    The real fun is in the online game modes, and I must say that I had some of the most fun since signing on to Xbox LIVE while playing this game.

    It satisfies your need to do stuff - fun tasks like picking up passengers, tailing mob bosses, and running jalopies off the road - as well as your need for speed. [Aug 2003, p.119]

    Feels like a shiny new version of "Crazy Taxi," only this time, infinitely less deep. [Aug 2003, p.80]

    All traffic and pedestrians are removed from the game. Fortunately, the capture the flag and tag style modes are plenty entertaining, especially with a larger group. [Aug 2003, p.78]

    With cartoony controls, fast cars, and great multiplayer modes, Midtown Madness 3 is an excellent buy for any Xbox Live player. However, the game is not a shining beacon of single player goodness and racing game enthusiasts without Live support would be better off looking at other titles.

    Personally, except for the glitch in the soundtrack and a few minor details in the graphics, the game is fun and that is what is important.

    A game that has some bright spots tarnished by some dull areas of mediocrity.

    The single-player is slow and unforgiving next to the white-hot motoring antics of the online experience.

    The fast-paced weaving through the streets of two different cities holds a wealth of interesting gameplay. While there's nothing new or innovative here, MM3 offers easy playability with plenty to do.

    It doesn't have the polish or intensity of "Midnight Club II." [Aug 2003, p.31]

    The cool thing about the online mode is that you can join games already in progress.

    In all honesty, I enjoyed the main bulk of gameplay about as much as I do that throbbing sensation when a Q-tip is jammed just a little too far into my ear. [July 2003, p.115]

    The campaign doesn't last very long though, and isn't all that interesting to begin with.

It's a veryYou have to maps Paris and Washington DC both have campaigns in DC you're a stunt driver while in Paris you're a secret agent. It's a very good Car game the only downside is it gets a bit a repetitive after while but the races are where the game shines out the most as in my experience, I never was bored with races which kept me playing, I recently replayed this game and still holds up for fun to this day except for the collectible system in this game. The rewards in this game are new cars when you complete missions or races and different paint jobs when you collect paint spray cans but the downside is you have to be in the same car for the collectible to be obtained. 6.2… Full Review »
