TrackMania is a successful series of arcade racing games for Windows, which include stunting with cars, track-building, elements from puzzle games, as well as elements testing the players' dexterity. It was developed by the French team Nadeo for the PC. Instead of following the usual trend of choosing a set car and track for playing in the game, the TrackMania games allow the player to create their own tracks using a simple "Block" process in the spirit of the 1985 game Racing Destruction Set and the 1990 Brøderbund release, Stunts.
In contrast with most other racing games, the TrackMania series lets the player race a track as many times as he/she wants, until time runs out. He/she can choose to respawn at any time possible, due to landing upside down, going off the track, or even just because the start did not go optimally. Although in multiplayer games multiple cars race on the same track, they cannot actually collide or otherwise influence each other.
On June 30, 2006 TrackMania United was announced. The game is basically all TrackMania games built into one game that includes all the environments from the earlier games, and, later, future instalments of the series. TrackMania United features a peer-to-peer system so players can more easily share custom content, and a unified ranking system. The engine has been updated to include a pre-lighting accelerated system, which is used in the most recent, Stadium environment. The new system allows for more realistic shadows on high end systems. The Stadium environment has double the amount of blocks featured in the free version, including for instance dirt paths, water, and indoor sections.
On November 9, 2006 Focus announced 10,000 copies of TrackMania United can be bought and pre-loaded online. These copies could be activated on November 16, 2006. The game can be bought in shops in France, Canada, Australia, Belgium, and the French-speaking part of Switzerland later in 2006, and February 23, 2007 in all other regions.
The game is available in the UK. It was made available in the US via download for 49.99 USD on March 23, 2007 and for 39.99 USD on April 17, 2007. As of September 7, 2007, the game is available for 29.95 USD.[2][3] It was made available for pre-order and pre-load on Steam on June 07, 2007 and was unlocked on June 14, 2007.
