Well, before everyone gets all whipped up about this; let's not forget the "wonderful" job that TRI and Microsoft did with CPR. A game that could have been awesome was rushed out, given a quick patch and left for dead. Let's hope they have changed since then.

TRI, is not developing Midtown Madness. TRI currently uses the Gathering of Developers for publishing it's games and will not release a game until it is properly finished. Thanks, John

I have had an Idea for a driving game for along time that would be very similar I think. It would be called Late for work or Rush Hour and have realistic roads with traffic, stop signs, lights and cops. It would have realistic car physics and damage like Viper racing. You could do all the things you wish you could do when your late for work like run a stop sign, weave through traffic at 100mph or put the car in low gear and push that slow car in front of you out the way (or maybe the hornball cheat <g>). This new game sounds like they might have gotten the idea from the Blues Brothers Movie that had a car chase in Chicago. Looks like fun, Lutrell :-)

> C'mon, guys...you don't know San Francisco Rush when you see it?! :-) You played "Vette!" ? San Franscico Rush was an attempt at that. Vette! to this day has been the most entertaining sim for me, it was a blast with my mouse wheel. :-) Just thinking about it I gotta get that on the PC I'm on now. There have been quite a few Vette! immatators, 2 that have even dealt with the same city; I hope Microsoft does a good job on it. -- Jon Van Ginneken "...come on man...that's not ordinary, that's extrodinary." --"Iron" Mike Tyson
