Sure, the single player is cool, but it doesn't even begin to approach the level of enjoyment to be gleaned from online play. I'm talking about the mad scramble that is Xbox Live. I'm talking about the multiplayer experience. Is it "buy an Xbox and sing its praises from the highest mountain" fun? If you're into racing games, it sure is.īut before I get ahead of myself, let me clarify. It's call-in-sick-to-work, stay up until four in the morning fun. It's not just a little fun, it's terribly fun. Gameplay Let's start with the important stuff. In fact, if you like racing games at all, this is a reason to get an Xbox and Xbox Live. If you own Xbox Live and like racing games, MM3 is a no-brainer. While the single player experience is fulfilling (if a bit predictable), this game is all about the multiplayer, especially on Xbox Live. Instead, in MM3, you'll race everything from a garbage truck to a MINI Cooper to a Chevy SSR, and you'll do it in the very recognizable confines of Washington D.C. But it doesn't boast merely the souped-up, tricked out rides of Midnight Club 2.

The third installment in a series developed by Digital Illusions and begun on the PC, Midtown Madness 3 is at its heart a street racer. But is the experience that takes place within them worth all the trouble? Indeed it is. It boasts two fully functioning metropolises for gamers to frolic in, and the cities are quite amazing to behold. Although it is a much different experience than Vice City, MM3 offers some of the most fleshed-out game environments we've seen this or any year. Since Vice City, attempts at creating such large-scale working worlds have paled in comparison. You'd think with games like GTA III and Vice City driving the market that huge, organic cityscapes would have become commonplace in the world of videogames.
