Talk:Midtown Madness

message: Did Dick Biondi provide any voice work in this game? When I installed it the part that said "Welcome to Microsoft Midtown Madness, -Chicago Edition", it sounded alot like him.--jonrev 05:08, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Does this section need to be so long? I get whiplash reading so many "he-said-she-said" descriptions. Personal taste, I guess, but...I kind of feel like this section could be half as long and still give a complete picture of the game's reception. Any thoughts?  Frank    talk  04:33, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Maybe this isn't well known(?), but MM1 had a bunch of modders who created new vehicles and new tracks for Midtown Madness. Can this be included as a small note for the "legacy" of the game? -- Guroadrunner (talk) 05:13, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

message: "Midtown Madness features four single-player modes: Blitz, Circuit, Checkpoint, Sniper, and Cruise."  Call me crazy, but that sounds like 5 things, not 4. (Crowless (talk) 18:15, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

message: I'm not going to nominate this for FAR just yet, but it has a few problems that I think push it below the level expected of a proper FA:
*Some informal and awkward writing, e.g. "cops" (which is actually linked to police officer), "damaged out", 
*Also some vague writing, e.g. "somewhat realistic", "The game is distinctly different from other racing games" (What other racing games? Roughly what percentage of them, or what subgenre of them?)
*The first two paragraphs of Gameplay are slightly wanting of detail. I don't feel like I really understand the individual modes.
*Not a big deal, but there's one dead link.
*Gameplay needs some extra citations.
*The Vehicles section is unnecessary and should be merged into Gameplay as a table or list in the prose. Also needs sources, particularly for the parenthetical information about the Red Rocket and Monster Truck.
*Reception is poorly organized: the second paragraph lapses near the end into information unrelated to sound, and the first one could probably be split into two as it covers a great deal. Also, the use of "fun" is vague and probably unnecessary. Overall, Reception could stand to be reorganized from scratch.
*The screenshot and artwork needs a better FAR. Screenshot also probably belongs in Gameplay.
**I went ahead and fixed the cover art. Salavat (talk) 09:14, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: *I don't think it would pass a FAC today on completeness alone. Also needs a cleanup and more footnotes. czar ♔ 23:42, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
