Microsoft's free-roaming racing series makes its Xbox debut with Midtown Madness 3. Developed by the team responsible for RalliSport Challenge, the game features two 3D cities, based on Paris and Washington D.C. Three modes of play are carried over from past versions of the series, including Blitz, Checkpoint, and Cruise. A total of 34 vehicles are available to drive, ranging from a Lotus Espirit Turbo and garbage truck to a 1967 Ford Mustang and ambulance. Each vehicle also receives damage with repeated collisions from traffic lights, street signs, and rival cars that can affect performance.
