yes, silly americans have slotcars too...DarthTheufel said:Rayder said:But I guess I just don't like Trackmania games in general.
It's one of the mysteries of mankind: Trackmania is quite popular in Central Europe (France, Germany, Switzerland) but it's almost unknown in America. Maybe that has something to do with the sort of toys that where extremly popular in Europe some years ago.

HiroshiYamauchi said:I think this game does not look anything like the Rush series, aside from the fact that they are racing games. And i have to disagree with fudgenuts64, because, in my opinion, the best Rush game is by far Rush 2, from the Nintendo 64.

Guess I might pick just the gold ghost now, I thought I'd only get the gold medal, so I've been using all of the ghosts, thanks for that. I use a camera view where your behind the car, didn't know you could change view in this lol, anyway I always use that view in driving/racing games.Rayder said:One thing I have to say, it's definitely improved over the first Trackmania for DS, that's for sure. I've been trying to give the game a chance as I wait and hope a couple other of games get dumped. It's certainly fun to zip around the tracks, but it all seems so pointless to me when I have no opponents.....I just can't get past that. But as I play this game, I'm starting to understand why they used a "rally" racing style as opposed to having tangible opponents. The crazy tracks are a blast to fly through.
A good way to reduce lag in single player mode is to set only one ghost opponent....I usually just pick the gold level opponent. You'll still get the bronze or silver if you beat those times, you just won't see those cars on the track. It not only cuts down on lag, but also helps you with less distractions that can obscure your view.
What's the maximum number of tracks that can be created and saved?
What camera views do you guys prefer?
Just curious.....
