If you are looking for bundle of racing adventure that will bring you some afternoon fun, then this is the package for you. All three programs are not system monsters so even if your system is a bit older, then this bundle will still run on your computer. The graphics and sounds for Midtown Madness are great, and if you have a steering wheel controller, then you especailly enjoy this game.

Monster Truck Madness 2 is by far the best racing game i have ever played and i say this after playing it for 2 1/2 years. It never gets old simply because you can create your own tracks and trucks with software thats available free online, currently there are literally thousands of different vehicles and tracks available to download free ranging from real life monster truck replicas such as Jurassic Attack to the strange like a experimental twin jet powered NASA truck and the tracks are just as diverse from real life drag tracks to rallys on the moon. Another great thing about the game is that it can be played online via an ip connection with your friends or at microsofts zone.com with people from all over the world.

Microsoft came up with an incredible vent for driving frustration. This version allows the player to drive like a total maniac through all of downtown Chicago. Graphics are very real. Sounds are life-like. Rated "E" for everyone. Even though one can absolutly demolish other vehicles, light poles, dumpsters and so on, it is impossible to run down pedestrians. They will always find a way to dive (literally)out of your harmful path. The vehicles handle very differently depending on weather conditions. The game allows rain, snow, cloudy, sunny, night, dawn and dusk. The pedestrians even dress appropriatly for WX conditions. The cops are nuts. They will crash into or run down anyone that gets in their way while chasing you. I have driven in Chicago and this is a little weird because of the real time/distances. I was a bit disappointed with Microsoft's decision to eliminate Chicago from the newer Mid Town Madness II. In that version you have only San Francisco and London. Microsoft may be pulling the original MTM off selves to sell the MTM-II. Microsoft should have just added the other two cities to the newer version. Hey!! How about Mid America Madness? They could put say the fifteen larger cities in the US on a game. Laugh, but look what Flight Simulator has evolved to since the Commodore 64 version.
