Do you remember the famous Trackmania Nations Forever? Well, if you are one of those players who knew how to spend good moments of entertainment with that proposal, you have to know that we also have the first installment of the title, which gave rise to this one. We are talking about Trackmania Nations, neither more nor less than the prequel to this car title that we can play online and in Multiplayer Mode .

Sometimes known simply as TmN, this game stands out for some specific issues that differentiate it from the next installment, endowed with many tracks and moves that have been added to its initial possibilities. We were surprised for bad to note that it is not available of the tracks we can enter an off-road type competition, although then, yes, there are the most common ones.

For the rest, Trackmania Nations has a very similar offer to its successor, considering that you will be involved in a series of races in which dozens of players compete, sometimes confusing everything. You'll have to drive your car as fast as possible if you want to get rid of your opponents, taking advantage of every strange movement of the vehicles.

One of the keys to the entertainment proposal made by the developers of this title is that you'll be able to choose whether you want to confront other people connected to the system or its artificial intelligence. If you decide to participate in the Online Mode, you will be able to take part in a sort of worldwide ranking in which you will be placed according to the scores you have obtained.

Then, of course, we can entertain ourselves with many circuits, each of which has particularities. Although in the beginning, there are already several among which we can choose, as we obtain victories, new ones will appear. Once you reach the finish line before your rivals, you will get all sorts of benefits that will pave the way for you once you reach the most challenging competition.

At the same time, driving is undoubtedly one of the critical elements when we think of racing cars, and in this case, we didn't want to fail to mention that we found it relatively easy to learn how to control the vehicle. This is not a matter that should be taken lightly, especially since, while it is true that the game is unrealistic at times, we will have a better chance of success if we drive well.

Returning to the almost inevitable comparison with the next installment of this game, we have to say that what we have missed most about TrackMania Nations Forever has undoubtedly been the map or circuit editor that its developers added. Although we noted the available tracks are not bad, and you can get others with our progress, we miss the possibility of generating our circuits.

And suppose you are worried about its consumption of system resources. In that case, we can tell you that you will have no problem running the game on practically any computer since its requirements are minimal. You will not notice any difference in your computer's performance when running it.

One last detail about TrackMania Nations that we didn't want to leave out is that we will need to create an account when starting the game in case we intend to participate online. In any circumstance, we recommend that you enjoy the game this way, even more than challenging its artificial intelligence, because this online variant is, in many cases, more fun.

If we have to highlight which aspects we liked the most about this game, we must highlight in the first instance that the graphics, very far from realism, make the whole scene entertaining and original. If we add to this that the music helps, that the spectacular movements can ruin the race or help us win it, and so on, we believe that it will keep you amused for a long time.

But what are the great strengths of this title that can also be framed within its weaknesses, considering that sometimes you would miss that some of the movements were more in line with realistic logic? Occasionally, we will have done our vehicle's controls precisely as necessary, yet the car will lose control completely.

In conclusion, in any case, it seems that TrackMania Nations is an excellent alternative entertainment for those players who want to participate in mass races in which not necessarily everything that happens can be real. Especially if you found TrackMania Nations Forever an enjoyable installment and don't know its prequel, we do not doubt that you should give this title a chance.
