What are the differences between TrackMania Nations Forever and TrackMania² Stadium

trackmania-2trackmania-forever

A few days ago I've purchased TrackMania² Stadium on Steam. I'm really enjoying it, even though I'm not that good. After also trying the (free) TrackMania Nations Forever, I've been wondering what the differences are between these two games.

The only differences I've found so far:

  • Improved graphics
  • A number of different tracks
  • The ability to build underground in the track editor

Are there any other differences?

TrackMania Nations Forever is a free version of Trackmania. I originally purchased the United Forever title in which you would receive more environments. The games themselves are Identical.

Trackmania 2 Stadium features all that you mentioned over its predecessor as well as an improved track editor and improved leader boards.

Essentially $5 (December Steam Sale 2013) gets you an upgraded Environment and editor with their version of a workshop where users my buy/sell/trade tracks, car designs (and more?).
