Midnight Club Street Racing 2
Utilize deft driving skills through Paris, Los Angeles, and Tokyo.
Midnight Club II builds on the illegal street racing fun found in the PS2 launch title Midnight Club. Like that game it pits you against street toughs in non-linear street races, all for bragging rights and access to better and more sophisticated rides. New in Midnight Club II are the police and the ability to drive a motorcycle. The game begins with you in the charge of a slob named Moses. He acts as tutor, teaching you how to control your beater car and how to use power-ups, as well as offering overall moral support. He teaches you how to go about the business of the game: earning new gear such as Nitrous Oxide, new cars, and even new controls. The award of new controls later in the game show how you're a novice driver at the start but by the end you're a pro who can land on all four wheels after a jump, expertly control a power slide turn, and much, much more. Much of the game consists of cruising around three large and well rendered cities: Paris, Tokyo, and Los Angeles. You don't just challenge someone to a race or sign up for an event and show up. Instead you get a map and have to follow a red dot. The dot is a rival racer. Once you track and chase him down, you flash your high beams and then you can race him. It's a clever way of giving you a warm up, keeping you immersed in the game, and best of all, teaching you the layout of each city. Racing is fun, fast, and furious. This isn't a simulation, it's an arcade-style racer--but the physics system is internally consistent so it feels more "realistic" than it actually is. Rockstar has put a premium on keeping you in control, keeping the thrill-factor high, and giving you a heart stopping sense of speed. The graphics are fantastic and the cities are incredibly detailed. As a counter-point, the voice acting is just plain awful. Midnight Club II offers a wide range of game modes ensuring it will be playable for a long time to come: career, mission, and a mode that lets you just jump into a race. Multiplayer is possible in hotseat mode, but it also supports Internet play. Internet lag is bad over dial-up modem (PS2), but broadband players (Xbox Live or PS2) will find the game silky smooth. All of this makes Midnight Club II a great addition to any videogame racing fan's library, but a must for online fans.--Bob Andrews Pros: - Great physics, intense action
- Excellent graphics
- Plenty of game modes, including broadband multiplayer
Cons:
In Midnight Club II you are an elite, next-generation illegal street racer, racing through the cities of Paris, Los Angeles, and Tokyo. Each location boasts open-ended routes, loads of shortcuts, and massive jumps. Filled with pedestrians, vehicles backing out of driveways, benches, lights, parking meters, trash, and other municipal properties, these living cities will require complete concentration and deft driving skills.

Midnight Club Street Racing 2 Reviews
On the game you can customize your car to whatever you want it to look like and the decals are sickerning. The game is very exciting when you are racing against Online and against the computer.
If u want a good MC game then get MC 3 DUB edition. This game was good at the time it was made, but there r better street racing games.
it got too repetative and predictable. the graphics were improved dramatically and the physics of the car. this is definite improvement from its predecessor. same with the first, i got bored after a few hours of gameplay. the only gripe i had was interest level.
But its a great game to play when you wanna escape the rules of "real-life" and you have an urge to jump off a ramp and soar halfway across a city at 300+ mph. The only problem I've had with the game so far is that the computer players get unbelievably hard after you leave Los Angeles and the number of obstacles is exhausting. I've been playing this game for awhile and I have to say that its the most addicting racing game I've ever come across. You can race in a ton of different vehicles ranging from a simple Civic to a totally tricked-out Aston-Martin. The marathon-length races are a huge plus in my book and I actually enjoy the computer voices talking trash while you're trying to concentrate.
yo this game is the bomb i like it so bad i hope if they make mc 4 they better make it with people going for aride with you and a you can come out of your vechile and talk to people on the side of the street and i hope they make it with more places to go like calaforinia and somewhere in the carribean like jamaica and the small islands of st eustatius saba st maarten curacua bonaire aruba peurto rico and nederlands.
