The two puzzles in the demo are extraordinarily easy, though, and the track editor is limited. Two more silvers in Platform let you try the two Puzzle challenges, the highlight of the demo: Given a starting point and a finish line, you must construct the shortest track you can with a limited set of building blocks. Win silver medals in both races to access the new Platform mode, in which you must make an untimed series of difficult jumps. In Race mode, you simply drive on an existing track for the fastest time. In the demo, you progress through three gameplay modes. The demo for TrackMania Sunrise isn't as generous as the original game's four demos, but arcade-racing fans will not be disappointed. The sequel expands on the original with new gameplay modes, better graphics, and faster cars. Last year's TrackMania combined the physics of an arcade racer with the problem solving of a puzzle game.
