Midtown Madness 3

Midtown Madness 3 is a 2003 racing video game developed by Digital Illusions CE and published by Microsoft Game Studios for the Xbox. It is the third and currently to date, final game in the Midtown Madness series. A version for mobile phones, developed by BeTomorrow and published by In-Fusio, was released in 2004. This marked a change from the developer of the first two games, Angel Studios, which had moved on to work on the Midnight Club series. The Xbox-exclusive console release and change of developer heralded a significant graphical improvement to maintain the console's graphical standards. Like the first sequel, the game features two major cities in which events take place; Paris and Washington, D.C. Here players can compete in a variety of race types and take on roles such as taxi and ambulance drivers. Online modes were available via Xbox Live until 15 April 2010. Midtown Madness 3 is now playable online again on the replacement Xbox Live servers called Insignia. Reception for Midtown Madness 3 was positive, with aggregators GameRankings reporting a score of 80.24%, and Metacritic a score 76 out of 100.
