About Mad City:
So much wasted potential here. So this game could definitely be a very good game, but I just can’t recommend it because it’s pretty horrible overall. Don’t get me wrong, it’s laughably bad and if you can ignore all the game’s issues, it can be nice arcade fun. It just has too many problems. The first problem is that I was getting maybe 45 frames per second most of the time. I only got 90 frames when I was the only car on the roadway. I even dropped graphical options to medium for everything and only had it projecting on my VR headset (no mirror on desktop). Did not really help at all. Severe frame drops and pop-in graphical issues and artifacts. The AI vehicles on the roadway acted strangely. They would randomly crash for no apparent reason. They would go off the roadway for no apparent reason. I went all over the map and tried some races. I only got one to work. The other race was bugged. I didn’t see any story. I didn’t see any missions. Just basically drive to the nearest icon so you can race. I only saw timed race and battle race. The timed race did not work for me. There was no way to reset my position in the car. Driving in first person was just too difficult to see so it’s much better to drive in 3rd person. The driving is arcade fun … when it works. The problem is that it rarely works. You just basically go up to any vehicle and press Y to steal it. That’s really the only similarity to GTA. GTA was never this bad on its worst day. GTA Vice city looks nicer than this game.
