TrackMania Turbo Reviews
As with so many games, TrackMania Turbo has mistaken large headline grabbing numbers on the back of the box as a good thing. Stripping away a lot of the flab, leaving you with less tracks, would have played far better to the games strengths.
It's got the speed, but not the finesse
Trackmania Turbo is a fast and challenging game, which offers a lot of content despite its small install size. It is, however, somewhat frustrating and demanding, which means that it won't be for everyone. That said, there's a large community of gamers who love this type of experience, and those folks will eat it up.
It may be frustrating at times, but if you like your racers, Trackmania Turbo may be an interesting distraction for you.
TrackMania: Turbo's a gaudy game that demands you excel in short bursts. A truly compelling online component and a meaty single player campaign is offset by some shaky handling that, in the case of one car in particular, is far too fiddly to be fun – but those that like a challenge will still enjoy attempting to tame the title's increasingly outlandish maps. With a clumsy but empowering track editor there's certainly no danger of this racer running out of gas – it just depends how long you're willing to keep up with the quest to be the best.
TrackMania Turbo is missing some crucial features from the past PC iterations, however the core formula of racing for times on crazy tracks is intact enough to still provide some basic fun.
A fast and frenetic racer that emphasizes quick albeit touchy controls and gravity defying jumps, with a huge amount of content.

In the end, Trackmania: Turbo is a beautiful game that tries to set itself apart from the pack. It's definitely better than most, and it's clear that Nadeo have become rather accustomed to making these games. As the first TrackMania to make its way onto the PlayStation 4, I do recommend it if it is your genre of choice. But note that, thanks to the uninteresting campaign track designs, how long the game can hold your attention for is definitely proportionate to how much time you might be willing to pour into the track editor.
For me, TrackMania Turbo just didn't earn the checkered flag. If you love time-trials, however, this is the racing game you've been waiting for.
It's still the same compulsive, time-attack Trackmania, but some of the beautifully chaotic edges (particularly regarding custom online multiplayer) that made it a cult hit on PC have been dulled.
Trackmania Turbo delivers thrills online and off thanks to high speed, crazy tracks, and a unique time trial focus.
This game appeals to both hardcore and novice drivers, but its limited Time Attack focus isn't for everyone
Trackmania Turbo is a fun game if you're playing it alone or with friends. With simple mechanics and a wealth of content, you'll always find a reason to revisit the charming and chaotic world of the game.

Trackmania Turbo is available now on the PC, PS4 and Xbox One. It was developed by Nadeo and published by Ubisoft. This review covers the PS4 version of the game.
Too fast, too furious: Trackmania Turbo is the same old Trackmania, with its hard challenges and some new multiplayer modes. Sometimes it tries too hard to punish the player... and it succeeds!

A phenomenal arcade racer, which unfortunately relies a little too much on player's competitive drive, from which comes majority of the title's life time.
As an arcade racer, it 's possibly the most fun you can have with the laws of physics. Some may be put off by the lack of a more competitive race mode, but for the majority, this colourful, simple and above all, addictive game is one of the most enjoyable racers to hit consoles in quite some time.
Trackmania Turbo is an amalgamation of arcade racers from over the years, and the attention to detail really shines through.
Trackmania Turbo brings its unique blend of thrill ride, arcade and puzzle racing to current generation consoles, and purely speaking about gameplay, is probably the best title in the series – it's certainly turned into my favourite of the bunch.
TrackMania Turbo is a game that will make you want to bash your head against a wall- and you will love it for that.
