Sound: Fantastic soundtrack that'll have you grooving to the beat. The only drawback was how reflective all the cars were. The moving sky, the different environments (day, night, weather conditions), the buildings. The game is much more than just a 'racer', and will have you hooked in no time. This title is a must-buy for the driving game enthusiast, and a definite candidate for even those not into the 'racing' genre. I found control extremely smooth and the cars easy to maneuver. Turn the joystick right, the car moves with you.

I used the Microsoft Freestyle Pro joystick, which allows you to physically move the joystick to move the car. I didn't need force feedback to shake while playing. I can predict a slew of Midtown Madness add-ons in the near future. You started and finished and took different routes throughout the city, but it would have been nice to go in some other settings. One of the main drawbacks, however, was that the map was the same for the whole game.

Whether behind the wheel of my Cadillac Eldorado or in the driver's seat of the bus, I was free to explore the landmarks of Chicago and meet some of the locals, who were too busy jumping out of the way to wave hello.

Being able to take the cars where I wanted without a timer or anything expected of me was great fun. You'll find the bus slow, but strong as an oak (or a city tree, for that matter).Д¬ruise mode was one of the best features in the game. The city bus on the other hand can be run into oncoming traffic on the freeway, and still drive away relatively unscathed. Driving the Beetle, you'll notice how quickly it zigs and zags, but will also notice that it can't take much before falling apart. Accidents are by far one of the best aspects of the game. If you enjoy watching those 'Worlds Greatest Car Crash' shows, you'll love playing one. The reasoning behind making the trees so strong was lost on me. This was one source of major annoyance, and a certain lapse of the 'virtual reality' that is effectively painted in Midtown Madness. For some reason, a toothpick city tree will stop even a city bus as sure as a building would.

Traffic lights will topple if you run into them, cars will spin around if you hit them (for best results, use the bus) and buildings will stop you dead in your tracks. You can, however, plow into anything you see. The people in Midtown Madness have more moves than Jackie Chan and will flip, jump, and hug the buildings to avoid you. At times, my vehicle looked like it was crafted of coloured chrome, being far too reflective and sometimes showing a reflection I couldn't match to a source.Дon't count on bouncing someone off your hood. No doubt this was a sacrifice that had to be made to make the game playable, but it was something I really noticed. Player cars are well detailed, but the other motorists' cars lack significant detail. Midtown Madness possesses superb, immersive graphics such as different times of day, and weather conditions, including snow and rain. Opponents will split off on sidestreets trying to find shortcuts, attempt to bang into you to knock you out of commission, and try everything in their power to get across the finish line first. If you're racing, however, you'll be looking to outsmart your opponents, not just outdrive them.

The non-player drivers do act like normal motorists, ignorant to most of the stuff happening around you.

You'll get a dose of reality however if you cut someone off, drive too close, or run into them, with the other drivers hurling insults and exclamations your way. Cars actually signal before changing lanes, wait at reds, and obey traffic laws. The game is set in a cleaner, friendlier Chicago. The game possesses cars for the truly power-hungry however you must earn the right to 'unlock' the truly cool ones by placing in top positions of certain races.

Most of the time, my car stopped while the tires and metallic debris kept going. There was many a time I brought my shiny little car around a corner, wrenched on the handbrake and slid sideways into a stopped car. Zipping around in the New Volkswagen Beetle, taking hairpin turns, and dodging both oncoming traffic and cars in my lane was a pulse-pounding experience. The fourth in Microsoft's 'Madness' series, Midtown Madness rises above predecessors Monster Truck Madness 1, Monster Truck Madness 2, and Motocross Madness, with fast action, a whole new level of realism, and pedestrians who leap for their lives. Once the funky bass-laden music strums across your speakers, you'll be tapping your toes and grooving through the streets of Chicago. Midtown Madness puts you in the driver's seat, straps you in, and lets you know you're in for something special.
