    They removed split-screen, the thing that I used the most. Just because they can... if you look it up they did this few years ago in a small update where they said "temporarily disabling it" well guess what they disabled it permanently because they want you to buy more copies so you play over LAN/net. I'm rating this negative and will ask for a refund, also GO F*** YOURSELF UBISOFT

    TrackMania 2: Canyon is excellent in my opinion, which is easily justified thanks to the introduction of ManiaPlanet. The whole is still full of crazy stunts and the necessary puzzles, which can make veterans go crazy. Audiovisually, TrackMania 2 has improved considerably and that greatly enhances the experience. At least I'll be sweet again in the coming years... The game also works great on the steam deck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0ICWNWrCrs The tracks are very diverse. One track is…

    I love this game, hate the account management. I bought this game years ago, played it, and then I lost access to the maniaplanet account because my email-address was shut down no warning (that mistake is on me). Problem is, Neither Steam og Ubisoft is willing to help me get the game to play. Because: The game-key I bought from steam is linked to the inaccessible maniaplanet account. I can make a new maniaplanet account, but then I have no game-key. Steam won't let me buy another game key,…

    Bought this game years ago, and wanted to restart after seeing some of the new TrackMania scene. Welp, my account no longer exists, I have no "key", and the title is literally unplayable thanks to Nadeo's bizarre and vastly hostile ManiaPlanet app. I paid for a product that I can no longer access. In attempting to unravel this mess, I had to look up details on Steam (my purchase platform, and one which refused to help), then download a ManiaPlanet app to my PC, then scuttle over to UbiSoft and…

    Good game by Nadeo, afwul service by ubisoft were you have to conect to their server EVERY time you login, even if you want to play alone on the original tracks, so if the servers go down or your internet is down you cant play it.

    Evil ubisoft scammers stole my license to the game and are holding it hostage, even with original proof of purchase. Password to unnecessary secondary Ubisoft account mysteriously changed and they refuse to recover, not bullshitting.. Unfortunately... Worst publisher in the business. Common issue if you read around.

    The game is great, but I'm leaving a dislike because I'm sick and tired of the useless ManiaPlanet launcher. It's slow, it's a hindrance to 99.99% of users, so Narrow/Ubisoft, get *ucking rid of it!

    Unfortunately with the move to ManiaPlanet 4 I can no longer access this game. The reset password link doesn't work, and creating a new account on ManiaPlanet won't allow me to associate my Steam CD Key. I have emailed Ubisoft support directly for assistance but have received none.

    It's Trackmania, Europe's best kept secret. No other racing franchise compares. This particular TM2 outing is easily the best of the 4 environments of TM2. The drifting mechanics alone make it a blast to play and that's even before you factor in the many well designed tracks on offer. You won't go wrong with this game or any of the other version of TM2 ( I still need to really dig into Lagoon to give it a fair shake but I know there's fun to be had there too). It's a shame TM2020 is a…

    Still worth playing in 2025. Tiny but incredibly active community pumping out tons of high-quality tracks. Access to all the TMUF cars plus the the Canyon, Lagoon, and Valley cars, with full-on community campaigns for Snow, Desert, and Island. Definitely worth picking up if you want a change of pace from the minimalism of TM2020.

    TrackMania 235 What I Liked It's a TrackMania game. The racing is good, track design good, it's all good for a TrackMania game. What I Did Not Like It's like every other TrackMania game. It's not revolutionary. Why I Stopped Playing Already played TrackMania a lot. While there is some new things here, it really wasn't enough for me to keep playing. Disclaimer I have been a gamer for over 30 years. I tend to play mostly PC games. I also bounce around between games A LOT. I…

    There are racing games… and then there is Trackmania 2 Canyon, a masterpiece that doesn’t just entertain—it absorbs you, challenges you, and reminds you why you fell in love with games in the first place. From the moment the car hits the sun-drenched canyon roads, every second becomes a test of precision, reflexes, and pure adrenaline. This isn’t about realistic driving or simulated physics—this is high-speed art, a dance between you, gravity, and the razor-thin margin between perfection and…

    Quick Score: 5/5 Notes: One of the best trackmania games. The car controls quite a bit different from stadium/nations, but is fairly intuitive. The entire game is extremely high speed and involves constantly drifting. There are a couple pretty frustrating stages, but in general the game is just extremely fun to play and doesn't really have any annoying surfaces/gimmicks. My tier list for the trackmania games. (Not including 2020) This is only in regards to the experience of going for the…

    Unique environment that still holds up visually and in gameplay in 2023. Lot of focus on drifting and precision driving in this campaign. the drifting feels reasonably good. I'd say drifting feels a bit better than stadium drifting, very satisfying. Unique TM2 game that stands out perhaps the most of the 4 as a good one to try.

Who thought playing a boring map for up to 10 laps that amount up to 10 minutes? IN ALL THREE GAMES??? WHAT THE FK IS THIS!?

    Man this game is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ good when you are sliding, the car just glides along in such a controllable and satisfying way. Open platform maps are REALLY fun. But the precision and country road obliterate the score for this game. The car when you aren't sliding feels like it has like 400ms input latency, but only half the time, the other half is fine, this makes the steering feel SUPER bad and inconsistent. But man when you are sliding this game HITS. 7/10

    Brilliant game. Tracks are crazy like Scalextric and good graphics. The custom made tracks are even crazier. You might find yourself restarting the race (in single player mode) hundreds of times chasing that perfect score. Setting "official" times on the online leader board (from what I remember) can only be done every like 4 minutes or something which is annoying because you only have a limited time to have your go. But I like it, I like getting the fastest times.

Plus I don't really know how to put it into words but the car feels quite weird to drive unless you're drifting, its a bit sluggish almost, but sometimes it seems to snap and react more sensitive than usual when im getting into a noslide from a drift.
