The DS version was pretty good, but like most of the racing games by this developer, it had a little "jank" to it.
I really dig this developer (their name escapes me, atm), but the vehicle handling and physics in their games are often a bit too floaty for me. I felt GRID had some really odd collision issues on DS, too.
But yeah, definitely jazzed to give this a look.
Yeah, the collision mechanics were the only things that I really hated about TMDS, but I guess they've never really been that great in Trackmania in general, and to be fair, you're excepted to restart the track if you crash, since it's all about time trials.
QUOTE(Rayder @ May 9 2010, 07:45 PM) I hope in this one you can actually race against CPU opponents and not just for lap times or against ghost-cars or to just make it to the end of the track. That kind of killed the first one for me. 150 tracks sounds great, but they'll be kinda pointless if I have no CPU opponents to race against. I'd say the WiFi would be OK for racing, but we all know that will be full of cheaters 10 seconds after it releases. Besides, I'm kinda anti-social and don't play games online at all, so it needs to have a good single player experience where I can race the CPU or I'll lose interest in the game very quickly.
