Midtown Madness puts you in the driver's seat, straps you in, and lets you know you're in for something special. Once the funky bass-laden music strums across your speakers, you'll be tapping your toes and grooving through the streets of Chicago. 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. The game is quick.
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. 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. Most of the time, my car stopped while the tires and metallic debris kept going. 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.
The game is set in a cleaner, friendlier Chicago. Cars actually signal before changing lanes, wait at reds, and obey traffic laws. 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.
The non-player drivers do act like normal motorists, ignorant to most of the stuff happening around you. If you're racing, however, you'll be looking to outsmart your opponents, not just outdrive them. 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. Midtown Madness possesses superb, immersive graphics such as different times of day, and weather conditions, including snow and rain.
Player cars are well detailed, but the other motorists' cars lack significant detail. No doubt this was a sacrifice that had to be made to make the game playable, but it was something I really noticed. 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.
Don't count on bouncing someone off your hood. The people in Midtown Madness have more moves than Jackie Chan and will flip, jump, and hug the buildings to avoid you. You can, however, plow into anything you see. 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..
For some reason, a toothpick city tree will stop even a city bus as sure as a building would. This was one source of major annoyance, and a certain lapse of the 'virtual reality' that is effectively painted in Midtown Madness.
The reasoning behind making the trees so strong was lost on me. If you enjoy watching those 'Worlds Greatest Car Crash' shows, you'll love playing one. You can easily find your front-end missing and possibly dragged several blocks with your hood bouncing up and down, threatening to fly off its hinges. Windows shatter, trunks pop open and the guy at the detailing shop is just licking his chops when he sees all those dents. Made for the no frills-user, Midtown Madness 3 features really solid Xbox Live support.
You simply select multiplayer and your account is located and logged in. You can hop right into a Quick Match or you can choose Optimatch, which allows you to fine tune your search down to race type, skill level, city and other options. You can even drop right into a race without waiting for it to be completed, so there is no waiting. All the cars are available though the host may block a few rides regardless of whether or not you have unlocked them.
The driver who remains prey for the longest time wins. Standard player vs. Gold is spawned somewhere in the city. The driver who snags it must then cart it safely to his brightly marked pen placed elsewhere in the city.
But all it takes is a well-placed collision for your claim to be jumped, a great catalyst for chaos. The host can also place a weight on the gold to further burden the gold-fevered racer. Sabry90 0 point. Posso sapere per favore come scaricarlo per giocare nel mio telfono?

Pedestrians are reactive, and will dive out of the way when you get close; GTA sadists may be disappointed that you can't actually squa.

Raman 0 point. Bringing the madness to Xbox Live is Midtown Madness 3 , which, for lack of a better term, is your father's racing title. Taking whole cloth from the look and feel of the previous Midtown Madness titles, you can once again drive through the streets like a madman, reveling in arcade racing glory.
While the physics are far from perfect, it's a combination of strong multiplayer gameplay and excellent graphics that make this a title worth getting, if only just so. First, let me warn you away from the single player mode. Without a doubt, this is the game's biggest weakness, featuring boring, repetitive missions, and the worst voice action this side of Aliens: A Comic Book Adventure. You'll be able take jobs in Washington DC or Paris, and all along the way, be forced to sit through terrible scripted dialogue.
After the mission where you've got to chauffer around an old lady in Paris, you'll want to sell your copy of the game.
