    A giant step backwards from the original Trackmania game. Although TM2 features better graphics, the gameplay has gotten worse.

Although TM2 features better graphics, the gameplay has gotten worse. Where in the first game, you could see your ratings go up beginning with the comletion of the very first race, this game requires you to gain gold medals to qualify for rated single-player time attack racers, which can only be repeated every five minutes (even for tracks that take only 10 seconds). Multi-player races are as meaningless as ever, with zero collision detection and staggered starts. And the new engine won't show your horns or custom paint to other players unless they've tweaked their firewalls it's awkward and antiquated. This is a very poor quality racer.… Expand

    Good points great graphics and music.
    Bad points the rest.
    In fact it's easy to characterize this game it's Super Meat Boy with cars. Ie a game for masochists that love to die repeatedly on the same actions over and over until their hands bleed in order to beat the stupid timer required to unlock tracks and online competition. If you're a masochist, you'll love this game. I'm    Good points great graphics and music.

    Mit MP - Maniaplanet bzw. TM2 - Trackmania 2 hat Nadeo mit Hilfe von Ubis****** ein überarbeitetes und verbessertes Erlebnis erschaffen wollen.

    Aber alles was damit erreicht wurde ist die Aufteilung der Spielerbase auf die verschiedenen Titel.
    Mit TM2 wurde Trackmania der Todesstoß verpasst, so wie einst Julius Cäsar.

    Zusätzlich wurde die Mapping und Modding Community noch durch den Steam Workshop gesplitted. Denn im Steam Workshop hochgeladene Inhalte sind nicht direkt auf Mania Exchange oder ManiaPark verfügbar und anders herum.

    Nadeo hat viele falsche und fragwürdige Entscheidungen getroffen, statt auf Feedback ein zu gehen oder aus den vergangenen Fehlern zu lernen wurde so weiter gemacht. (Lagoon)

    Trackmania ist leider so gut wie Tot, ich sage so etwas nur ungern denn meistens stimmt das nicht oder solche Aussagen sorgen dafür, dass ein Multiplayer/Spiel ausstirbt, aber in diesem Fall trifft das zu.

    ~1000 Spieler pro Tag Weltweit sind im Vergleich zu TMNF zu seinen Glanzzeiten mit 2-3 Millionen Spielern ein Armutszeugnis.    … Expand

    As a huge fan of original Trackmania nations(world cup) and Nations forever I have to say this is a huge disappointment. The tracks themselves are very poorly designed, the best description I could give to them is - boring. The original trackmania nations games had incredibly inventful maps, which were both challenging and interesting. Tracks in Trackmania Stadium are just so plain andAs a huge fan of original Trackmania nations(world cup) and Nations forever I have to say this is a huge disappointment. The tracks themselves are very poorly designed, the best description I could give to them is - boring. The original trackmania nations games had incredibly inventful maps, which were both challenging and interesting. Tracks in Trackmania Stadium are just so plain and uninteresting I am not sure I wanna play the solo maps at all, even though I played all of the tracks in the original games at least 3 times.
    Music in the game is also uninteresting. What happened to all those exciting and emotional tracks from the original games? The music that kept you on the edge of your seat, inspired you and kept you motivated to play the tracks again and again? The new music is just so simplistic and basic I don't wanna play this game at all

    The only part of the game that was improved is the graphics. It's bright, it's colorful, all of the pretty lights and reflections - very nicely done.So the people who worked on it get a praise from me.
    Unfortunately graphics alone is not enough to make a good game, I'm sorry. 310    … Expand

    You can still fall in love with Trackmania 2, but these are not Pokemons and you don’t need to catch ‘em all. If there are still some tracks for you to master in Canyon, you don’t have to buy Stadium. [CD-Action 09/2013, p.64]

    Nothing really new under the sun of TrackMania 2, just an artificial Stadium of arcade precision and a natural Valley of dirty driving. After Canyon, two extra physical environments and different driving styles to race offline and online.

    With Stadium, TrackMania 2 still holds true to the core tenets of the series, catering first and foremost to those, who'd do everything to shave that elusive hundredth off their time to beat the competition.At only 10 Euros, it's also a great place to start, if this games sounds like your kind of deal and you haven't gotten around to trying the series out.
