While tough, they'll get you up to speed on the advanced techniques you'll need to succeed in the later Blitz and Circuit courses in the game, which you'll definitely want to do if you just have to have that hippy skin for your Light Tactical Vehicle. You'll weave though parked cars in London, you'll avoid the cops while hitting the checkpoints in San Francisco, and you'll learn exactly just how fast you can take a corner in order to keep a constant speed.
The Crash Courses are one of the best new additions to the series, giving you tough but short tasks that test your driving skills and precision. This leaves you with a few select cars, and a lot of fun showpieces that are a blast for Cruise mode, but will just leave you frustrated in the course of competitive events.

It would have been nice to have had a "match cars" option in the game, for times when you'd like to experience a race full of firetrucks, or mini coopers, but unfortunately if you want to win a race, you'll have to stick with the fastest and most reliable vehicles, and skip the cute-but-useless slowpokes. Unfortunately, given the nature of the game, you'll rarely if ever use most of the cars. The new cars give you even more ways to crash and burn (or succeed, if that's your fetish), with new additions to the "gi-mongous" category of car sizes (my personal favorite being the psychedelic double decker bus), as well as some really well-rounded street racers like the Audi TT. And once you see the locked cars, you'll definitely want to take the game out of neutral and start unlocking some of the secrets that spice up the experience. You'll be able to jump into a race instantly and get a feel for the cars, or maybe just step into Cruise mode and drive around to your heart's content until you're ready for a new competition. The gameplay will be instantly familiar to anyone who experienced the original, with a similar setup and structure - the new Crash Course mode being the one major exception. Spotty in structure and execution, but packed with a ton of entertainment value, Midtown Madness 2 is a strong sequel that keeps the city madness alive, one more time. But will it fulfill your needs? Will it provide you with the steering-wheel based delights that you so desire? Yes. This time around you've got two giant cities (San Francisco and London), more cars, a new mode and a ton more tracks to contend with. The sequel to Midtown Madness, one of IGNPC's favorite racing games of the last few years, finally has a sibling in the bi-continental Midtown Madness 2.
