This game surprised me, in a good way!

I normally don't like racing games, I want a game with some sort of plot or goal to accomplish. So when I rented this game I wasn't really expecting much, but boy was I surprised. I LIKED this game quite a bit. This games pace is great, the graphics are really good(which I think goes without saying). This game has some downfalls don't get me wrong, the downfalls are the limited amount of cities that it gives to race in. It has several different modes you can choose, it has a career mode, which can be fun, it has an arcade mode, which includes a capture the flag mode, which is kind of unique, and it has a head to head mode which I didn't have a chance to play. This was a very cool game that I really enjoyed. I had no problem with this game at all, I didn't see any problems with it whatsoever except for the very limited tracks(cities) to choose from. You may want to rent this title first as it may not be for you, but this was rental that I may rent or purchase again in the future.

When I first saw this game i just had a really bad feelin about it. it just didnt seem good, but i let a stupid and fake person talk me into buyin it, he just threw off the whole game for me. He said that you could snatch poeple out of their cars, and candy paint cars, and put gold thangs on the cars. but wut really got me pumped was he said that there were old schools, like cutlases and regals, but he lies again. DONT BUY THIS GAME, PLEASE RENT IT FIRST....

Not the best....

Don't make the same mistake I did - the first PS2 game I bought was Gran Turismo 3, now every game I play seems pretty poor in comparison. Midnight Club is very much an arcade racer, not a simulation in any way, the cars and circuits are almost cartoon-like. It's a good idea for a game, but seems to have been executed very poorly. It soon becomes tiresome, and after a couple of hours of play you'll be putting it back in it's case and reaching for something else. Chasing little dots around a city doesn't hold the fun for too long, and there's little else to do. The cities seem quite accurate, I lived in Central London for several years and could even find my old apartment building! :) Overall, I'd say if you've already played GT3 and Nascar Heat 2, don't buy this game - you'll be sorely disappointed - if this is your first driving game you'll probably have lots of fun with it.

You have no idea what you are talking about

Everyone who gave this game 1 star can't even read at a first grade level. The only reason you hate this game is because it was too hard for your gamer scrambled brains. Get a life! GO play sports instead of sitting infront of a television all the time. You know, the radiation that comes from the tv is actually bad for you.

When I first bought this game, i thought that it would be much like The Fast and the Furious. It was satisfying after a while, but the game gets so BORING! It's extremely messed up and this is my opinion and I feel it is one of the worst games i have ever played! I sincerely hope that Midnight Club 2 is better, because it sure sounds better!

Play control great, but nothing special.

Its really easy to control the vehicle, and the cars look neat, but the game really doesn't stand out as a racing game. Although I only played this game as a four day rental, I have the following issues with it:

1) Looks like the used the engine from Midtown Madness with different cars and the ability to hit people.
2) No guts when you hit people, litter, sparks, needs more realism?
3) Acceleration a bit too slow. It gets better as you get better vehicles, but it can be annoying in the beginning.
4) Needs more jumps and cool stuff. Midtown madness had drawbridges and stuff that made great jumps. Maybe use Car Carriers or something.

I suggest holding out for Grand Turismo and seeing what people say about it.

In secret gatherings around the world a mysterious group of urban streetracers, known as the Midnight Club, race for pride, power and glory in sleekly customized, tricked-out sports cars.

* Furious action in accurate models of New York and London.

* Race anywhere in a living city.

* Win pink slips of the opposing racers.

Speeding through crowded streets. Running red lights. Terrorizing pedestrians. Driving on sidewalks and outrunning the cops are merely the beginning for the "Midnight Club". You know the rules. There are none!

Whats Missing here?!

Checked out the box before I bought the game.Loved the idea of the game and the games graphics looked awesome (look at the picture with the highly detailed road,yellow car, and skidmarks). Now when I got home and put the game in I thought, where is the game pictured on the box. The backgrounds are horrible, the cars are horrible, and I have yet to see one skidmark on the road...and dont even mention the crappy looking water. I could have sworn this was a PSone game. Is the game fun..yah for about 2 min. This game had potential to be awesome and in my opinion it flopped. Just my 2 cents.

Umm, I don't know what some of the reviewers are smoking but

This game really just ...

The graphics are terrible for a PS2 game. Oh, ok, up close the street looks pretty decent. The buildings look like lovely blocks up until you get close enough to ram them. More than once I've found myself driving over nebulous gray something that may have been concrete. It's a sad waste of what the PS2 is capable of. Oh, but the wet streets right under your car look ok, as the building textures suddenly pop into view as you zoom past.

It's somewhat ok as a multiplayer game, but even then it's only so so. These guys tried to make a game to compete with carmageddon in the original midtown madness. That was mediocre too. It's pretty obvious they're trying too hard to make something for the masses that is a toned down version of just that -- carmageddon.

Save yourself the cash, don't buy this one. It's pathetic.

Here is an idea!

I have a great idea for an awesome driving game!

A driving simulation that you just drive in traffic day and day out. All you do is obey the speeding limits, use your turn signal and pass legally. Rear end someone, break speeding limit, and do something stupid. The cops are after you like a hawk!

After seeing all those police chase videos, you realize that you cannot evade the cops no matter what. So what the heck you put the pedal to the metal and later get caught and etc...

To final stage is to wait through a traffic jam in the middle of rush hour in New York City and then find a parking space next to your run down apartment!
