Midtown Madness 2 Walkthrough

Here is a walkthrough of a Midtown Madness series game. This is Midtown Madness 2, developed by Angel Studios (now known as Rockstar San Diego) and released by Microsoft in 2000. This is another one of my favorite non-HE games of all time. There are twenty vehicles to drive: the 1999 Ford Mustang GT, the Ford Mustang Fastback, the Ford F-350, the Freightliner Century, the Cadillac Eldorado, the American LaFrance Fire Truck, the Panoz GTR-1, the Aston Martin DB7 Vantage, etc. You get to drive on two real-world locations: San Francisco and London. This game was to be played online via the MSN Gaming Zone, but its support was discontinued in 2006 because online support for the classic and CD-ROM games were completely discontinued at that time. Now for the level-by-level comments:
Crash Course: This is the mode where you practice some driving skills in a London Cab (London) and a Ford Mustang Fastback (San Francisco). The missions aren't too complex (except a few), but on some lessons it took several attempts to complete them. I think the rest of this mode speaks for itself.
Blitz: In this mode, it's up to the player to reach the final checkpoint before the clock strikes zero. To make sure that I fully manage to complete the races, I made sure that the vehicles I was driving had the right amount of horsepower and speed. There isn't much else to say about this race mode.
Checkpoint: This mode is like a series of one-way races. Even with the mistakes I made, everything mostly went well.
Circuit: The final race mode. You get to race around a circuit track for a number of laps (three, four, etc.). I think this mode is very fun. In San Francisco, "Floor It!" that seemed to be the hardest of all the circuit races, but I managed to finish it in one attempt.
Cruise: In this mode, you do nothing but explore around the cities. I drove all twenty vehicles which I unlocked, and also showcased their custom paint jobs that were also unlocked.
For the lessons and races where I made several attempts, I had to have them cut out in Sony Vegas because it was for viewing pleasure. Though I forgot to cut out a few scenes from this walkthrough (like how I had to get the announcers the way I wanted in a few races).
Going back to talking about the gameplay itself, I should say, depending on how long you play this game, it takes approximately three and a half hours to complete it at 100%. I did my best to make this a 100% walkthrough. Including the time I spent on Cruise, this walkthrough is up to nearly six hours (whoa!). So, this is my first walkthrough to last longer than two hours.
Because I was playing through this game in Professional mode, I wanted to start off with the London races because you get to unlock the Panoz GTR-1, the fastest car in the entire game, in one of the checkpoint races. So, if you want to save stress in Professional mode, I would suggest starting off with the London races. Believe me, it will work. Then you can do the San Francisco races. Notably there are different outcomes in both Amatuer and Professional modes, so I played in Professional mode because I wanted this walkthrough to feature a complex level.
This is personally my favorite Midtown Madness series game because the music, the gameplay, and the choices of vehicles are great. Because of that, I have a preference for this one, but I should say that Midtown Madness 1 and Midtown Madness 3 (only for the original Xbox) are fantastic as well. There are beta versions of this game that can still be played, but I will make gameplay videos of them sometime later. With that being said, please enjoy!
Fun fact: I have a photo of me driving the Ford Mustang GT in San Francisco in this game. I had this game since 2004.

this was my all time favourite game growing up

[@CEO100able]

It was also one of my favorites back in the day.

[@sonyviva308]

Oh my Good I MISS THIS GAME. I used to go crazy trying to beat the Mustang Crash Course. It was bloody stressful for me. I eve loved the music they put into the game.

[@CEO100able]

I still love this game to this day as well. I'm glad you enjoyed this walkthrough. Thanks!

Lovely, just took me down memory lane. Oh and your driving is awesome. Thanks for this!

[@CEO100able]

You are welcome.

[@Phantom5611]

The music in this game were very memorable. Also when I was young I didn’t understand a word but now I learned that the narrator actually makes some pretty witty comments such as mocking you for driving a fast car when opponents are in slow cars and you win lol

[@generfeld]

I liked the stoner sounding guy when you do San Francisco

Even though this sequel is very superior to the first Midtown Madness installment, that sounds like fun!

[@generfeld]

great playing. Im buying the CDs online and trying to install Windows 7 and see if I can get this game working. lol Its cool seeing the London driving. I don't think I ever did the London stuff once, it was always SanFran

[@CEO100able]

Thanks very much! I had lots of fun with this walkthrough. However, I plan on uploading a "new and improved" version of it at some point in the future...

[@lynk172]

This game is part of my childhood though...AGH...THE FEELING!!!

Same here! To this day, it's still one of my all-time favorite classic Microsoft PC games.

[@zacharyellis3001]

I had the original Midtown Madness and this one as well. I got both in thr late 90's. I miss these games dearly. They were so much fun but they dont run worth crap on anything newer than windows 98

OMG. That was epic game about 2000 years. Graphic now very very low but 15 years ago high end :D With Amd K6-2 400Mhz 128MB SD-ram and Nvidia Riva Tnt2 32Gb VGA then MX 200 VGA config I very loved this game... Sic transit gloria mundi.

[@MarnicSteve92]

Brilliant video. I love this game. Are you playing this on windows 10? If so do you have a windows 10 fix? I recently bought a copy of the game & want to play it on my laptop.

[@mymarci]

Same here, i got it to run on my ROG Laptop a few weeks ago but graphics were fucked up. Was not really playable.

[@adilezzaam]

[@rexy25mikey42]

Memories!

[@srayanray3815]

This brings back memories oh man !!

[@markwiering]

I have the Russian version of this game. The Russian version of Midtown Madness 2 didn't have any background music (not while racing, nor in the menu). Or... if it did have it, it was disabled by default and I didn't know how to enable it. So, it's a bit strange to hear music playing in your menu and while you are driving. I played this game with the only sounds being the sound of the car engine, police cars, people screaming and traffic cars sounding their horn.

How to turn on the CD player in the game it is named hi-fi stereo in the game ..press "2" in the keyboard..

[@nerofluidis9282]

Fun game, the LMP was too fast to use with a keyboard you pretty much had to use a wheel to get the most out of it.

[@tahatariq7469]

I remember I used to beat the crap out of the other car in "follow that car" 😂

[@2..k427]

bro you missed "presidio push" in sanfrancisco blitz.

[@CEO100able]

I cut that out by accident?! Oh no, that's something I have never known about all along, so I might upload footage of me completing that blitz race as a bonus video and I will have to show it in a redone version of this walkthrough! Thanks for pointing that out!

[@erayismus]

03:56 cheater! :P

[@CEO100able]

I was trying to finish "The Weaver's Tale" without letting the clock strike zero on me since it kept happening when I originally tried to avoid all the sets of SUVs, so pushing one of them out of the way made that Crash Course mission a go-go (I played this game on an HP Pavilion p6230f PC with Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 on it for this walkthrough, so its hardware must have caused me to have a hard time beating the clock in that London crash course mission without pushing any vehicles out of the way).

[@busesinlondon9767]

U actually made a 5hour video

In the description, I did say "nearly six hours" since this video is five hours and fifty-five minutes long.
