Midtown Madness Pc Game

Racing games have become a dime a dozen on the PC and, to be perfectly honest, most of them suck (just ask our very own Stephen Butts ... he's been the delegated racing reviewer for about three months because we've all gotten sick of them around the office and, well, he's the new guy so he has to take a few kicks in the belly). Well, with Midtown Madness, Microsoft and Angel Studios has broken the mold and has offered up a lot of fun at the office lately, so much that the console freaks (specifically Matt and Craig) are starting to see the PC in a whole new light.

Midtown Madness takes place in the windy city, Chicago. Angel Studios has done a great job of portraying a decent portion of the downtown area, with Lakeshore Dr. and I-90 forming the borders of the playing field, and there are lots of famous landmarks on the map. Those of you familiar with Chicago will have no problem making your way from Wrigley Field to Soldier Field, and you may even want to make a stop at Navy Pier on your way. Admittedly, some portions of the city do look very generic, but overall the downtown portion of Chicago is portrayed very accurately and the designers did a great job of mixing authenticity with smooth gameplay.
