'ShootMania Storm is a bit of an odd product when you consider the previous game that developer Nadeo is famous for, TrackMania 2. Instead of a wacky, racing-lite time-trials experience – one where players were often encouraged to flip their cars upside down while listening to Jurassic Park dub-step - ShootMania is a multiplayer first-person shooter, with a particular focus on strong competition and paid tournament play. How well can a developer transition to a completely different genre like that? Needless to say, I entered ShootMania with some trepidation, but I was willing to give the developer a chance.'
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.
