Racing through Chicago was only the start. San Francisco and London were in need of some open world madness, and this second game in the series by Microsoft and Angel Studios delivers!

I used to play this game all the time. I would spend hours in cruise mode with cars I downloaded from the MM2 website. I pretended to have my own house and workplace in the game. This review brought back some great memories of this game and my childhood, thank you.

I think I was 8 or 9 when I got my first computer. Dad had just bought a brand new Emachine for himself, so he put it in the computer room and gave me the old Aptiva. And for my very first PC game... he gave me Midtown Madness2. I wasn't allowed to have internet yet, but he hooked up his Emachine to my Aptiva through lan, installed MM2 on his computer , and then the two of us raised hell together on the streets of San Fransico. I can't even begin to count how many hours I must've spent driving around aimlessly in cruise mode. There was just so much random junk to see and explore. I also remember being so jealous because his machine could run it smoothly on the highest graphic settings while sometimes mine was barely chugging along on the lowest if I set the pedestrian count too high Between playing this, The Sims, and Earthsiege 2, my first computer was a blast. (I know what you're thinking here: (Earthsiege? But wasn't Starsiege out already by then?) That's because my mom thought it seemed too scary for me, so I had to wait another year or two before playing it. Sorry for the little bit of ramble, it's just that this was one of THOSE handful of unforgettable first PC games for me.

I miss the whole Midtown series. You're right, to many games like "The Crew" shove pointless story and characters into games that should be about fast cars, exploring cool cities, and causing mayhem.
@SianaGearz
@SianaGearz 7 жыл бұрын
Sometimes that could be considered good; but in The Crew in particular, there is absolutely no point in having a fixed player character. For single player campaign, he or she could just as well been customizable, with the customization carrying over into multiplayer. There is no intrinsic appeal to the character nor much in terms of prerendered cutschenes that couldn't be directed differently if the character wasn't fixed. There's this aspect of these games that just keeps getting worse. These developers can't do stories, so arguably they shouldn't try. The Crew being a sequel of Test Drive Unlimited, in a way, different company names, but related technology and same developer team... TDU, you have no story, but mad races and exploration keeping he thing appealing. Sure the game has flaws, but they're not too distracting overall. You progress simply by levelling or gaining money, doing whatever is fun to you. In TDU2 they tacked on a story, and while it's not too intrusive unlike later games, story driven missions are badly designed and the forced exploration just sucks. In The Crew, they made exploration aspect and story driven races better, but the story is borderline obnoxious, just like it is in NFS games that really work better without one - the stories never had a motivational advantage, the exciting setpieces and tracks did. Plus the social component in TDU2 really worked for the most part, it doesn't in The Crew, it's best played alone. I think something like a mix of NFSW and TDU2 needs to come about, and i'm actually working on something in this regard, but I don't have enough to show, and when I do (could take years) i'll likely present it on the Turboducks forum to solicit feedback. The goal is to make something fully moddable - your own islands, your own vehicles, your own gameplay styles, so people can just create an open world racing game they like and reuse each other's assets to accomplish it efficiently, and leave out the typical industry bullshit. One common theme is that people just hate half baked heartless shit being forced down their throat, but otherwise people will never agree on what kind of game they would like, but they shouldn't have to.
@SianaGearz
@SianaGearz 7 жыл бұрын
EximiusDux there's absolutely nothing that I enjoy in a game more than a well told story! It doesn't even have to be too intricate, it just has to make its punches count. But I play story driven games, I read novels occasionally. If I had to name my all time favourite game, it would probably be Day of the Tentacle, and I absolutely loved playing L.A. Noire and Broken Age recently, and I think Tomb Raider reboot is one example of game storytelling in a non story centric genre that I can name of the recent ones that was actually well executed. Thing is, well I haven't played most of the more recent Need for Speed games, I played The Run and forgot what else, but does any of them, in your opinion, do storytelling right, do storytelling well? I'm going to give an example, certainly of doubtful relevance given it's well over 20 years old now, but it does tell us something. The very first Road&Track Presents: the Need for Speed. The original release for ill fated 3DO console, it had the rival as FMV actor in a parking lot talking smack and challenging you. Everyone hated him, they took him out for re-releases, so you can directly compare the game reception and impact. So did he do anything in the first place? He was there to make you hate The Rival, to up the stakes, but they just tightened up the ruthless AI so whatever mistake you make, at the later deciding levels near the end of the multi part tour, he will overtake you, so you're gonna hate him automatically. The same thing the "story" pretense does, conveyed through gameplay, much better. Games are interactive experiences - while they are conductive to tell a story, a mindless game with a trivial narrative tacked onto it is still a mindless game, and a challenging but not punishing game without an attempt at narrative is still inherently rewarding. Sure a good narrative can make anything better, but that's not something I can provide, nor am I aware of a good precedent in this specific genre so far, and I think if something is to be done, it shouldn't just be there, it has to actually be good, or at least have a chance of being good at development stages and culled away before release if it doesn't hold up.

I don't have the box anymore, but I still have the disc. My dad went out of his way to figure to mod the game for me so i can have fun with broken cars. I remember the terrible, terrible grinding for those nice cars... this game also made the classic ford mustang fastback my favorite car. Also, when I was a kid, I always thought that unreachable backgrounds like the rest of Marin County and the Bay Bridge were actually visitable places, so I tried my best to find ways to glitch out of bounds to go there, only to realize that they are flat backdrops and there is only gray ground/water beyond the boundaries of the map.

Makes me appreciate it even more. I need to travel to San Francisco to revisit the places i drove through in this game.

I have never been a big PC gaming fan when it comes to retro games at lease because my family was super poor growing up so the first PC i ever owned i had a co worker build for me in the late 90's when i was working at a blockbuster video of all places for $250. I don't watch any other PC gaming videos on KZfaq except for LGR and that is a sign to me that you are the best at what you do. I'm a huge fan, i have watched most of your videos now and they are all very informative and entertaining. Wish my games collection could compare to your massive wall of big box PC games. I lost most of my collection when i was around 19/20 because of theft. And now game prices are through the roof and i'm a low wage making back breaking manual laborer so it's hard to buy anything for myself these days. But i am happy when watching your reviews and other videos on PC hardware and gaming, keep up the good work!

TrackMania Nations still floats in rotation when we have mates together for some LAN gaming, it is a blast. Can get pretty competitive with the lap times though!

Your comment prompted me to install Trackmania Sunrise on my current machine, but I couldn't start the game due to the stupid Starforce DRM thinking Windows 10 is Windows 98. I had the same problem trying to play the game on 7 and even Vista, where the game worked, but I could only play modded maps...

I always enjoy your reviews - you have the right balance of criticism and sarcasm. I spent many hours playing this game, both solo and with a friend in co-op - mostly on the SF map (having lived there for a few years). It's amazing how our imagination would convert those pixels to real-world images. And I was an adult at the time (I'm probably older than your parents). If you haven't already covered it, I would love to see a video about Crusader: No Remorse. I still remember how amazing it was to be able to shoot and destroy boxes and walls - that was a huge milestone in gaming. Cheers!

I tried out Midtown Madness 2 years ago and I loved it. All I did was just drive around the cities in the "first person" view, doing stunts and crashing into people. Good times.

"... and the cops won't get of your case..." (in free cruise mode) When I was a kid, that was one of my favourite things to do: discover all the ways to get rid of the cops. Heck, I played this game for hours upon hours, this was my favourite game as a kid... I have the disk lying around somewhere, I might want to give it a try again

This blew my mind back in the day, 3D open world games were a rarity in the late 90's and the sheer freedom afforded to the player was so liberating and almost felt like a fantasy simulator . Don't tell me I was the only one to drive along the subway tracks in London!

Jebus... $50 on Ebay if you own just the jewel case and CD-rom... $200 IF YOU HAVE IT WITH THE BOX!!!! My gawd... $150 just for cardboard. I still have this CD-Rom in my collection, but like most gamers from the 90's and early 2000, these PC boxes took up so much room we ended up just throwing them in the trash and placing the jewel case in a CD rack.

I loved that game! After another boring learning using Microsoft Excel in CS(computer science)class Teacher told me and my classmates You can play the games or surf the internet until bell rings. So ive decieded play the games, and Someone installed full version of Midtown Madness 2 on my used computer COOL! Ive always enjoed plowing traffic with Freightliner big rig :) when some nearby friends ask me name of game, Ive joked Its Driver 3 :D but Driver 3 or Driv3r are not made in 2002 yet. Anyways I never had this game at my home besides demo version, But ive enjoyed Midnight Club series, Mostly 3 Dub Edtion Remix :) hyper tuned chooper motocyle freeroaming streets of Detroit awsome, Besides chopper, ive had fondness to Mclaren F1 its my favorite sportscar from childhood. if any game had playable(Or offer mods to bring that car) Mclaren F1 I must drive it! :D
