Sweet. I imported Sunrise back when it was released in Europe. It's an excellent game. Can't wait for this free expansion!

Trachmania was a racing game where you could build the track (in puzzle fashion, or just to make a new track) and then seamlessly switch to a mode where you could race on the track. TMSunrise is the sequel, and has amazing graphics, really fun tracks, is a lot faster and smoother, and lets you do some crazy stunts while racing. It's sort of a platformer racing game. There is a demo you can download, and once I did, I had to buy the full thing.

Am I excited by this announcement? You bet!

That's a rather inane way to present your cluelessness.

And yes, the game is an awesome sequel to an already superb arcade-racer/puzzle game and more levels are alqays good, extreme or not.

Anyone know if any stores actually carry it, or would I pretty much have to import it or order it from some obscure online retailer?

I thought the demo was fun, but the amount of trial and error stopped me getting the full thing. Is it the same in the retail version?

This game is awesome, and I'm fairly excited about a free expansion. I picked it up on friday and have already put a good 12 hours into it. Its a bit like the old rush games but even less realistic than those. It is like a car platformer game, with ridiculously huge jumps and stunts and cars that can hit ridiculous speeds.

Its fairly hard to find though, but you can order it and most places sell it for $30 or less.
