Midtown Madness
Encyclopedia : M : MI : MID : Midtown Madness
Midtown Madness is a series of racing games set in famous cities around the world. The Midtown Madness games differ from conventional racing games in two significant respects: they feature unconventionally humorous plots, and they allow free roaming through city streets, whereas most racing games only allow following a pre-defined track.
The first two Midtown Madness games were developed by Angel Studios. The third Midtown Madness installment was developed by Digital Illusions CE. Ironically, Midtown Madness 3 released in summer 2003 against Midnight Club 2, which was created by the developer of the first two games (Rockstar San Diego, formerly Angel Studios). All of the Midtown Madness games were published by Microsoft Game Studios.
