Cruise

Cruise is a free roam mode featured in all Midtown Madness installments.

Players can explore the city at their own pace and can customize the weather and the density settings of traffic, cops, and pedestrians as they please.

Overview
Each Midtown Madness installment has different layouts of cruise modes.

 The main driving location in Midtown Madness takes place in Chicago. Players have the option of customizing time of day, weather, traffic, cops, and the amount of pedestrians while cruising in Chicago.

Cruise Settings
''

From the Race Selection menu screen, the players have the freedom to adjust the weather, the time of day, and the amount of traffic, pedestrians, and cops. These customizations are always unlocked from the beginning, as opposed to races which always have these settings preset. The player will have to win the race in order to earn these customizations.

For example, in MM1, the player can remove all the cops, pedestrians, and traffic in order to have an empty and quiet Chicago (aside from the planes, the El train, and the ships on the seaside).

Trivia

 * This mode caught the eyes of many gamers of the original Midtown Madness: Chicago Edition (or Midtown Madness 1) at the time of its release in 1999.
 * In Midtown Madness' cruise mode, the player's vehicle always starts on Columbus Drive, a little south of E Congress Plaza Drive and E Harrison Street in Chicago, no matter how many traffic vehicles, cops and pedestrians are around. In Midtown Madness 2's cruise mode, the starting location varies in both San Francisco and London.
