My brother and I got hooked on Midtown Madness years ago, when my dad let us test his client's new computer. Granted, we did little more than test Midtown Madness.

Someone once asked me what I do when I need "emotional refuge." Answer: play Midtown Madness. Yes, of course that's crazy, but it's true. Caroming down the streets of Chicago is incredibly cathartic and always a fresh experience.

The city is vast (but not vast enough, of course), with many shortcuts and "break-throughs," like driving through the glass walls of the mall. The race modes include Cruise mode (ram down the traffic, or empty the city completely, if you so desire...), Checkpoint, Blitz, and Circuit. Also, there is a multiplayer mode, but I've never explored that, so I won't comment on it.

Having played Midtown Madness and Midtown Madness 2, I honestly prefer the former. Granted, there are far too few cars, and they're difficult (but not impossible) to control with the keyboard (my brother took the joystick with him when he moved out...). Perhaps it's because I was baptized by MM1, I don't know, but it simply is the first, the best.

I was going to give this game 4 stars because of the few cars, but then I remembered the well-done graphics and the days on days I've spent playing this game. So I gave it an extra half-star for that.

And I always round UP. So, *****/***** Good Stuff!!

This is the best game ever!

This game is fantastic,and not to expensive. It has excellent great looking graphics,which are better than the game driver. Choose from different vehicles,choose whether you want more cops or less,the weather,and how much traffic on the road. It is great for just taking a drive on the road,i love it. Or great for just a spin.

This is One of the best games ever

When I played the demo of this game I couldnt wait until my mom bought me the regular game. I dont know why but I loved how I could change the weather.(that was one of the main reasons why I bought the regular game)And i wanted to explore chigago of what it was.
I must say that this was the most adventuest games that i have every played in my whole life. THANK YOU THE MAKES OF THE GAME!!

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 Even though it is outdated for it's time it had pretty good graphics that don't get too much better.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.

Chicago, Chicago, that toddlin town

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.

Fun game

I played this game at my friends house one time. And i liked it so much i decided to buy it. Its a fun game, but the only problem is that when your car gets damaged it doesn't look real. It also runs slow sometimes. But besides that i enjoy this game.

AN AWSOME GAME!

This is a pretty nifty little peice of software, espcially since that the graphics are so good, for the price anyway. To me the driving realistic enough to make you think that it's real, but not so unrealistic that you think that your driving on air through a stack of concreate blocks and moving plastic ones with no windows or headlights. The only complaint I have is that it gets pretty old after a while. I've had it for about two or three years and I have gotten tired of it. It'll keep you entertained for about two years, though.

great
