifications required to play the game. I have also looked for gaming PCs at Best Buy; however, they do not have any gaming PCs that have a processor faster than 1.9 GHz or that's firmware allows the processor to be overclocked. The fastest Mac they have has a 1.3 GHz processor which is worse than the one that came with my PC that I bought in 2009. The fastest Windows 10 PC the store has contains an "underpowered" processor. Nadeo should not have made a game that nobody can even play!

game looks hella fun and its for free now on ps plus

ive never played trackmania but judging from the gameplay it looks like its right up my alley.Im going to buy it now

I'm kind of glad I watched this before picking it up now. I was big into Trackmania years ago on PC but without the same server quality im not sure its for me :( Also, first time watching a vid of yours and it was great :)

Good review! Pre-ordered for PC.

Can you race on other players' tracks that they created? or do you have to be their friend? Just curious because it would add a lot of longevity if I could go online and play a bunch of player made maps. Thanks and keep up the great videos!

It's on sale now for €15,99 instead of €34,99.

Hate to be that guy. But this game isn't for Linux, is it (unless it will implements Vulcan)? The only other game that has this style of game that I know of is Distance. But that's still on EA.

I have this game, I have been playing all night

Excellent review. Glad they went as far as they did with the local multiplayer.

Very good review! I might pick this up down the line :)

The beta is so much fun, im pre ordering

this game would be awesome if you could race other people. nice review!

Dude I've been following you for a long time and you're hilarious as hell. Please make a Twitch channel
