READY TO GET WILD?

Welcome to Midtown Madness 2, the sensible cure for the crabbycommuter, and look what’s new for Version 2:

Two new highly detailed & interactive cities, London and SanFrancisco, modeled for maximum maneuvers and metalmunching whether you’re tearing through Trafalgar Square orlevitating along Lombard Street.

10 new campy urban roadsters, ranging from a double-deckerbus to the Audi TT to the zippy New Beetle Dune, with moredetailed damage modeling and breakaway parts, and improvedphysics and handling performance.

With the all-new Crash Course mode, you can jump in thedriver’s seat as an aspiring Hollywood stunt driver or as anapprentice London cabbie. Whichever course you choose, you’llbuild useful Madness driving skills while unlocking cool paintjobs, vehicles, and challenging exam races.

You’ll hear expanded gameplay commentary from an eclecticmix of London and San Francisco personalities.

Plus all the classic race types from the original Midtown Madnesshave been revved up and retooled for righteous roadway action.Cruise, Checkpoint, Blitz, and Circuit races: they’re all back, andthey’re better than ever!
