TrackMania 2 (stylized as TrackMania²) is a racing video game developed by Ubisoft Nadeo and published by Ubisoft as part of the TrackMania series.

Gameplay

[edit]

TrackMania2 features gameplay similar to that of previous games in the series. The player can race on various tracks, with the ability to do stunts in various modes, including a championship and a cooperative mode.[2] The track editor from previous games also returned. A new "ManiaScript" is being created to help players add new features in the game. As the game's popularity grew, players began uploading complicated custom built courses onto YouTube showcasing their creativity.[3]
