Description of Midtown Madness 2
Midtown Madness 2 is a madcap driving sim that puts a focus on street racing and stunt driving through busy urban areas.
Like its predecessor, Midtown Madness 2 offers a variety of vehicles, courses and modes to blast through at dangerous speeds.
Gameplay is largely unchanged from the previous installment, offering simple controls that are easy to learn in a racer that is difficult to master. Though opinion is divided on vehicle handling, I found the controls and overall handling of vehicles to be superior in Midtown Madness 2 with less tendency to have the back-end come out from under me in the turns.
Graphics are about the same as the original; except I experienced more issues with monitor flashing at the higher settings than in the previous installment. Minimal graphic settings with maximum draw distances, however, run fine without any flashes and have an adequate overall quality.
A big change over the predecessor are two "training" modes which, in fact, serve as story modes for the game; in one you play as a London cabbie learning the ropes, the roundabouts, and all the tricks as you blow through virtual London, while the other you are a stunt driver for action movies.
Midtown Madness 2 is a lot of fun and the story modes offer something for players looking for more than simple racing and challenge modes.

I got the game working using dbVoodoo and the game works great, but there is no sound besides the main menu music. Any fix for this?

To play on Windows 10:
1. Download the RIP version.
2. Do NOT download or install the official Windows XP patch for the game.
3. Install the dgVoodoo patch for the game, in this order:
a. Extract dgVoodooSetup.exe, DDraw.dll (from the "MS" folder), & D3DImm.dll (also from the "MS" folder) and place these files to the installation folder of Midtown Madness 2.
b. Open dgVoodooSetup.exe; click on the "DirectX" tab and change the following: Videocard needs to be changed to "dgVoodoo Virtual 3D Accelerated Card" if it isn't already selected.
c. Click "Apply" and close out of dgVoodooSetup.exe and open Midtown Madness 2.
When the main menu loads, navigate to "Options"; "Graphics"; then change the video accelerator to "dgVoodoo2 w/ T&L" and click "OK".
4. Enjoy!

Hey, I literally cannot figure out how to get the game to work as instructed. Nothing is even appearing in the same way when I try to download and use D-Fend and DOSBox.

oyan244 2020-05-28 -2 points
It's a good game, I liked it alot! But one thing that bothers me is the ISO version, after I installed the game through the ISO version with those virtual mounting softwares, it says it can't find the CD on startup verification. I hope there is a patch to bypass this.

I like Midtown Madness. I never played MM3, but who cares? MM1 and MM2 are very good games. I am a big fan of Midtown Madness. Love it!

Still cant find a work-around for not having the disc, any information yet? Motocross madness 2 works great with the instruction provided in the comments but do not work with this game unfortunately due to there not being a no cd fix to download. :(
Josh 2020-02-02 -2 points
And not only that, you can also drive around San Francisco with this.
I did and I loved it.

When I started playing this, I saw where the trees did not look like real trees at all.
They were really big but they came with black leaves.

Setup has detected that uninstallShield is in use. Please close uninstallShield and restart setup.
Error 432.
There's no such thing as uninstall shield anywhere in the task manager.

To answer the question of RIP vs ISO, if you want to burn a copy of the cd get the ISO, but if you want the game digitally, get the RIP file.

Got this game at age 4 because it was included with the computer my father had just bought. Now I'm a 20 year old woman and this game still makes me laugh like a maniac at unholy hours. If you wanna watch the world burn in a child-friendly way this is the right game. 11/10
