SCREEN

First Impression

What on earth does a TMU Coast track have to do with Halloween, was my first impression. Well the GPS say it all: the copper contest is related to a Halloween search. Find the hidden elements. This makes this track a “Ghost” track instead of a Coast track J. Concentrating on the track itself it seems a well designed smooth track with some really nice original ideas. Lets Trick or Treat!

First Impression

Ooooohhh, looking at the title, reading the quote, then looking at the intro… Mommy I’m scared! What shall happen to me? If I enter this track will I ever get out? Will I ever race again? Will I see my mommy ever again? Shall I try it? Whatever, life sucks when you’re having fun.

Carribean Gold 

First Impression

Well… using an impressing Mod with “speedy parts”, “jumps and drops” has my attention! So my first impression is very good! Then suddenly the surprise hits me: the jumps and the drops and the tricks are countable on one hand (you may cut off one of your fingers). Can this track fulfill my first impression? Let’s see…

Looking Up

First Impression

Is it a speed track? Is it a tech-track? Is it a maze track? I don’t know… The author calls it tricky, does that conflict with the speed? Lets try! The tricky part in the beginning is clear: lots of parts where you can stumble. The maze part is clear too: lots of signs, help! Where to go? Then finally the speed part, that’s fun. But what if we get round the bumps and know where to go, then it all gets clear to me: a challenging track well suited for WR-hunting.

Blood, Sex and Booze

First Impression

The Author Comment says full speed. It probably is, but an unusual slow one. It seems possible to complete without letting go of the gas, but at the same time there are plenty of technical aspects the driving appears kind of slow. But that’s not bad… I like this one already!

Quote:

“Damn hard track !
But nice when you can completed it !” - the_king90

First Impression

The track is a bit confusing and the signs aren’t working. It isn’t too hard to find the way but it would be much better if the signs would work.

Review Highlights - September/October

November 1, 2007

As you may or may not remember, before TMX went down the idea of having a monthly overview of the reviewed tracks during the month that has passed was born. This was only done once, for August, while September suffered from the TMX downtime (and didn’t have many tracks at all reviewed).

Today a new attempt to establish the Review Highlights is made. And not to leave September out, this is a double edition ;)

Oh, but before we start, I’m still not happy about the award icons you’ll find in this post. If you can, I’d like you to make award icons for “Track of the Month“, “Excellent Track” and “Tag Award“. Each icon should have a small size of 70×70 and look really cool ;)

If you have no idea what all this is about, have a look at the Review Info page (point 5) before reading the rest of this post.
