NZGamer: "It's pretty hard to recommend ShootMania to all but a select group as it stands right now but, like TrackMania, it seems reasonable to expect that it will improve over time and become something more worthwhile as the months go by - assuming Nadeo, Ubisoft, and the community at large continue to invest in it. If you're a hardcore fan of the genre, a budding game designer, an eSports enthusiast, or just want to get a look at the "before" version, by all means - dive in. Otherwise, your "shooting people in the face" fantasies are better served elsewhere."
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.
