Trackmania United is the fourth game in the Trackmania series. It was first announced on June 30, 2006.
Gameplay[]
Trackmania United is a compliation of all the previous Trackmania games, featuring seven environments: Desert, Rally, Snow, Island, Coast, Bay and Stadium. The three modes featured in the solo campaign are Race, Puzzle and Platform.
Playing in the campaign earns players coppers which can be used to buy new cars, new tracks, replays and videos. Coppers can also be used to buy entry into tournaments with the winner taking away the jackpot, making the use of them more important than before. Players will start the game with 50 coppers, and they can earn extra coppers by playing through the game in solo mode and online.
The track editor has also returned with more blocks to use for Stadium, including dirt roads, indoor sections, and pools, and for the first time on that environment, you can respawn at the checkpoints. Another new road block is the engine cut-off. Upon driving over this block, the car's engine will be cut-off until it reaches the next checkpoint or respawns at the previous one. This block is only present in the Desert, Rally, Snow, and Stadium environments.
The game has a new peer-to-peer networking system that makes it easier to share content, as well as a ranking system. Another new feature is ManiaZones which group players by geographical location. There is also ManiaLink in which each player has their own personal webpage which displays their stats and creations.
The game features ManiaCode as an in-game download system, as well as ManiaLink, which is used to give players their own personal webpages.
