I was kind of disappointed with this sequel. I expected to see the kind of things you see in games that have the "2" in the title, but they were only slightly improved. The graphics engine is the same, physics are the same, tracks and cars are what Angel Studios promised with the first title, that they were going to be downloadable via the Internet, but now we have to buy them. If you enjoyed the first one enough to complete all the race modes, then think about this game as an "Expansion Set". If you haven't play the first one, then this is the racing game you've been waiting for.

The best of the best

Midtown 1 was a great game. Midtown 2 is even better.

Midtown Madness 2 is an excellent followup to Midtown Madness. It has twice the cars, and literally twice the cities. The cities are very well laid out, with all the important landmarks and places to see, as in the first one. There is a wide range of new cars in MM2, including all of the cars from the first one. The damage textures have been improved, with parts that fall off your car, such as a rear spoiler or a bumper. And there is always the awesome internet play, as with the first one. As good as it may seem, there are some drawbacks. Midtown Madness 2 isn't really that different from the original. Microsoft just added new cars and cities, and that was it. I was hoping for different types of gameplay from the first one. Ii is a great game, but if you have the original Midtown Madness, stick with that. But if you're looking for a new racing game, this is it.

An excellent followup to an already good game

What could be better than the origional midtown madness?? Two cities including London and San Fransisco, twice the cars, and twice the fun. This game has all the fun of the origional game including blitz, circuit, and checkpoint races, as well as a new crash course feature set up like a school of driving. This game is both challenging and fun. The textures and graphics are done well and the new engine relieves the quirks of the old engine from the first game. Overall, a great game that has every car from a mini cooper classic, to new vamped up VW bugs and a Aston Martin DB7 Vatange.

MM2 is AWSOME!

dude this game is soooooooooooooooo much cooler then the first. if you had trouble unlocking the cars in the first game, you'll like this game! You start out with a lot of the cars you had to unlock in MM1. The graphics are so cool. It also has damage stuff like bumpers that come off. Twice the cities, twice the cars, twice the fun!

It's a lot cooler

This game is even better than midtown madness 2! Beta Edition was really anonimous and calligraphistycal. Last but not least, it's really greater than the greatest game ever (by Microsoft)and that was Midtown 2! Go buy it! Here!

Anytime, Any Place, It rocks!

Midtown Madness 2 is possibly the best game I have ever played in my life! I could tell it was going to be the best game ever by the main menu! You can do a blitz, Checkpoint race, multiplayer, crise, and hers the new one, Driving School. In the Driving School you can do San Fransisco Stunt Driving, and London Cab Driver School. Suppose you select cruise, another menu follows that and you select a city, London, Or San Fransisco. Now I bet all of you are saying, "Ow man, there's only 2 tracks??" But what you dont realize is that these "two tracks" are fully modeled and detailed full size cities. Aftre you get past the location menu you can select 1 of 25 cars including the Audi TT, Mini Cooper, Aston Martin DB7 Vantage, London Cab, Freightliner Fire Truck, even a double decker bus, Hummer, Beetle RSI, Beetle Dune, plus all of the cars from the original Midtown Madness. In the outcome, I would give this game 10 stars (If I could!) Please buy this game. You will be pleasently suprised!

Midtown Madness is very addicting

Midtown Madness 2 is the best stress reliever. This is Road Rage you can get away with, without going to jailed or being killed or anybody else being hurt. I recommend it to air out your frustrations in real life. The choice of automobiles are awesome. Just wish i had a couple of the sports cars.

Overrated but fun

Racing in the middle of a city is a great idea and can be a lot of fun, but this game is not as good as it cold be.

First, the cities will only appeal to those who have never visited them. For those of us who have, Golden Gate and Hyde parks seem grossly out of proportion and practically barren. In case of London, the map should be larger, in San Francisco, at least part of the town around the other end of Golden Gate Bridge should be rendered. Instead of two cities, I'd like to see one city fully and correctly rendered in version 3, and enough of boring American cities. How about doing Rome or Paris for a change?

The game is quite playable with a joystick, but you have to program it in the options menu to separate the throttle from steering. If you don't you won't be able to handle the sharp corners typical of most races.

The tests for unlocking the top cars are at times too tough and too acrobatic, and neither car physics nor graphics are as good as they are in Need for Speed games. For example, you can't even see the hood of your car in front as you drive in any of the models.

This game is good for some laughs, but if you want superb graphics and an exhilarating feel every time you play, I recommend Need for Speed.
