I have never seen such an idea in my life! I like other people will have an idea and say to ourselves, that would make a great game, but this time someone had an idea and let it out to microsolft and they added top of the line sound and grafics. T This is the best racing simulation I have ever seen! I downloaded the trial version first and I loved it. Thats what made buying the full version even better because it is like adding on to a great game! I say look no more, buy this game!

Wonderful product-hope to see more like it

Midtown Madness is one of those few computer games which you buy and just cannot stop playing. Others get boring, but with MM, the fun remains. The only real competitors this game has are NFS V and Driver. It beats both hands down. I am a driving sim addict-those are the only computer games I play most of the time. Due to this, I have played literally hundreds of driving games, including the computer and PS versions of NFS V and Driver. For a computer game to beat a PS game (I use a keyboard for my computer; no joystick or steering wheel) is *very* rare, but MM achieves this with not a competitor even coming close to it's realism, stability and sheer fun. MM gives you a whole city to drive in-no limits to where you can go, no wrong way, no out of bounds... other games give you 10 or 11 tracks. MM gives you a whole city-and with MM2, they gave you 2! NFS V loses out here. MM has only a few cars (in MM2, they added more) but even with those, the realism of their handling, bumps, engine trouble, noises, damage... is wonderful. Both NFS V and Driver's graphics are better than this, but Driver only gives you one car, so... And besides, you can always download other cars. The competition in MM races is fierce, with the competitors using their cars against your weak points, fishtailing you, bashing you up, cutting you off... The only thing is that the police are *really*, *really* dumb-even the ones in Driver are better Overall, this game passes with flying colours in other fields, but the big test is stability. On my P-III 550 with 64 MB, the game flew, with no crashes and no dropped scenes. On my P-II 450 laptop with 32 MB, the game was only a little worse, with a few pauses and dropped scenes, but nothing major. Compare this to NFS V on the laptop, which crashed the system every time I started it, and Driver, which would freeze after about 1 hour, and the results look good. So, my verdict would be 9.5 on 10, but I gave it a 5 star rating, because there is no option for halves or quarters. I say buy it; I have had it for 6 months and am *very* happy.

Driving Fun

If you've ever wanted to knock telephone poles, send pedestrians scattering and crash through other cars, then this is the game for you. Midtown Madness is tons of fun and you can choose from a variety of cars such as the new Volkswagen bug and a city bus. You can race in many different races such as a circuit race, a checkpoint race and a blitz race (where you race the clock instead of other cars). The best feature? The cruise mode, where you can drive around the city of Chicago free of opposing cars and ticking clocks and crash into things. Personally, I found a couple of flaws with this game. First: after playing this for awhile, the city seems very small and I got tired of it. However, this was solved when the second Midtown Madness was released :) Second: Most of the cars are "locked" and can only be unlocked when certain races are won...sort of like a reward. One problem - what about the people who are horrible at racing (namely me)? I moved on to Midtown Madness 2 with about half of the cars still locked. Hmmmmmph. However, Midtown Madness has many pros. The driving is very, very realistic and Chicago is incredibily detailed. The cars that are featured (well, the ones I could get unlocked anyway) are very good selections, ranging anywhere from a city bus to a Ford Mustang. I give this product 4 stars because, while it may have a few flaws, it is overall a very fun game which I would reccomend getting. Have fun!

great

It has been many years since I lived in that great city and it was nice to get this and see it again, albeit animated. They even have one of the buildings that I used to live at. Unfortunately I gave this game to a friend who is also from the Chicago area.

AWESOME

This game is awesome! Even though it is outdated for it's time it had pretty good graphics that don't get too much better. You can race different kinds of races or just cruise. When I played it I downloaded tracks and cars off the net, and it made it even better I still play it now and I've had it since it first came out. I haven't played midtown madness 2 yet but I'm sure it's just as good. it must be if they had this one to build off of and they built off of it right. I'd recomend it to anyone that likes to race or just cruise it is especially fun with a steering wheel.

Awesome!!!

personally it think the game is very fun....but its like remote contol cars. The reality of the cars performance is not real life but if you were to compare it to the game driver would beat it more more realistic damgage and more realitic performance and beter cop chases. Midtown madness is pretty much for tweaks and cars to be made but if you want a cop chasing game I recomend Driver

Best Game in the World
