Racing Burst Wide Open


Midtown Madness 3 shatters the constraints of "rail" racing with little regard to tradition. Trust me, that's a good thing. No longer will you be pinned into narrow streets with nowhere to turn. Midtown Madness 3 tosses tunnel racing aside. Now the side streets you've always seen, but couldn't touch, are wide open for your driving pleasure. It's time for you to realize racing madness in vast living-and-breathing virtual renditions of Washington D.C. and Paris.

Environmental Advantage
If it's upright, you can probably knock it down. Buildings notwithstanding, you can use the environment to your tactical advantage ...and to the ire of your opponents. Is Matilda crawling up your bumper? Knock a lamppost on her hood, and see how she likes that. The cities (and more importantly, the objects within the cities) are primed for your wild tactics. Little things like picnic tables and garbage cans won't slow you down too much, but if you knock them into the street, they'll cause all sorts of havoc for your opponents.

Beyond knocking distractions in front of and onto your opponents, you'll also need to take advantage of your lack of restraint. While the map may show a path of winding switch backs down a hill to your objective, why not simply plow through a gate and fly freely down a steep embankment, crashing, but landing, close to your next objective marker.

Washington, D.C.
Never been to the nation's capital? Why not do some sight-seeing while you're flying through the streets with wild abandon? Midtown Madness 3 offers Washington, D.C. as your own personal playground. There's no need to unlock sections of the city like in so many other games; from the very beginning, the whole shebang is wide open and available for your driving amusement. You'll even find digital renditions of some of D.C.'s most popular tourist attractions, such as the White House, the Washington Monument, DuPont Circle, the FBI building, a faithfully recreated Chinatown, and so much more.


Tear through the notorious traffic of Dupont Circle.

Paris
Is a trip to the city of lights a bit too pricey for you? Not to worry. With Midtown Madness 3, you can view the splendor of Paris through your windshield as you duck in and out of side streets and tear through major throughways. Just like with Washington D.C., the whole of Paris is available to you from the get go, and also like D.C., you'll see loads of familiar sites and attractions. You'll find yourself driving by the classic L'Ouvre museum, the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, and l'Arc de Triomphe, just to name a few. They're all available to drive through, up, around, and over, however you please.


Flyaround the Eiffel Tower to pick up insane speed.

Midtown Madness 3 frees you from the environmental restraints found in most racing games. No longer will you be constrained by level design. Instead, only the confines of your imagination will limit your options. Where do you want to go, and how do you want to get there? It's up to you. That's the beauty of it. Prepare yourself for driving freedom!
