Many of the game's races take place in more urban settings, so expect to see lots of cityscapes. Everything looks great, but with a decidedly toy-like look, giving the entire package a unique charm. Like the original, Sunrise clearly aims towards the arcade side of the target. The biggest of these improvements comes in the graphics department. Dig deeper and you'll find a few minor improvements, but nothing vastly different. On the surface, Trackmania Sunrise is a spruced up version of the original. Though the game didn't attract a large audience in the states, it managed to build up a nice following in the UK, meriting a sequel.

In what could only be described as the "grown-up" version of the Hot Wheels tracks we all played with when we were younger, Trackmania took arcade racing to a completely new level by throwing in massive loops and jumps as well as a fun track editor.

No, it wasn't Need for Speed or Burnout, but a little game known as Trackmania. Chances are you didn't play one of last year's most action-packed racers.
