This game is awful. I like racers, but what the heck is this? This game has you racing against people that are either very stupid or super-human, you are not equally matched against anyone! ....
P.S. Okay graphics are the only plus!
Too hard to win

Graphics are okay. Gameplay is fine. However, you practically have to be a professional NASCAR driver to win once you start moving up in the levels. I don't feel like re-racing for one hour or more just to win one race! And why do you have to chase the person you want to initially race for 5 to 10 minutes or more just to race them once you catch them?
Bottom line: Rent it, don't buy it.
Buy it used, better yet don't buy it at all

The game play wasn't very captivating and became mundane and repetitive after only a few games. I was willing to sell this thing... less than three weeks after I bought it.... Don't pay attention to the hype. This game isn't all that it is cracked up to be.
If you are getting the Midnight Club game, read this first!

Somehow I thought that this game was cool, but I believe I was mistaken. This game looked like you could crash inside the stores and the cops in your tail. But no, this game has rules such as racing fast and the cops chasing you for no freaken reasing, doesn't that ... Come on ROCKSTAR GAMES, make games that are cool not dumb like this one. I want my money back because I wasted ... plus tax for nothing. Please rent the game first ok people, before buying it because then you are going to feel the same way I feel.
The best game for PS2!!!

Please keep in mind that your rating of my review is on how HELPFUL it is, not how much it coincides with your opinion of this game.
I own a few racing games - most of them are simple, as in, step on the pedal, don't hit the walls, and you win. This game is certainly not as simple as that, in fact, it may be a bit too difficult.
Midnight Club mostly involves you following another car around a city you select. The city graphics and true-to-life city maps are pretty nifty. However, I found it difficult to determine where the race begins and ends, and thus usually impossible to win a race.
In the beginning of the game you are crippled with the worst car possible, in comparison to every perfect-driving computer opponent with a car two classes more powerful and manueverable than yours.
I don't consider myself a novice at driving games, having played out Crazy Taxi and Gran Turismo, but it was only through sheer persistence that I managed to win only two races during the week I had the game before I returned it. It wasn't fun struggling through the many many races before I won, and I certainly did not feel rewarded for my efforts.
My advice - Skip this title and try Crazy Taxi or GT3.
This game is great!

The cruise mode alone is awesome. In the cruise mode you can drive around and do whateva u want for as long as you want! And the cars you unlock are awesome! I highly recomnened this game for people who love racing because you play cocky people 1 on 1 to win their cars and stuff. A+++
Midnight Club is Good, but it Freezes

The game is great, just read the other reviews, but I have to mention one problem with it. If you plan on playing the game for over an hour and a half, don't get it. It freezes after you play for that long. Otherwise, it's a really good pick.
And the best streetracer game is:

Okay, this is a very enjoyable game. The graphics are excellent, with the cars looking almost real, you can drive anywhere -- including through buildings. This is a very straight-forward game, you race your cars against "seasoned" streetracers, move yourself up in the world, as you do you get the deed to their cars in special races.
My big problem with it is, sometimes the jokes that the characters throw out while are funny the first time or too around -- after you get into several races with them they start get very tiring very fast. But thast has nothing to do with the gameplay itself.
You do have to be careful of some of the cars -- they all have their own "flaws", but if you can learn what they are and how to work around them you can actually get them to work for you.
OK Game...

I bought this without renting...to tell the truth, I was expecting a bit more. The graphics on the back of the box look mindblowing..but when you load this game up, it just lacks shine. Running at 30 frames, it's OK, but it can do better..60 frames. Now that would be great. In this game, you do same thing over and over..gets boring. So if you don't to do things repeatedly, don't buy this.
