Download Midtown Madness - Windows XP/98/95 game

Midtown Madness turns the streets of Chicago into one enormous playground for chaotic driving, where racing is only one of several excellent excuses to ignore traffic laws. Players can choose from a variety of vehicles and race through the city, competing in events or simply causing spectacular automotive mischief. The open environment makes every session unpredictable, with shortcuts, pedestrians, and ordinary traffic constantly interfering with your carefully planned route. It is fast, funny, and wonderfully liberating. Few racing games make getting lost feel like part of the entertainment, but this one practically encourages it.

Midtown Madness review

PC Zone (2001): "Midtown Madness is anarchic fun, plain and simple, as well as being on the right side of challenging. The balance of vehicles is superb, and some ingenious design has gone into the courses. And if you're thinking that the game looks a bit like the forthcoming Driver, you'd be absolutely right, and the inclusion of a classic muscle car provides a further parallel."

Computer Games Magazine (1999): "Internet play is a saving grace for this game—a multiplayer-only "cops and robbers" race variant makes up for a lot of shortcomings in the single-player races. Players choose teams (cops or robbers) or go it alone in a race to recover a bar of gold and carry it back to their headquarters. It has all the excitement and chaos of a downtown car chase, with less of the frustrating randomness of the single-player race modes. It is a pity that this variant is not present in the single-player games—it might have brought this title closer to the greatness it deserves."

Retro gamer collector's corner:

Midtown Madness spawned a series of the same name, the second entry of which, Midtown Madness 2, was developed by Angel Studios and released in September 2000. Another sequel, Midtown Madness 3, was developed by Digital Illusions CE for the Xbox and published in June 2003.
