READY TO GET WILD?

Welcome to Midtown Madness 2, the sensible cure for the crabby

commuter, and look what’s new for Version 2:

Two new highly detailed & interactive cities, London and San

Francisco, modeled for maximum maneuvers and metal

munching whether you’re tearing through Trafalgar Square or

levitating along Lombard Street.

10 new campy urban roadsters, ranging from a double-decker

bus to the Audi TT to the zippy New Beetle Dune, with more

detailed damage modeling and breakaway parts, and improved

physics and handling performance.

With the all-new Crash Course mode, you can jump in the

driver’s seat as an aspiring Hollywood stunt driver or as an

apprentice London cabbie. Whichever course you choose, you’ll

build useful Madness driving skills while unlocking cool paint

jobs, vehicles, and challenging exam races.

You’ll hear expanded gameplay commentary from an eclectic

mix of London and San Francisco personalities.

Plus all the classic race types from the original Midtown Madness

have been revved up and retooled for righteous roadway action.

Cruise, Checkpoint, Blitz, and Circuit races: they’re all back, and

they’re better than ever!

You can also zoom your map views in and out using the E key. And, if you want
