==Gameplay== The game features ''Blitz'', ''Checkpoint'', ''Circuit'', ''Sniper'', ''Death Match'', and ''Cruise'' modes, which are all derived from the original [[Midtown Madness]] game. Winning Blitz, Checkpoint and Circuit races allows you to unlock new vehicles and paint jobs. The Cruise mode lets you roam freely around the two [[open world]] recreations of London and San Francisco. A ''Crash Course'' can be completed in each of the cities. The ''Cab Driving School'' in [[London]] follows an extremist view of a [[London cab|London Cab]] driver, where a player must complete objectives in a [[Hackney carriage|London cab]]. The ''Stunt Driver'' course in [[San Francisco]] allows the player to gain experience in stunt driving for a Hollywood movie, using the [[Ford Mustang|Ford Mustang Fastback]]. Players can change variables which affect the vehicle's performance and visual appearance of the game before starting a race, such as the weather and time of day. Additionally, [[police vehicle]]s frequency can be modified, as with the amount of [[traffic]] and [[pedestrian]]s. Every race or cruise would begin with someone commenting. These commenters would also be heard at the end of a race (not a cruise) saying something that depends on your position upon finishing. The commenters would be different for each race, and they are different for each city (i.e. someone commenting in San Francisco would not be heard in London, or vice versa). These include for San Francisco: a newscaster, a [[hippie]], a stunt driving instructor, a short-tempered film director; for London: a [[Scotland|Scottish]] man, an [[England|English]] woman, and (presumably through her elegant-sounding voice) [[Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom|Queen Elizabeth II]], although the woman mispronounces English words using the American slang terms instead. There are a wide variety of iconic vehicles to choose from, such as the [[Aston Martin DB7 Vantage]], [[BMW MINI|New Mini Cooper]] and the [[Audi TT]]. Each vehicle includes a number of unique paint jobs. Some vehicles also contain unlockable special paint jobs, accessed by completing certain races or ''Crash Course'' challenges (or getting a mod off [http://www.mmarchive.com Midtown Madness Archive]) Additional vehicles, which existed in the Midtown Madness 2 [[Development stage#Beta|beta]], were extracted and replaced in the [[Development stage#Gold.2Fgeneral availability release|final]] version; the [[American LaFrance]] Silver Eagle Firetruck, a [[Moon]] Rover and the [[Cadillac Eldorado]] Seville 1959, the latter of which was officially integrated with [[Midtown Madness 3]]. Many [[Fan (person)|fans]] of the game have also created their own vehicles, based on other popular real life or toy vehicles, ranging from the [[Shelby Mustang]] GT500 to [[Lego]] carts to the [[De Lorean DMC-12]], in both the original and [[Back to the Future]] designs. ===Multiplayer=== Support for multiplayer gaming via [[IP address]], [[serial cable]], and analogue [[modem]] is built-in. Additionally, the gameβs multiplayer menu includes a link to the [[MSN Gaming Zone]], which offered Midtown Madness 2 lobbies until 19 June 2006. Similar online gaming sites still support multiplayer gaming, such as [[GameSpy]], and also through [[instant messenger]] clients, such as [[XFire]]. Multiplayer clients use Midtown Madness 2's built-in [[DirectPlay]] support to launch and manage multiplayer sessions.
