Midtown Madness 2 Game Download Review

Because it is no longer supported or available on stores like Steam or GOG, many classic gaming archives host the game as a free download. While downloading abandonware exists in a legal grey area (copyright technically still exists, but the copyright holder is not enforcing it or selling the product), most retro PC gamers consider it safe for preservation.

For many PC gamers who grew up in the early 2000s, Midtown Madness 2 (MM2) is more than just a game—it is a core memory. Developed by Angel Studios (now Rockstar San Diego) and published by Microsoft, this 2000 arcade racer took everything great about the original Chicago-based game and supercharged it with British flair.

If you want a legal alternative, check out Midtown Madness 3 for the original Xbox (exclusive to console) or Forza Horizon 4 (also set in Britain). But for the true retro experience—go download MM2 today. Have you managed to get Midtown Madness 2 running on your PC? Let us know in the comments which car you pick first: The Mini Cooper or the Mustang?
