Motocross madness 2 works great with the instruction provided in the comments but do not work with this game unfortunately due to there not being a no cd fix to download. Josh -2 points.
And not only that, you can also drive around San Francisco with this. I did and I loved it. Josh 0 point. When I started playing this, I saw where the trees did not look like real trees at all. They were really big but they came with black leaves.

We had 4 computer Lan - it was great to drive 4 cars on the same grid - seek-and-hire. In my oppinion great 3d graphic at the time. GOD 0 point. The folks in San Francisco have a lot of personality too, it is the kind of thing that in any other game would be out of place, but here even with the repetition is fun. What I liked best about the game was that the racing action was fun. This is an arcade-style racer so it is the kind of game that is very easy to pick up and play.
There is some skill here and the more you play it the better you will get, but taking corners fast and making crazy jumps are the kind of things you can be expecting to do here. It may not be the deepest racer around and I do prefer the third outing, but I had a smile on my face the majority of the time I played this. I know that you may think playing a racer from is kind of pointless. However, Midtown Madness 2 is a solid arcade racer that ticks all of the boxes of what makes a fun game.
It has plenty of game modes, the actual racing is solid and the game looks and sounds good too. The only reason I have not scored it higher is that I do feel that the second game in the series offers what this does and then some more. Grab the wheel and take to the streets again in Midtown Madness 2 -- the madcap racing sequel from Microsoft and Angel Studios featuring two all new cities and nine hip new roadsters for your racing enjoyment. Add two new single-player missions a Hollywood Stunt Driver school and the Imperial Cabbie Academy and you'll find more mayhem than you can shake a stick at.
One of the first things I said wanted when I started playing the original Midtown Madness was a chance to drive around San Francisco. Midtown Madness 2 offers just that, along with the foggy alleyways of London. The heart of both cities has been rendered with impressive detail -- famous landmarks such as San Francisco's Lombard Street, Golden Gate Bridge, and Fisherman's Wharf or London's Tower Bridge, Trafalgar Square and Buckingham Palace are all there, just waiting for you to careen around at top speed.
You can even race in London's subway system, just keep an eye out for oncoming trains. Some artistic license has been used to make everything fit, but overall you'll be impressed.

You can take to the capital's winding streets in Routemaster buses, black cabs and, maybe, the first ever Reliant Robin to grace a driving game. Expect the pedestrians to be stoned, the police to be unarmed, and die BBFC to ban it. In these cynical days of 'reissue, repackage, reevaluate', an original game is about as rare as proverbial rocking horse shit.
And when it comes to racing games, you might as well forget it, with most developers showing about as much ingenuity as the average boy band. Instead of pissing about inventing hover vehicles that race on the moon, or resurrecting some obscure sport, what they've done is to take a modern-day city and fill it with authentic vehicles.
No guns, no gimmicks, just accurately modelled cars and a meticulously recreated city. That city is Chicago, Illinois, which to the less geographically minded is somewhere in America near a big lake. Clearly, some kind of artistic licence has been taken, and what we have is a slightly compressed version of the real thing, comprising all the major landmarks. It's very well done though, and effortlessly conveys the sense of being in a fully functioning, living city.
Planes fly overhead, traffic stops at red lights, and the police even have their own network. City simulation is a different game altogether though, and what we're talking here is action-packed racing, the game featuring a variety of different modes, with success unlocking further vehicles and tracks.
Circuit races are over charted courses, with other roads blocked off; Blitz races take place against the clock; and Checkpoint races involve clearing all points before your opponents. The latter two modes take place with incidental traffic in full effect, often leading to the midtown madness of the title. 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.
