Trackmania Nations ESWC designed for eSport
"Nadeo, developers of the massively played online racing series, Trackmania, have come up trumps with their free Trackmania Nations ESWC game!"

http://www.trackmanianations.com/

It is not a Demo or Playable Demo, it is a fully game availabe to download for everyone to enjoy.

The Game

For the first time in the history of eSport, a video game has been specially developed for the Electronic Sports World Cup and is being offered free of charge to the players of the entire planet so they may commence training for the qualifiers due to take place in 53 countries on Friday 27th of January. The Grand Final of ESWC will be held in Paris from June 28th to July the 2nd , in front of 40,000 people, where the best players from each country will battle it out for a prize of 400,000 dollars.

This special version features a brand new environment, the Stadium, and a revolutionary new gameplay designed for Nadeo's own custom cars. Nadeo has pulled the technological rabbit from the hat with their own brand game engine, featuring the series' best graphics yet, finely tuned for the latest generation graphics cards, not forgetting simpler machines so that no one round the world has a technical freeze out on the race track. With the online in-game ladder, players can customise their cars and avatars and race in their nation's colours on the world's servers from Friday onwards. Many Trackmania and Trackmania Sunrise players will already have access to the following exclusive features: peer 2 peer data exchange and skin and avatar customisation.

The countdown to Trackmania Nations ESWC going online on Friday has commenced; in the meantime, we suggest you view the official trailer and we let the motors do the talking instead.

Trackmania ing rules.

Grabbed and installed this... it's amazing. Unfortunately it's crashed a few times on me, so I'd advise anyone playing it to run it in a window in case it does decide to lock-up so you can still ctrl-alt-del out of it.

FYI this game installs, without your consent, drivers that may leave your system vulnerable and cause crashes as described in the post above.

See links for more information.

Yeah, it also gives you tons of FREE malware.

Just read about the Starforce install earlier. I take back what I said about this game, since the Starforce shit made my computer crawl... and that's saying a lot since it was just below top of the line when I bought it in August. Uninstalled and I'm back to up and running great.

Glad I didn't bother with this then.

If you guys prove your claim about malware, etc., StarForce is willing to pay you $10,000. Site says until Jan. 31, though.

Of course, you have to go to Moscow first...

I already knew about this game and had downloaded it without installing, but after reading this thread, maybe I won't install it.

Looks sweet though.
