Midtown Madness 2 for Windows

Pros: Good Gameplay, Lots of built-in Cars, Detailed Cities, Lots of Fun
Cons: Bad graphics on slower cards, some glitches

Midtown Madness 2 is a very good game, and while there are some problems, it is definitely worth the money.

Graphics
Midtown Madness 2 is nothing special in the way of graphics. With a good or higher then average, or even normal...

Pros: Easy to learn.
Cons: Poor sound and graphics; gets borring horribly fast; gameplay sucks.

General/Summary:
If there was no Midtown Madness 1, I would perhaps be a little more generous to its crappy sequel. But, considering the fact that Midtown Madness 1 exists, and it's an excellent game, I will show no mercy on Midtown Madness...

Pros: great detail, realistic, many options.
Cons: Some cars start out locked, and you have to win them

Living in San Francisco and previously in London I was always hoping for a game that allowed my to tear through the streets of my hometown. When I read about Midtown Madness 2 on the Microsoft web site I was eagerly awaiting the day that this game was...

Pros: better than the first
Cons: like all games, will get boring in time

Midtown Madness 2

This, being the sequel to Microsoft’s winning game Midtown Madness, they had a great idea to remake the game with more features and faster game play. It once again worked, and it is a hit. Midtown Madness 2 from...

Pros: graphics, sound, coolness, huge maps..
Cons: its distinct lack of realism of any kind :)

2 solid weeks of this game, and I'm absolutely sold - I'm a great advocate of the theory that games, especially driving games that feature real cars, should have as much realism as possible, however not when it's an obvious arcade game as this is. It's...

Pros: More cars, more roads, more announcers
Cons: Races are too easy with some cars, graphics barely improved, horrible music

I'm going to come right out and say this. Midtown Madness 2 improves on its predecessor in almost every way imaginable.

In case you weren't familiar with the original, it had you racing like crazy around the streets of Chicago, running to...

Pros: Excellent scenery and great gameplay
Cons: Sometimes hitting a huge truck while driving a regular car sends the truck flying. Realistic??

Finally, the long awaited Midtown Madness 2 is out! Ever since the first Midtown Madness came out I have been waiting and waiting for new cities to be programmed. I was thinking some kind of add on would come out but a whole new version is fine because...

Pros: Graphics, game play are fun!
Cons: Not much that I could find. I like the game!

Enter Midtown Madness 2 - everything you loved in Midtown Madness set in San Francisco and London. Microsoft has again taken the evolutionary approach to software design: milk a little more out of each successive release rather than a complete overhaul....

Pros: Frantic action, good graphics, freedom to roam
Cons: Most cars aren't competetive, no real longevity

Midtown Madness 2 has a lot to live up to. Its predecessor was a ground breaking contribution which effected the genre in a manner matched only, perhaps, by the original release of Carmageddon. Freedom to roam was blended superbly with arcade like action...

Pros: Great fun arcade game
Cons: short and doesn't take long to complete

Midtown Madness is a great arcade racing game where you race, usually to checkpoints, as fast as you can. The game calls it self ‘no rules’ racing. This is because you can do anything to win, including ramming your opponents of the track, and taking...

Pros: 2 Cities (SF & London), Fun, Multiplayer, Downloadable Cars & Tracks
Cons: Graphics Aren't Very Good

Midtown Madness 2 is a great game and always has been. You are free to cruise around San Francisco or London and do whatever you want: blow red lights, speed, hit cars, etc. Aside from a few organized races (actually, there are quite a few, but they ...

Pros: More realistic, more cars, better game play
Cons: Less sense of "knowing the area", still missing some features, still some oddities

Midtown Madness 2 is a great improvement over the original Midtown Madness. The original was hard enough to put down, and the sequel is even harder to let go! The new cars have realistic exteriors and interiors, but the most immediately noticeable...

Pros: Graphics are superb!!
Cons: Runs slow, with a Celeron Processor

This game was completely wow-inspiring. When I first brought the game, just by looking at the box, I knew this would be a great game!:) The installation process was simple, and the game very quick to get attached to! After about an hour, I was hugging...

Pros: Great mapping, very accurate physics
Cons: Choppy graphics

When I saw this game out, I had to buy it, knowing how good Midtown Madness was. Lets just say, Midtown Madness 2 isn't a disappointment.

The game sets you up in either London, England or San Francisco, California....

Pros: Totally fun!
Cons: Difficult to unlock great cars

I don't consider myself a racing fan, and I am not really into cars, but this is the funnest game that I have played in a long time.

First of all, I am 33 years old. Have a wife, a child, and a mortgage. I don't have a lot of time for computer...
