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.

Iconic PC racing game, probably the best TackMania episode of the game series. The graphics are really good, so are the physics. The original soundtrack is great even if it tends to be repetitive if you play it a lot. The difficulty curve is well managed, with few exceptions. In order to progress you have to obtain a certain medal and this mechanic gives the game a surprising replayability. While you can easily progress at the beginning of the game just by harvesting bronze medals you will have to surpass yourself to get silver or gold and get further. However this also makes the flaw of the game. When you first launch it all races are not unlocked. And if you don't have the ability to perform you simply paid for nothing. I found its price were quite high for what TrackMania offers. Fortunately playing it on Steam is great since you can easily add mods that will significantly improve the the duration of the game. The first races are funny and adapted to all players (even for beginners) but as you go further you will come across some hardcore tracks that will demand you to fully understand the game mechanics. This seems mostly created for hardcore players. The worldwide and regional rankings are great and bring more fun to the game. Plus you can readily compete with your friends with the 'ghost mode'. The community is awesome and can help you as you want to achieve your goals.

The essence or arcade racing with a strong emphasis on competitive play. Although called "competitive", the community is very nice and you can play on ranked servers in a relaxed atmosphere. It is to be noted that Trackmania² Stadium DOES NOT require Uplay (yeehah !).

TMNF / TMNUF ist DAS beste Spiel in der Geschichte in seinem Genre. Es gibt nichts vergleichbares. 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.

With 65 tracks, a powerful editor, a promising online multiplayer and an affordable price, TrackMania 2: Stadium puts on the table several good reasons to buy.

Since the dawn of Trackmania there hasn't been another arcade racer that comes close to the likelihood of it. Trackmania 2 is just as awesome as the original Trackmania was with somewhat improved graphics. Why only somewhat you may ask? Well, it is very easy! Trackmania has its very own graphics style which was a massive success when it launched and still is a massive success. This leaves not much playroom for the developers to upgrade it looks-wise besides upgrading the textures and bumping up the supported resolution to basically what ever you want. The community is just as friendly, helpful, funny, big and supportive of the game as i remember it from the original. Now if you want to know what the Gameplay feels like i can only recommend you to download Trackmania for free via a google search and give it a try as it is free to play. If you then decide that you like the game either continue playing the F2P version or throw in about 5-10 bucks and enjoy the full version which lets you play without a timeout after 5 online races. I highly recommend this game as it gives you many many hours of fun Gameplay.

This is maybe one of the game I pass the more time with. A really good campaign that made me pass hour and hour to have all the trackmaster but what is best about this game is the competition that is creat by the community like zrt cup.

Taken as a whole, Stadium presents the best Trackmania 2 experience. It offers every feature found in last year’s Canyon and for half the price. More importantly, Stadium has adopted the bulk of the community, so new players would be advised to choose this better, cheaper option.

i totally love this game. Spent hours and hours with this game. Forget the solo campaign and continue to the multiplayer - thats where the true fun of this game begins!

Trackmania have always been my favorite racing game. And Stadium I have played since Nations Forever. In Trackmania you build your own race tracks and play them yourself, with your friends or online. No story just like sandbox. That's it. Because that it's 7/10.Still a great game.

I'd rate this game higher, if I was allowed to play it at home. It seems that a lot of Ubisoft's games have been blocked by random internet companies. I'm not sure why, and they don't seem to care enough to contact the ISPs that have them blocked. In any case, it's a pretty fun game, you have a lot of tracks to try and beat. I don't particularly like how extremely difficult this game gets to give you gold medals. The previous one was easier, yet hard enough it was still fun. This one makes gold medals almost impossible to get. You can also make your own tracks and share with the community real easily, lots of tracks to download as well with fun entertaining things and even stunts you can do. If your ISP doesn't block this game's servers, you'll likely enjoy it a lot.

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 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 **** 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
SummaryTrackMania 2 Stadium is the comeback of the Stadium environment enjoyed by millions of players with TrackMania Nations Forever, this time as part of the ManiaPlanet environment allowing for improved services around the game, better graphics and powerful track editor. TrackMania 2 Stadium is a whacky, crazy and fast paced take on the r... Read More
