Midtown madness 2 pc download

Midtown Madness 2 is a madcap driving sim that puts a focus on street racing and stunt driving through busy urban areas.

Like its predecessor, Midtown Madness 2 offers a variety of vehicles, courses and modes to blast through at dangerous speeds.

Gameplay is largely unchanged from the previous installment, offering simple controls that are easy to learn in a racer that is difficult to master. Though opinion is divided on vehicle handling, I found the controls and overall handling of vehicles to be superior in Midtown Madness 2 with less tendency to have the back-end come out from under me in the turns.

Graphics are about the same as the original; except I experienced more issues with monitor flashing at the higher settings than in the previous installment. Minimal graphic settings with maximum draw distances, however, run fine without any flashes and have an adequate overall quality.

A big change over the predecessor are two "training" modes which, in fact, serve as story modes for the game; in one you play as a London cabbie learning the ropes, the roundabouts, and all the tricks as you blow through virtual London, while the other you are a stunt driver for action movies.

Midtown Madness 2 is a lot of fun and the story modes offer something for players looking for more than simple racing and challenge modes.
