Not bad

This game is fun for a couple of hours but then becomes kind of repetitive, especially who PC gamers who have played Midtown Madness and Midtown Madness 2 (developed by the same guys). The graphics is decent, although it does not appear to be as sharp as on a PC with a good 3D graphics card (maybe it's the nature of TV images). I wouldn't say it's worth the money if you have played MM2, but makes a good rental title.

finally a great GAME

I liked this game for the first couple of weeks after i bought it. The game was started to get boring and predictable. I had more fun just driving with my cousin and crashing into each other. The graphics are ok but they could of done so much better with them. I don't think it should be one of playstation 2 greatest hits.

It's fun then blah...

this game is very fun in the beginning when you are trying to get better cars and beat faster people... it kept me entertained for a few hours but when i learned the map, the techniques of the computer driver, and the shortcuts, the game became very repetative... it was just blah... i would recommend NFS over this game...

Night illegal racing

I like this game. It is nice to drive in a living city with so nice physics ( the collisions are great, something that you can not find even in Grand Truism.) It has a very personal special effects that you can not find anywhere. It is a game that anybody in the family can play it and you have the carrier mode that it is for gamers, where you have to earn your victories with strategy and experience.

I strongly recommended.

good overall game that seems to have gotten overlooked

Midnight Club has good overall game play, but there are some lacking areas. Yes, the graphics are lacking for PS2 technology, but then this was a release title--remember what the PSX release games looked like compared to the more recent titles? It seems that accuracy on the streets was more important to this game developer than the actual graphics themselves. From the times that I have been to London, it seems pretty darn accurate. If you can overlook the fact that there are PS2 games with better graphics, then this game is a must for your driving library. No, it's not exactly racing like you would find in Ridge Racer V, but it is still a racing style game. There is plenty of game play for drivers of all ages, and drivers of all ranges of skills. What am I somking on of the reviewers wants to know? NOTHING, I just see the game for what it is, and also know what it can be in the future. I am enjoying the games that I have now, and looking forward to a few years from now when I can say "boy--all those PS2 release titles had REALLY REALLY bad graphics---What were we thinking?"

Good Game play. Good Extended playability. Good variety for all ages and skill ranges.

Zero stars if it was possible!!!

What are all these positive reviewers smoking? I rented this game, and was severely disappointed to say the least. The box made this game look like a playable "Fast and the Furious" type game. Boy, was I disappointed. I rented it, and brought it back the next day. My friend is big into racing games, and he said "I need to buy this" after watching the opening cinema. However, the gameplay is [terrible], as we both soon found out. Seeing that this was made by Rockstar, we expected something in the area of Grand Theft Auto 3, but with more emphasis on racing. What we got was Playstation One graphics, no cars to start off with except for a stupid taxi and truck, and no incentive to unlock the other cars. I felt like I was playing Sega 32X!!!!!!!! Avoid this game like the plague, rent or buy Grand Turismo 3 instead!!!!!!!!! Please, it's for your own good.

No idea why this called a "Greatest Hit"

I lost a whole lot of faith in the whole video game world when this game was added to the list of greatest hits. This game totally blows. I think it's fantastic that they mapped out the streets so well. They should have spent a whole lot more time making the game interesting. I was very excited about purchasing this game, really like the idea of racing cars through city streets, sounds way cool. Reality: Get in car, chase other car, get insulted by other drivers, rerace, find the shortcut, rerace again, use the shortcut, win race. By the time I raced and reraced the same thing a few times, I had lost complete interest in this game. Total waste of time and money. Game is way too limited, very linear, you have to finish one thing, then you have to finish the next. Just stealing a car and causing havoc in GTA3 is much better than this whole game. And... I'll end with... Playstation.Com as of 9/14/2002 listed this game as number 6 of the top 10 game sales. Did that many other people make the same mistake buying this game? I let a friend borrow it (hoped he would forget to give it back). He gave it back to me the next day and said "Worst game ever."

Worst Midnight Club Game Ever Made

Good:
NONE

Bad:
Poor Graphics
No Customization of the cars that you can do
no ponding of rain on the roads like on versions 2 and 3:DUB
Poor weather condition graphics, good in Midnight Club 2 and 3

If you plan on buying this game, it really sucks, so do not buy it, even if you like it. I rather you purchase DUB EDITION: 3rd MC game.

My overall ratings of the game are:
Fun=100% (for a month in 2004)
Fun Rating Now: 0% (for the remainder of 2004 and some of 2005)

The last time I played this game was over 9 months ago, it got so boring because of graphics and the poorly made cars.

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING ABOUT THIS GAME: It really sucks, so do not buy it.

What a waste of money

It's a stinker. I normally write verbose reviews with pros and cons and try to be objective but I took this game out of my console within 10 minutes because it was so bad (or rather it really didn't show me why I should pay for this title on PS2 rather than buying Midtown Madness 2.0 for PC - written by the same developers).

Didn't really push the PS2's features, car control and physics were poor, graphics were fine but nothing spectacular...not like some of the other launch titles, and choice of cars was limited and cartoony.

Save your money and wait for GT3.
