Critic	Score
CapsuleComputers "Trackmania 2 Canyon has been a pleasure to discover. A few months ago I had never heard of this series; now it’s my favourite racer. The stripped back style probably won’t get the Gran Turismo diehards going and it could use a few tutorials, but if you want fun, fast arcade racing then you could do no wrong picking this up – and it’s only $24.99 US. A bargain if there ever was one." Read Full Review	95/100
Eurogamer It's a fitting time of year to release TrackMania 2: Canyon, a game in which the skies are an ocean blue and prairie clouds hang low in the sky. Cold, fresh and breezy, it's a liberating environment upon which to unleash the imaginations of a community hardened by the devilish tracks crafted since the release of TrackMania nearly eight years ago.

Ironhammers At it’s heart, what we have here is certainly a Trackmania title. The basic premise, and even the menus are still very reminiscent of what we’ve seen in the past. While navigating these menus is still a little clunky, those who’ve played Nations will feel at home immediately. The same goes for the game modes; we’ve got the short single player, challenge-like circuits in there to become accustomed to the game — which I have to say, are brilliantly implemented so as to offer training for all aspects — and the multiplayer aspect, which sees you racing with other players in a bid to achieve the fastest lap times during a set time limit.

MMGN Developers know when they have a good thing going; the last Trackmania title was released in 2008 and as of December last year there was still 700,000 users logging on, so how do you follow that up with a worthy sequel? Rather than breaking the mold Trackmania 2: Canyon simply brings forth a breath of fresh air to give the franchise a new coat of paint. Is it worth the price of admission? Read Full Review	85/100

Strategy Informer "There is an old saying that everybody knows, yet no-one is aware of exactly where it came from: 'If it ain't broken, don't fix it'. This saying is applied to the world of video games constantly, be it the latest Modern Warfare or Uncharted - but it's arguable that it's no more true than in racing games". Read Full Review	85/100

Daily Joypad "Trackmania 2: Canyon is a game that is as open and playable as you determine it to be. If you just fancy hopping into a car and whizzing through a few time trials, feel free, you’ll still have fun. But if you really want to get the most out of Trackmania 2, you’ll need to go beyond the bare bones of the game and really get stuck in and you’ll be hooked." Read Full Review	80/100

The Digital Fix The Trackmania series is something of an anomaly in the racing game world. At a time when realism, in both feel and physics, are constantly pushed to the boundaries of the genuine racing experience; Trackmania took a step back and decided that all players really want is to build crazy tracks and have fun.
