"ShootMania Storm is a fun shooter with some interesting game modes and feels a lot like the simpler multiplayer shooters of old. The basic gameplay isn’t anything new, and the lack of different terrains does mean there’s not much change up in the visuals. However, there’s plenty of fun to be had and, if it gets you, it hooks you in. Plus, if you’re the creative type, the level editor will give you plenty to play around with, although it’s not very newcomer. If you liked TrackMania and you like first person shooters, then this is something you should have a look at."
One Angry Gamer "Now here’s a bit of news you probably didn’t see coming: Nadeo has announced that you can gain free access to their ManiaPlanet games right now, no strings attached. You download the free demo and for 48 hours straight you can play the ManiaPlanet titles for free."
Shootmania Platform, developed by Nadeo, will be free in its current beta form for the whole summer.
The Trackmania games rarely go on sale, so getting any and/or all of them is a recommendation.
