An upbeat urban racer that loves to destroy things, including your sanity. Angel Studios’ Midtown Madness wants to be a great game. It is obvious that the developers put a lot of care into their design, and it has far more polish than the average cookie-cutter racing game.

The premise is stuffed with great ideas, and many of them are skillfully implemented, but the game is hampered by a few significant problems. The centerpiece of the game is its setting – a living city that recreates the streets of downtown Chicago in a massive, non-linear map that serves as the setting for all the game’s races. Different races follow different courses through the city, but it is often possible to deviate with shortcuts. It appears, though, that the designers have had little first-hand experience with the windy city—major landmarks such as the Water Tower and Navy Pier are faithfully represented, but many streets, intersections, and minor buildings have a “glossed over” feel. Inaccuracies aside, the city feels real enough for the purposes of a racing game. Pedestrians and traffic choke the streets as they go about their daily business, regulated by changing traffic lights.

The sidewalks are lined with street signs, garbage cans, trees, newspaper vendors and they are all interactive. The visceral feel of taking a shortcut across a plaza, plowing through obstacles and innocent bystanders is difficult to dismiss (this isn’t Carmageddon by the way – civilians always jump out of your way). Some objects are indestructible, but most of the game’s miscellaneous scenery will succumb to off-road onslaughts in a satisfying fashion. Garbage cans and newspaper machines explode in clouds of litter and newsprint, and pedestrians freeze like deer and then dive for cover. Other cars are equally interactive, and depending on traffic density, fender benders and full-blown pileups are common.
