The police obviously take a dim view of unauthorised street races, and once alerted to a felony will be all over you like a cheap suit. Having a police car slew across your path with the finish line in sight is enough to provoke a wry grin at best, and a volley of foul and abusive language at worst. However, the cops appear to be graduates of The Blues Brothers' school of motoring, and the artificial stupidity has been particularly well-implemented.
There's much fun to be had in giving them the runaround, and great satisfaction to be gleaned from glancing into the rear-view mirror to see a police car drive straight into the bollard that you've expertly negotiated.
In fact, in some races you can actually plan your route in order to avoid the busies. Chicago may be synonymous with wind, but rain and snow play their part here, and driving is noticeably affected by adverse weather conditions. It's a case of horses for courses, and the ten vehicles on offer have genuinely different characteristics in terms of handling, speed, durability and so forth.
And if you simply want to put your choice of vehicle through its paces, as well as learn the intricacies of the city, the Cruise mode enables you to do just that. In fact it's quite easy to crank up the tunes see Music Sounds Better With You panel and spend an hour simply cruising around, either legally or otherwise. Clearly, there's more fun to be had in the latter, and there's plenty of scope for it, be it jumping the odd red light or playing chicken on the freeway.
And to add variety, the density of police, traffic and pedestrians can all be altered. It's a comparison that's been used before, but Midtown Madness is as close as any game has come to recreating ITV's Police, Camera, ActionlJhe carnage is relentless, and although some of it is scripted to an extent, moments of pure comedy occur naturally, although this being a Microsoft game no one actually gets hurt.
Of course, the cynics will dismiss it as Carmageddon Lite, berating the fact that pedestrians leap out of the way instead of exploding over your windscreen like a big bag of blood. However, if pretending to run over pretend pedestrians in a pretend car is one of your criteria for a piece of entertainment, then it might be worth taking a look at what's missing from your life.
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. We're still expecting Driver to be a superb game as are GT, having splashed out a million pounds on a TV ad , and judging by what we've seen, it should be.
Until it's released though, Midtown Madness more than fills the gap and is as refreshing a game as its pseudo predecessor Motocross Madness was. We said it then and we'll say it again: Microsoft in good game shock.
You don't have to be mad to work there, but Microsoft do seem to have a worrying obsession with madness. Fortunately not in the form of dangerous psychosis, but with the wacky, zany, knockabout version. First up was the white trashpleasing Monster Truck Madness - which even spawned a sequel - followed by the majestic Motocross Madness, which proved to be a thing of grace and beauty.
The third instalment in the series involves an array of cars and trucks, and as product planner Mike Deardsen says: "It just continues that great off-the-wall racing tradition. We've got a fun topic here, which is unrestricted racing in a real modelled city. That city is modern-day Chicago, and it comes replete with fully functioning traffic, police systems, pedestrians, trains, planes, automobiles and even retractable bridges, as well as over 80 accurately represented landmarks.
Almost every object - including trash cans rubbish bins , light pools lamp posts? Full weather systems are also in place, and the snow even accumulates in the winter, clearly affecting vehicle traction and handling. Midtown Madness offers ten different licensed vehicles, including everything from a Freight Liner semitruck to the Volkswagen New Beetle and a classic '68 Mustang Boss There's also plenty of variety in terms of race types: the Cruising mode simply enables you to explore the city; Blitz races are against the clock; Checkpoint races are self-explanatory; and Circuit races involve classic track-racing through the city.
So, can you kill people? There's no blood," says Mike. The focus is on racing, not destruction. Let me explain. The original CD of the game have the soundtrack, so if you don't have it you can't listen the songs; BUT, if you have a regular CD music, you can listen the songs of that CD.

Review By P. Captures and Snapshots Windows. Instead you just pick a real-world car and go. Each of the vehicles drives as you would imagine they would. The Mustang and Panzoz types are fast but fragile, the bus and trailer truck are slow but can bust through traffic jams with ease, and the Beetle and Eldorado fall somewhere in between.
Age of Darkness: Final Stand. There are four different ways to drive in single play. You can take a leisurely cruise through the city, checking out the sites, or you can compete in either a checkpoint, circuit or blitz race throughout the streets of Chicago. And there are plenty of shortcuts to find in Midtown Madness.
There are unmarked alleyways, tunnels and even a few storefronts that you can bust through. The city of Chicago is populated with pedestrians as well as other cars who are going about their daily business as you speed around them. Other cars will stop at red lights, use their blinkers when taking a turn and even put on their hazards when they get in a wreck.
And those of you worried about violence in video games will be glad to hear that the pedestrians always dive out of the way of oncoming cars, so no blood is spilled in Midtown Madness.
