Ubisoft's having a rather busy start to 2016, and its latest title – TrackMania Turbo – is the focus of our attention in another livestream. Watch on as we rack up some Gold Medals in the arcade racer. And, as always, don't worry if you can't catch us live – the archived video will be saved above for your viewing pleasure.

@Grawlog Thanks! We're loving it as well. Hopefully the audience for these streams will continue to grow.
I'm into arcade racers so might give this a go. Looks pretty cool...
Game looks ok with some decent graphics but would only buy it for £15
I was looking forward to this but after having played the beta/demo I'm not sold. The cars just handle weirdly. It feels like they weigh nothing. There's no sense of inertia so even when you do a really long drift it doesn't feel satisfying. Honestly, with the physics they use for the cars it would make more sense for the game to be a Wipe0ut style hover car racer.
Also, there's a lot of stunt sections and jumps but they don't feel exciting or visceral. There's no feeling of a big "thunk" when you hit the ground after a big jump or any sense that you have to keep a lightning pace while doing a loop to loop lest you fall of the face of the track.
If you're a time trials nut and really love to keep going for a best time the game might be of interest but for those who want what the game looks like at a glance you might be disappointed.
it's a great game to play. Especially for anyone who just likes racing. The load times and time between races is so small you can just about get a drink refill between them. I was glued to my seat due to the quickness of getting another races going.
I gave offline and online a good run thru on the beta and where the racing style is maybe a bit too frantic for me truth be told it is otherwise a very solid well built racer.
Keeping your rating/ranking updated with everyone else racing in your country etc is a nice wee touch as even when you wish to give up playing for the moment you find yourself going just one more race and see how my ratings fair then. lol a solid 8/10 racer just a bit frantic for me. Visuals are extremely nice also and with the make your own track options the replay value is definately there.
@MetalGear_Yoshi That's what Trackmania was always about for all its 6+ games.
It's a Wipeout with wheels and completely different handlings for each environment and infinite content made by the community, which is why this game isn't recommended for consoles, but PC.
