Luckily, the game does have some replay value due to the fact that somehow it takes a long time to tire of crashing into police cars, city landmarks and trees. They will diligently chase you through parks and side roads, although there doesn't appear to be a penalty for getting caught. Technically, you can obey traffic laws and the police won't bother you. There are plenty of cars to drive, including the new VW Bug and a Mustang, but the game is lacking Ferraris, Porches and other slick autos. Midtown Madness 2 offers a few speedy vehicles, but seems to focus mostly on cars that the average working-class person might drive.
Players can, however, drive busses and freight trucks, which is pretty darn fun.
They don't move too fast, but for a bus oncoming cars are just speed bumps on the road. The game looks sharp. Both cities were modeled in fairly fine detail, which was an impressive feat on the developers' behalf. Traffic lights actually change from green to yellow to red. On the whole Midtown Madness 2 is an entertaining game.
