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.ĭon'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.
