Could have been MUCH better

This game is lousy, it has terrible graphics and even worse sound effects. At this point your thinking "if it's so bad why did you give it three stars?" well the fact of the matter is, it's fun to drive a semi truck trough rush hour traffic. Other than that though, this game has hardly anything going for it.
Graphics: Like I said terrible, the cars are hardly textured at all and the traffic cars aren't. There are no shadows at all and the effects aren't very impressive either.
Sound: Bad here to, the cars all sound similar and the music is horrific.
Gameplay: The races are fun, and the cruise mode is the most enjoyable part of this game. There are also some training/career challenges which are just there to unlock paint jobs and new cars.
Which reminds me no custom colors, each car comes with about four or five (some have more) and you can't select what type of cars you race against so only about four cars are even useful, the rest are more of a novelty thing. If you have the original don't get this one as it just ads two cities and the graphics are almost identical. Overall this could have been much better had Microsoft not squandered a great game with lousy graphics, sound, and gameplay.

HAPPY HAPPY

This game is just great to play and the graphics are just awesome. The underground systems rocks in the London mode and the hills are just great for big time Air in the S.F.mode. you can also download all kind of extra's for the game at the Midtown site. This game is similiar to MM1 except for the diiferent scenery and the multitude of new cars that are available.

This is one of the best racing games out there. Instead of being landlocked in a certain racing circuit, as in other games, you get to goof around in the cities of London and San Francisco. It is just one of the most fun things in the world to smash the living cheese out out of the traffic and the cops. I could do it for days; it is just so hilarious. But if you think the game is pointless, there are racing modes with CPUs. You can do all this in 25 cars (some need to be unlocked). It is also possible to download cars off the internet, including exotic Ferraris and Lamborghinis. Endow all this goodness with online LAN capability, and that makes Midtown Madness II a classic.

Midtown Madness 2 meeds my standards of a good game but can improve

For a racing game its pretty good but the game lags alot if you go really fast and the graphics could use an update. There is a good variety of cars and two nice maps(Sanfansico and London) although you will probably like San Fransico better. You might enjoy Midtown Madness 1 more since you can actually destroy the police cars and for the weather, you can make it snow. Also the races aren't as challenging as Midtown Madness1 but just more qauntity.I perfer challenging races than alot of easier races.They also have a Sf stunt school and a London Cabbie which are somewhat challenging. Also, some of cars might have difficulty going on sidewalks or traveling through dirt.The game is good overall and could be worth buying depending on the person. For these reason I think it deserves a rating of a 4.

Hands down one of the most enjoyable LAN games ever

Me and my friends love racing LAN games together and midtown madness 2 is perfect. Free roaming the city's playing in the cops and robbers mode is just so fun. And now one of the greatest LAN games and racecar games ever. We've come to midtown madness to from need for speed high-stakes, and we love it.

The game itself in non-LAN mode is fun to, but if you want a LAN racing game for you and your buddies. This is the one to beat.

Have some fun and get it done

Great, in depth, semi-accurate game!

Midtown Maddness 2 is just about the most fun racing game I've ever played! Contray to some more negative reviews, I think microsoft did a great job on this game. First of all, the statistics:this game boasts a grand total of 88 races, not to mention that 64 of those become more difficult if you choose the "professinol" level of racing, as apposed to the "ameatur". There are 10 blitz races(races against the clock), 12 checkpoint races(races against several computer cars), and circut races(similar to checkpoint, except there are a certain amount of laps that you most complete), in each city. Also, there are 13 London cabbie and 13 SF Stunt Driver "crash cources", which include 3 midtermes that you must take, and 1 final exam. Now to run these many races, there are 20 differant vehicles to choose from:everything from the racecar that can do around 205 mph, to the city bus which does 0-60 in 1 hour as I like to say. Now on to the reasons why this game is fun to play!

Midtown Maddness 2 is a great, classic arcade game. In the game, you can ram into as many cars as you want, and still keep going! Yes, you will see smoke start to some out of the engine, but eventually the computer will restart your car so you can keep on road ragin! Another thing is that the cops never get out of there cars, so the game is never delayed by them trying to acually arrest you like in the Grand Theft Autos. Don't get me wrong, thats a fun game, just a little too realistic for me. So anyway, the cops will still chase you and try to stop you, even to the point where the wheels go flying or rolling off their cars! Next, both maps are so emensly big that I've had the game for almost a year and a half now, and I think I finally saw absolutly everything there is to see.

The only unrealistic part of the game that has always stuck in my mind is the "underground" or subway in London. I've been to London 3 times now, and the only thing realistic about this is that the stations are fairly accurate in apperance, not nessacerily in location. The tunnels are about 3 times as wide as they need to be, and the trains are doing about 90 or 95 mph in the game, when in reality, they really only do about 30 mph. So if the game could have just one improment, I would say to have the "underground" more accurate. It was a good idea, but needed a little more attention then it was apparently given.

Overall, I strongly recommened this game to anyone, from beginers to pros, that are a fan of street racing. If you are questioning the game, I would say go for it, you won't regret it!
