Yes, the first Trackmania DS was hard to get into, what with its wonky controls and fall-through-the-track game glitches. But Trackmania Turbo is what the first one SHOULD have been. There is a HUGE improvement to EVERY aspect of the gameplay is this version. If you haven't already checked out the (E) version released long ago, you owe it to yourself to give this a go. Better control, better speed, more custom track storage, more pre-built tracks and better multiplayer than the first one.
