Midtown Madness 3 is the third game in Microsoft's city racing franchise. It features 40 Blitz and Checkpoint races, a career mode titled "Work Undercover" which spans 54 varied missions (from racing to driving a pizza car to taking control of an armored bank truck), and a complete online mode that allows you to challenge players over Xbox. There are two cities to choose from, both modeled after their real counterpart; Paris and Washington D.C. Paris is the more open ended city, great for beginners, while Washington features lots of narrow streets, sharp and hairpin turns, and various other distractions.
There are over thirty licensed vehicles to choose from, from a Lotus Esprit Turbo to a real-life garbage truck. Each vehicle has it's own different characteristics, including speed, handling and acceleration.
Over Xbox Live, you can compete in various games such as Capture The Gold, Hunter, and Tag.
Midtown Madness 3 supports voice and allows you to download various content.
The game was released on 2003-06-27 for the Xbox console.
