If you place first in three races, then you'll gain access to an entirely new car. In addition, the checkpoint mode spans 20 races, in which you have to race to several different points in a section of the city, whether it's Washington DC or Paris. This mode pits you against cars in your class, so if you've selected a 1967 Mustang Fastback, then you'll race against cars that have similar abilities. Interestingly, the pedestrian density can have quite an impact on the game, as ambient cars will actually attempt to avoid pedestrians that are darting out in the street, creating yet another obstacle to drive around.įans of previous games in the series should be familiar with one of Midtown Madness 3's other modes, the checkpoint mode. The cruise mode offers a few different customization options as well, including pedestrian density, traffic density, and police density. Obviously, if you're driving a hummer, a semi, or a bus, it's going to be a bit problematic to accomplish such a task, but if you're using a Volkswagen Beetle, a Mini Cooper, or any one of the smaller cars in Midtown Madness 3, then it's not quite as difficult. In one situation, you'll have to navigate in between the pillars of the Jefferson Memorial to gain access to the rotunda and the power-up located just at the base of Jefferson's statue. In the cruise mode you essentially have free rein over the city and can drive to any accessible spot on the map, but while you're tearing around the city, you'll want to keep an eye out for power-ups that can be used to strengthen the individual abilities of your car. In fact, Paris alone is approximately the size of the London and San Francisco maps from Midtown Madness 2 combined, so you'll have plenty of areas to explore within both cities, especially in the cruise mode. Like Midtown Madness 2, the third game in the series will feature two different cities, Washington DC and Paris, both of which have been modeled closely after their real-life counterparts and are generally much large than the environments in Midtown Madness 2. Microsoft dropped by the GameSpot offices with a new build of Midtown Madness 3, its city-based driving game for the Xbox.
