Nadeo's flagship title Trackmania distilled the elements of a racing game down into a simple, but effective formula. By keeping the racing elements relatively basic, it allowed the developers to add in powerful suites for creative players, designing...

Look, you get the point: who knows what's to come with ShootMania, because so much rests on the shoulders of players. But as Nadeo well knows, given the chance, we can create some pretty amazing things.
