Players can change the visual appearance of the game before starting a race, such as the weather and time of day. The Stunt Driver course in San Francisco allows the player to gain experience in stunt driving for a Hollywood movie, using the Ford Mustang Fastback. The Cab Driving School in London follows an extremist view of a London cab driver, where a player must complete objectives in a London cab. A Crash Course can be completed in each of the cities. Winning Blitz, Checkpoint and Circuit races allows the player to access unlockables, and the Cruise mode lets the player roam freely around the two open world recreations of London and San Francisco. There are Blitz, Checkpoint, Circuit, and Cruise modes, which are all derived from the original Midtown Madness game.
The game features a range of vehicles that can be driven around London and San Francisco. A Freightliner Century participating in a race
