Midtown madness full version download

Which are blitz, checkpoint, cruise and circuit. In the Blitz mode you need to reach to the destination within a given time.

In the circuit mode you need to race with other vehicles. Also, In checkpoint mode you will have to race with the other vehicles. While in the cruise mode you are free to explore the city and can go anywhere you need to go.

There are a total of ten vehicles in this race but in the beginning of the game there are only five vehicles available and the other five will be unlocked. It's very well done though, and effortlessly conveys the sense of being in a fully functioning, living city.

Planes fly overhead, traffic stops at red lights, and the police even have their own network. City simulation is a different game altogether though, and what we're talking here is action-packed racing, the game featuring a variety of different modes, with success unlocking further vehicles and tracks. Circuit races are over charted courses, with other roads blocked off; Blitz races take place against the clock; and Checkpoint races involve clearing all points before your opponents.

The latter two modes take place with incidental traffic in full effect, often leading to the midtown madness of the title. The police obviously take a dim view of unauthorised street races, and once alerted to a felony will be all over you like a cheap suit. Having a police car slew across your path with the finish line in sight is enough to provoke a wry grin at best, and a volley of foul and abusive language at worst. However, the cops appear to be graduates of The Blues Brothers' school of motoring, and the artificial stupidity has been particularly well-implemented.

There's much fun to be had in giving them the runaround, and great satisfaction to be gleaned from glancing into the rear-view mirror to see a police car drive straight into the bollard that you've expertly negotiated. In fact, in some races you can actually plan your route in order to avoid the busies. Chicago may be synonymous with wind, but rain and snow play their part here, and driving is noticeably affected by adverse weather conditions.

It's a case of horses for courses, and the ten vehicles on offer have genuinely different characteristics in terms of handling, speed, durability and so forth. And if you simply want to put your choice of vehicle through its paces, as well as learn the intricacies of the city, the Cruise mode enables you to do just that.

In fact it's quite easy to crank up the tunes see Music Sounds Better With You panel and spend an hour simply cruising around, either legally or otherwise.

Clearly, there's more fun to be had in the latter, and there's plenty of scope for it, be it jumping the odd red light or playing chicken on the freeway. And to add variety, the density of police, traffic and pedestrians can all be altered. It's a comparison that's been used before, but Midtown Madness is as close as any game has come to recreating ITV's Police, Camera, ActionlJhe carnage is relentless, and although some of it is scripted to an extent, moments of pure comedy occur naturally, although this being a Microsoft game no one actually gets hurt.

Of course, the cynics will dismiss it as Carmageddon Lite, berating the fact that pedestrians leap out of the way instead of exploding over your windscreen like a big bag of blood. However, if pretending to run over pretend pedestrians in a pretend car is one of your criteria for a piece of entertainment, then it might be worth taking a look at what's missing from your life. Midtown Madness is anarchic fun, plain and simple, as well as being on the right side of challenging.

The balance of vehicles is superb, and some ingenious design has gone into the courses. And if you're thinking that the game looks a bit like the forthcoming Driver, you'd be absolutely right, and the inclusion of a classic muscle car provides a further parallel.

We're still expecting Driver to be a superb game as are GT, having splashed out a million pounds on a TV ad , and judging by what we've seen, it should be. Until it's released though, Midtown Madness more than fills the gap and is as refreshing a game as its pseudo predecessor Motocross Madness was.

We said it then and we'll say it again: Microsoft in good game shock. You don't have to be mad to work there, but Microsoft do seem to have a worrying obsession with madness. Fortunately not in the form of dangerous psychosis, but with the wacky, zany, knockabout version. First up was the white trashpleasing Monster Truck Madness - which even spawned a sequel - followed by the majestic Motocross Madness, which proved to be a thing of grace and beauty.

The third instalment in the series involves an array of cars and trucks, and as product planner Mike Deardsen says: "It just continues that great off-the-wall racing tradition. We've got a fun topic here, which is unrestricted racing in a real modelled city. That city is modern-day Chicago, and it comes replete with fully functioning traffic, police systems, pedestrians, trains, planes, automobiles and even retractable bridges, as well as over 80 accurately represented landmarks.

Almost every object - including trash cans rubbish bins , light pools lamp posts? Full weather systems are also in place, and the snow even accumulates in the winter, clearly affecting vehicle traction and handling. I didn't need force feedback to shake while playing. I used the Microsoft Freestyle Pro joystick, which allows you to physically move the joystick to move the car. Turn the joystick right, the car moves with you. I found control extremely smooth and the cars easy to maneuver.

This title is a must-buy for the driving game enthusiast, and a definite candidate for even those not into the 'racing' genre. The game is much more than just a 'racer', and will have you hooked in no time. Graphics: Great graphics. The moving sky, the different environments day, night, weather conditions , the buildings.. The only drawback was how reflective all the cars were.

Overall, very well done. Sound: Fantastic soundtrack that'll have you grooving to the beat. Every sound needed to make the game as real as possible has been added. People yell at you, cars honk their horns, and metal on metal definitely screeches. An aural pleasure! Enjoyment: Fun, fun, fun. The game is so much more than just a 'racer'. Unfortunately, you could only race in Chicago. I would have liked to see other settings in the game. Replay Value: If there's one thing about driving games, it's that they get better the more you play them.

Taking the mustang police cruiser for a spin on the first race will really put your contenders in their place. Was playing it on windows 98 back in Chandrakanth 1 point. Yuvraj Singh 0 point. Rohit Kamle 0 point. Rocky Sir points. This game is really bad!
