Midtown Madness 2 continues to build excitement in the racing world. The game was featured at the U.S. Grand Prix Ferrari Fan Fest at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway this past weekend, and will be showcased alongside the BMW Mini Cooper at the upcoming Paris Motor Show, September 29 to October 1. The Paris Motor Show is the third largest auto show in the world, boasting thousands of attendees yearly. In addition, Midtown Madness 2 will also be featured at the upcoming Beetle Rally Cup at the Road Atlanta Speedway on September 30. The Beetle Rally Cup is part of the Petit Le Mans race, the ninth leg of the American Le Mans series. The BMW Mini Cooper and three versions of the new VW Beetle -- Classic, Dune, and RSI -- are included in Midtown Madness 2's line-up of cars.

Midtown Madness 2 delivers the same madcap racing excitement as the original with even more hair-raising racing challenges, two new locations -- London and San Francisco -- and ten hip, new urban roadsters. Midtown Madness 2 also features the new single-player Crash Course Mission mode where budding drivers can learn and improve their skills by racing as a Hollywood stunt driver on location at a San Francisco movie set or as a trainee at the Imperial Cabbie Academy in London. The game puts players in the driver's seat of ten all-new campy urban roadsters ranging from the Audi TT to a cherry-red Freightliner fire truck. These are in addition to the madcap assortment of cars and trucks from the original game, including the new VW Beetle and Ford Mustang. The game features the same great racing modes as the original, including Blitz, Check-Point, Circuit and Multiplayer Capture-the-Gold. Plus, Midtown Madness 2 builds upon the ground-breaking physics engine of the original by allowing all new racing challenges like racing on two wheels, and mastering the hand brake, power slides and more. In addition, damage modeling has been improved, allowing breakaway parts and even better damage detail.
