There's full fledged character development that unfolds as you take your hero through a variety of careers. The career mode is intended to improve on the stunt driving and cabbie single player missions seen in Midtown Madness 2 on PC. It will be interesting to see how this balance plays out if and when Midtown Madness 3's online component is developed. The fast cars can be even faster and the strong trucks can be even more powerful. The fringe benefit of this is that Digital Illusions can tune the vehicles even more since they won't have to worry about unfair advantages in the single player mode. This way if you absolutely love driving those big sluggish vehicles, you'll be competing against those same slow and enjoyable power monsters. If you pick a sports car you'll be matched up with a field of similar speedy vehicles rather than a mixture of slow, but powerful trucks and whatnot. This game mode, online will rock.Įnhancements to the single player modes include better balancing on the Blitz and Checkpoint modes. With the gold sitting their in the street, the madness would start all over again. Of course, on the way to that drop off point, any collision with an "enemy" car (cops couldn't hurt cops and vice versa) would cause you to cough up the gold on the spot. Once the gold was picked up it would have to be delivered to either a hideout (for the robbers) or the bank (for the cops).

In the PC games this mode put up to eight players, hopefully an equal number of player in police cars (the Cops) and players in non-police cars (the Robbers), against each other chasing after a pot of gold. But the fact that the lovable "Cops & Robbers" mode is back, is reason enough to be excited. This is basically a re-application of the "hideouts" seen in the "Cops & Robbers" multiplayer mode which, by the way, is making its triumphant return in Midtown Madness 3.įull details on the potential online multiplayer component of Midtown Madness 3 will have to wait until Microsoft reveals more about Xbox Live.

Cool powerups and goodies, like new skins for your car, can be found in the craziest places, like some narrow dead-end back alley or underneath some bridge.

Checkpoint is more or less a race though the city but you have to follow the prescribed course by hitting a series of checkpoints in order.Ĭruise is Midtown Madness' version of free ride, but for MM3 there will be added incentive to explore Washington and Paris.

How you get there, as far as taking shortcuts or brutally bashing your enemy, is up to you. Blitz racing basically requires you to cross a finish line at some distant point in the city before every other competitor. The different race modes should be familiar to veterans of Midtown Madness, but this Xbox version should be going after an entirely new audience.
