Midtown Madness 3 — As in previous games in the series, the player controls any of several different vehicles across open world maps modeled after real-life cities. The game recreates the cities of Paris and Washington, DC in the game. City maps cover smaller areas than real cities, although they are larger than their comparable counterparts in Midtown Madness and Midtown Madness 2. In single-player mode, the player can freely roam, race, or complete objective-based missions. In Cruise mode (free movement), the player can change the number of pedestrians and the volume of traffic.
