Nadeo release time-limited TrackMania 2 and ShootMania demos

Nadeo's shooty ShootMania and drivey TrackMania 2 games have both been given sizeable new demos , with the intention of increasing the player count in both Mania titles. The demos are pretty generous, offering access to a good number of environments, modes, tracks and the full editing suite in both games, although this unlimited access will expire after 48 hours, to be replaced with something perhaps a little more reasonable (an hour of play every day, or more if the player count falls below 100). Head here to check out the TrackMania 2 demo, and here to check out the ShootMania one, or stick around to hear exactly what you'll be getting.

  • 3 multiplayer ranked modes: Battle, Elite & Siege
  • Full multiplayer experience (Nadeo and user-created gamemodes and Title Packs)
  • Access to all editors (Map, MediaTracker (Video), Actions & Weapons, Items)
  • Custom Titles: solo & multiplayer innovative modes

TrackMania 2, meanwhile, has the following to offer:

  • 45 white solo tracks
  • Access to the TrackMania² multi-environment title (Canyon + Valley + Stadium at the same time!)(1)
  • Full multiplayer experience (Nadeo and user-created gamemodes and Title Packs)
  • Access to all editors (Map, MediaTracker (Video), Actions & Weapons, Items)
  • Up to 3 user made solo & multiplayer experiences
