Interface

Jeff's comments in BLACK

Getting through the menus

Midtown Madness has a nicely organized interface, which is a good thing, considering the huge number of options that the game presents you with. It's easy to get in and cruise around town with a couple clicks of the mouse, or you can create profiles for individual drivers with customized settings.

A unique feel to each car

While driving, all of the cars have unique dashboards, engine sounds, and horns, which is a nice touch. There's even that cloying bud vase in the VB bug! There's also the standard complement of racing views, including in-car with or without dash, and two external cameras. Since this game relies so heavily on navigation and shortcuts, having a map onscreen is critical, and the designers thoughtfully provided both a split screen map/driving view and a small cutout for full-screen driving, with two zoom levels.
