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.

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…

“It offers u some tricky spots, but should always be fair“.

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.

“An edge of your seat, pedal to the metal, tight as a tiger, and tough as nails speed track. Can you do it FS? I dare you to.” - KiWiNiNjA in the Author Comments.

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!

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.

Fast and with good transitions, but doesn’t seem to have anything extra special to take it to the top.

Track Review – Speed Anxiety

I’ve added a “Quote” section. Hopefully I’ll be able to make an interesting quote from the awards, author comments, or anything else for each track reviewed from today on ;) Let me know if this is a good idea or not in the comments.

Oh, and this review was given as a gift to the authors by Micster (probably because Micster did some MT work on the track, but it’s still a nice gesture :P )

Holy farm animal! What a start! What speed! What an adrenaline rush! I suspect you’d be a fool not to try this track!
