Yes, it doesn't add much that's new but -- oh, let progress be damned.... Love this game. It. Is. Fun.

Music is absent from the game, but you probably won't notice that either with the sounds of revving engines, squealing tires, and flying trashcans filling your ears.

Mm2 go brrrrrr Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

This was a really fun driving game. It let you drive in the city along the traffic, escape the police, do stunts and just generally fool around. It was really difficult game but also quite fun. The cars were quite realistic for that time. It was mainly driving for fun: the police didn't do anything to you and the car was soon repaired after getting broken. So it's a laid back car simulator.

One of the best arcade racers to come out in a long time. Strap yourselves in and take a test drive.

It's not a vast improvement over the original, but it's just as fun. [Dec 2000, p.168]

Whether you call it an arcade racer or a city driving simulation, I call it good fun.

As Samuel Johnson once said, “He who has not played "Midtown Madness" will find this game a treat indeed; others may be visited by an unsettling sense of déjà vu.” And that’s also a direct quote. I think.

Because of the innate appeal of driving over, under, and through other vehicles and buildings, Midtown Madness 2 feels like the best game in the world—for a few days or hours at least.

Potentially the best arcade racer of all time, great AI, great setting, great cars, the physics are fun to mess around with, and you can easily download more cars and tracks to drive on from various sites on the internet which are still active today. A certified must play from me.

An absolute classic. Better than the first game in terms of the selection of vehicles and maps, but MAN, is it hard. It's definitely not a game that you can just complete in one long run because of its difficulty, but that's the whole beauty of it. It's a game that is surely to keep you entertained for more than just a day, especially with the addition of Cruise mode. Have you ever wanted to play a game where you can tear through San Francisco or London at 130+ MPH? Then this is for you. You can also mod the game by simply placing a few files in the game's base directory to spice things up even more. And although it hasn't aged as well as other games, it's certainly worth a try even today, and I see myself going back to play it again and again. It's just fun!

Single Player is boring, but the Multiplayer is one of the best! Cops vs. Robbers: Find the Gold and deliver it. There is a very big modding community. So after 10 years you can get the newest cars in you game :)

Too much nostalgia. I love this game and it's a great racing game for the potatoe master race. If you have this game, you should be proud on yourself.

Summary Delivers even more madcap excitement with all the hair-raising racing challenges you've come to expect -- plus two all-new locations (London & San Francisco), nine hip new urban roadsters, and the new single-player Crash Course mission mode where budding drivers can learn and master the tricks of Madness racing.
