They also added a boatload of cool local multiplayer modes, which, unfortunately, are not available for online play (Due to lag concerns no doubt). It obviously still has the track builder, which new blocks added to spice up your tracks even more.
That aside, TMT, as mentioned, sports 4 different environments, which makes the purchase price a real steal if you compare to buying all the pre-existing environments separately in TM2 form. Everything else is more or less just fluff and in no way effects the core game. Honestly, the only real valid criticism of TMT I've seen so far is the lack of persistent leaderboards for tracks (I.E. The game, like the actual gameplay, is about ridiculous arcade physics and extreme precision trying to find the very best line to get a time milliseconds faster than whoever is ranked above you. I've been playing TM for over a decade at this point, and honestly, I don't understand why TMT is getting so much hate.
I'm not sure if the TMT demo is available yet for the TM2 games there's a pretty comprehensive demo which let's you try out the game here: Haven't played around with it too much yet, but noticed people have built some fairly interesting stuff, from F1 mods to porting the entire Nations campaign. Since Stadium was only 5 euros this weekend on Steam I ended up also buying it, also considering it's so far my favorite environment. Personally I've never experienced this side of the game, so I can't exactly tell what I'm missing now. The one thing left out of the above list is the difference in modability, which has been an explicit choice by Nadeo/Ubi and this is unlikely to ever change. All of these things seem like they would be fairly easy fixes, provided Nadeo ends up giving a fair bit of support to the game. The progress through the ranks as you improve your times is there, but you never actually see how far you are off other people for example. There's a few issues, such as the lack of being able to name your tracks, a seemingly rather arbitrary (for PC) limit on track complexity in the editor, and I wish it would actually show me some sort of leaderboard for the tracks.
(though the twitchyness of the Valley buggy sometimes drives me nuts, but I believe the same applies for the TM2 incarnation of it) In terms of core gameplay, I haven't found anything particularly wrong with the game. Definitely not regretted the purchase yet, the track design so far is pretty good (55 or so tracks in), controls are fine and graphically the whole game runs very well. I ended up getting TMT from Direct2Drive due to a 1 hour 60% of part of their catalogue, which turned it into a pretty attractive 16 euro pre-order. To add some further experience to this, in my case from someone who played some Trackmania Sunrise but had been on hiatus for about 10 years or so.
