Track mania Nations is a very popular online racing game released in the year 2008 that has become the most played online game in an instance, till date. It has cool interface, amazing graphics, awesome tracks and full of madness !! it has more than 10 million racers registered online and you will understand that, that massive figure, once u play it, doesn’t have any exaggeration at al.

The Game gives you access to 5 different racing environments which they name it as white,green, blue, red and black, based on the difficulty level, where the player has to unlock all most all the tracks by winning all the races in a silver medal or gold based on the requirement. Improve your driving skills and become the world champion, make the records your own , build  tracks and sent your rivals right to where they came from !!  races under white category is pretty much for a rookie racer where as the difficulty increases to amateur,pro,and finally only a worldclass racer can finish tha game.

The graphics of the game that I thought will be a disaster when i saw the size of the installation file was much much awesome than i thought. The reflection rate of your car is very minimal as there are many particles in the environments  but they have done this to reduce the problems that may occur in online play or they say party play..The developers have very cunningly reduced the size and lagging of the game making it an ideal one for online races.Unlike any other games one with a minimum of 256 Mbps connection can play the game without any lag or minimum latency. Even though the interface is cool, it is pretty much ordinary and at times when you start modifying your car you will understand it is a hard job to nail the wall.

Audio of the game i felt is good and could have made better by adding more tracks to it. I found only 2 tracks that keep on repeating till the end but those tracks i assure you, will never make u bored or annoying. The second track even has a funky tone added to it, that when you listen will make you laugh. The tracks are a fusion of guitar,keybord,drums , and an Indian traditional musical instrument veena. They have blended it well and it adds to the quality of the game. Moreover i think they believe in the motto of QUALITY than QUANTITY !

The requirements of the game is minimal that a system with 256mb RAM can play the game without any problems.They wont ask for a graphic memory but if you have an integrated card attached, it would be an icing to your cake. The Input and Output responds well and when the car achieves 100kmph in less than 2 seconds you will never find it hard to control. The curves are sharp and highways are cunning, but with the steering in your hands, they are just another scratch.

It is all about arcade racing and its madness that the developers hav never thought of giving it a story board and i say it doesn’t need it. This game is not one of a kind but to me it is more of a kind and thats what makes Track Mania Nations a Unique seed.
