In truth, the first two lacked depth and innovation, though they made up for it by doling out plenty of mayhem, allowing you to careen through massive cityscapes with an untold level of interactivity. But while the original and its sequel were developed by Angel Studios (who later went on to bring us the Midnight Club games), the third iteration has been handled by developer DICE, the race heads who brought us the excellent Rallisport Challenge.
It was a breath of fresh air, and ever since I have awaited each installment with starry eyes. The First Midtown Madness graced my dilapidated PC keyboard with its total disregard for human safety and pedestrian rights.
