5 stars
Version: Turbo Sliders 2
"Don't play it, it's addictive :P"
Pros: - highly customizable (tracks, cars, mods..)
- excellent multiplayer & lag handling (compared to MRO, for example)
- addictive as hell (I'm playing it nonstop since June 2005 :S)
- TS 2 gives now a fully featured demo with no time limit! Enjoy!Cons: - addictive as hell (I lost over three years of my life playing this..); there should be a max hours/day limit set somewhere..
Summary: I went back reading all previous reviews, and I could notice 4 stars minimum, except Kotai (author of a similar game - MRO) who voted twice 1 star. Probably he didn't even try TurboSliders.
I tried various 2D racing games, with classic topdown view. Generally, MiniRacingOnline, TurboSliders and some other ones I can't remember anymore.
MiniRacingOnline and TurboSliders are the most interesting ones.
MiniRacingOnline has a bigger community thanks to their freeware policy. The game looks very nice (expecially graphics), but it's lacking something very important (at least for me): a stable online multiplayer. That's why I decided to play TurboSliders.
TurboSliders allows to play nearly everything: F1 (MRO style), Toca, Nascar, Speedway, MotoGP and so on.
It also includes funny mods like PunaBall (football with cars), X-BumpZ (bump opponents out of the arena), Missiles (single or team battles), and other smaller mods such as Curling, Teamplay, BasketBall...
Basically you can create your own tracks and cars, with custom physics&graphics, and then host your own cups and tournaments with players coming from all around the world.
Lag handling is excellent!
Try it, join our community at www.turbosliders.com :P
