This does not technically comply to the letter of the PC Invasion “play to completion” review policy. Doing so involves getting a gold medal (or better, there’s one above gold) on each and every track, which is quite possibly beyond my skills as a driver.

That decision has removed some of Trackmania’s rougher edges and made Turbo a more approachable, ‘normal’ game but in doing so has somewhat sanitised or outright removed some of the anarchic aspects which catapulted the series to cult PC status.īefore exploring those changes in greater depth, I should note that Trackmania Turbo’s uncompromising (but admirably punishing) approach to track unlocks means I’ve not played and completed every single course in campaign mode. The developer has actually been reasonably up-front about the nature of the PC version, confirming on Steam that the reason for omissions like dedicated servers is because this one is “a console game ported to PC.” It’s probably fair to say, though, that this is more of a major push for that market. Trackmania Turbo is not the series’ first time on consoles (there was a Wii one). That particular game is also housed within the curious Maniaplanet front-end (Nadeo’s own Mania-game-centric platform), which allows for some pretty chaotic, anything-goes multiplayer activities, but may also be considered a bit of a barrier to entry.
Trackmania 2 is actually still an ongoing enterprise on PC, with the ‘Lagoon’ tracks due in the near future. Nadeo’s unashamedly bizarre Trackmania series is one that can be difficult to keep up with, because the strangeness even extends to the manner and framing of their release.
