This was the worst game I have ever played. I am an avid gamer with some of the best records known in gaming history, and I will tell you, all my fellow gamers out there, that this has to be the most pointless, stupid and boring game that has ever existed on this planet. Not to mention the graphics .... Don't waste your money on it- it's not worth it. Rather spend it on GTA Vice City- way better use of your money folks. Outie.

I don't own this game. BUT - I've seen it played on a PS2 (I own an XBox). Overall, I was unimpressed. The graphics look old and the towns crackling with pixelation. Kind of like the games I was used to on our old computers...nothing compared to the smooth, defined glow of the graphics Burnout 3 has on Xbox. You start with total crap for a car, and are supposed to build up as you "break into the underground". Really, you go crawling around in your tank - it says you're going 120 but it looks like you're going 35. Honest, I could imagine one of the pedestrians grabbing a skateboard and keeping up with the cars!

In Burnout 3, you literally rocket through the levels, flying at crazy speeds weaving in and out of traffic. Gets you excited. I watched someone drive their car in Midnight around for a while and about fell asleep...plus, no car damage, or not much. The old school "shove others out of the way, my car's invincible" gag.

Maybe it's just me. Maybe Burnout 3 spoiled me, or I just have alternate tastes. But I don't get why so many gamers stand behind sub-par games. Silent Hill 4 was supposed to be good - CRAP. Halo 2, perhaps the biggest game ever, was hyped to the max - BOR RING. Maybe I'm just got particular tastes in games that I just have to realize, for I've been disappointed recently.

Want good games, I suggest Burnout 3, Wolfenstein for a shooter (its okay) and Mortal Kombat Deception (bloody good fun). But I don't recommend this. Ugh.

The reason I am saying this game sucks is because after at least 1-4 months I quit playing this. I have not played this game for more than over 2 months, last time I played this game was probably in May.

Good:
NONE

Bad:
Poor Voice Acting
You are not able to customize your cars

For those of you who plan on buying this game, do not, because this game really sucks.

good at the time

This game was good at the time it was made, but there r better street racing games. If u want a good MC game then get MC 3 DUB edition.

Over rated

This game is frustrating and will make you want to bust your TV, if not your Playstation. Say what!, the only way to advance is to get first place? Okay, after time and time again, once you know the courese and can probably race it blind folded you can get it. You ever play Driver? Remeber the very last level when you drive the president and these black cars are constantly ramming you? Think of how that made you feel. You will get that same feeling when you place this game.

This is a really dumb game.

Don't let young kids play this game. Street racing is pretty fun, with all the turns and so on. But when there are people walking in the street you're racing on, then hit them it turns out to be a pretty dumb game.

Your racing around a corner and wham! What just hit the windsheild!? You can't even slow down in time to miss the poor little person in the road.

This is how the game works, you find a racer in a city, flash your brights, follow the racer around the city trying to miss the people walking on the street and the side walks, you follow to the next big race (6 cars), you race, hitting people with your car, turn a corner, hit more people, race on a freeway, take an exit, turn a corner, hit more people, and do the same thing over and over again.

This game is just plain stupid.

Try something like GT3 or 4X4 EVO, these are "clean" racing games.

A Fun, Fast Racer without a Lot of Depth

Midnight Club 2 is a solid racer with great control and good graphics. The racing action is very fast and intensely exciting, and many of the competitions are very challenging. Also, there seems to be some behind-the-scenes handicapping going on so that you're never really out of any race - I've had horrible multi-mishap runs where the difference between first and last was only a second or two. This keeps every run exciting to the finish.

Unfortunately, after a while, all of the competitions get repetitive. Career mode should have been so much better, but it turns out to be very linear: trail competitor-race competitor-win competitor's car-repeat. When racing for pink slips, you put up nothing in the wager, so the heat's off you every time. If you lose the first time, just keep trying until you take the poor guy's car. It would have been better to have a dynamic wagering system where you build up a bank account and race primarily for agreed-upon amounts of money. After all, in the "real world" of underground racing, no one would automatically accept the ultimate challenge so readily. The wager system would make a race for slips a real event rather than just another notch on your belt. But what good would the winnings be unless you could spend them on goodies for the car? The cars in the game are all stock - you can't upgrade them or trick them out at all. If you could use your money to do this, this would have given the game much more lasting appeal. Hustling other online drivers out of their money in an Emu quietly souped up to perform like a Veloci would keep me coming back night after night.

All in all a fun game, but not the sure-fire rave that many other reviewers are making it out to be. Recommendation - rent first buy second.

PROS
* Exciting race action
* Good car control
* Online play capabilities (broadband only)

CONS
* Lack of depth in career mode
* Inability to modify cars
* Some of the soundtrack (what's the only thing worse than Limp Bizkit? A knock-off of Limp Bizkit made for a video game - if I have to hear that "Put Ya Top Down, Playa" track one more time. . . )
