TrackMania 2 Stadium Demo

Arcade racing games are all about speed and adrenaline, which means that they usually disregard everything when it comes to realism. Hence, they might not be the proper choice if you are looking for something to make you feel like a race driver, but they are the answer to your speed cravings and a good way to have some fun.

TrackMania 2 Stadium is a new release in the insanely popular arcade racing series, and it adds a lot of content while keeping the underlying formula basically the same. Hence, if you were a fan of the franchise before, this should feel and act almost exactly the same as everything else that came before it, only with improved graphics and smoother gameplay mechanics.

As such, you can now take a spin on a variety of new tracks, all of which are as crazy and gravity-defying as the series accustomed its fans. Long jumps, impossible loops, and the usual dreamy landscapes are all part of the equation, not to mention the inviting straight lines for you to push the engines to their limits. Speaking of which, a variety of new cars have been added as well, all of which look as futuristic as ever.

Although the developers have added their own selection of tracks to this release, the biggest change is the introduction of the improved and simplified track editor. Hence, everyone can put their imagination into practice and publish their ideas, which in turn leaves you with thousands of choices when it comes to the tracks you can race on.

The visual quality has been drastically improved as well, but the game is optimized to run on less powerful computers with ease. Not only that, but high framerates are a must when every little mistake can cost you the race, so you can be sure that the graphics engine is quite capable of running at peak FPS at all times. Naturally, this might be affected by how far you choose to raise the detail level.

All things considered, TrackMania 2 Stadium is in no dangers of losing its fans anytime soon, nor become boring due to the lack of content. In fact, it would be a miracle if you managed to experience everything the game has to offer, given the staggering number of tracks you can download and race on.
