I love driving games. I love this game, it's easy to play and has lots of variety. There's checkpoint races where you can race against computer opponents, and blitz races where you race against time. It's realistic enough that it's fun to just drive around. Of course, I've only had it a week, but other driving games have bored me in hours. So far, so good.

Oh, and make sure you get the patch from Microsoft for running it on Windows XP from here: http://www.microsoft.com/games/midtown/downloads.htm

There's a trial version you can download there that's pretty fun too.

While this game is already 6 years old, the graphics are astounding and make the game look like it just came out. The reflection effects, as well as the environment look great. As for the city, Chicago, it has been a bit simplified but still remains one of the best video game conversions of a city, recreating the ambiance extremely well in addition to many landmarks. As for the gameplay, the cars have a tendency to skip a bit, but overall it is a lot of fun, and the speed rendering is good. Great game overall.
