Midnight Club 2
this game is fun, it looks as though rockstar is using a modified version of the GTA engine. So if you are good @ losing the cops tearing thru the streets on that game, you'll be able to dive right into this one with ease.
Diffrent abilities and vehicles( including street bikes ) are opened up as you progress thru the game. Burnout,two-wheel motion..slipstream nitros..etc. Graphics are nice, good particle effects for the sparks. And the wheather effects look great too. Sound is awsome on this game turn up the stereo for this one.. I hear the xbox version has the customizable soundtrack feature. a great game, i feel what rockstar san diego is trying to do here. MC3 should be even better if they stick to the same formula minus a few cheesy aspects of the game. digimortal - is now a Mindnight Club fan

It wasnt all that difficult to me, but I got bored after a little while. I think that maybe I should've spent more time playing it, but I just couldnt get into it...
I just think it was too much of an arcade style game, and i'd rather play something more realistic. The controls were what I had to spend the most time getting used to, the other thing is the graphics werent really that good. It uses the same engine as GTA, but some things just didnt look right to me. I wasnt very fond of the soundtrack either, it just didnt help me get into the game. |

how far did you get? or rather how much were you able to tolerate? did you get the street bike?
The game is an arade racer no doubt about it. Kinda reminds me of Project Gotham but not as much of a simulation game as PGR tries to be. Another thing I was able to appreciate was the big courses in this game. They're huge...i mean some races take you all over the city.

i've finally reached Mokoto, the champion of Japan.
This game is excellent, i won the sickest street bike of the game called the Nousagi from ZEN. After that the rest of the game pretty much was in the bag. ...except for now. To win the right to race against Mokoto, i must first pass his time trial which is very difficult. digimortal - oh and the xbox version i heard doesn't support custom tracks, ain't that a beeyotch!

A tip for those having trouble...Try creating your own courses in the race editor...its great for practicing using new shortcuts for your advantage. Unfortunately, you can't have opponents in races that you create that include certain checkpoints. But these races are still worth creating for yourself to practice navigating the cities and avoiding diferent levels of traffic. I consider the process of having to get better at this kind of thing to be that "ultimate street racer" part of the fun. The game is very arcade like there is no doubt about that in car physics, but I think that helps create a balance when considering the nature of it...racing through traffic...heavy traffic and the breakneck speed decisions you must make. I agree, it would still be interesting to see this type of game with more realistic car handling physics. I have a lot of mixed feelings abotu this game myself. I can't say anymore about it in detail until later for certain reasons. Just take my advice and try all the modes...especially the race editor. It'll take a lot of trial and error to create your perfect races, but there's also a nifty 'generate random race feature' well check it out. _RED_ stuff

i can't help but feel more respect for this game the farther i get. The action can get pretty crazy toward the end..especially the last few races i've had against Savo. He took me back to Paris after defeating him in Japan twice, and after beating him in Paris twice.. i'm now back to where it all began. L.A.

Rockstar is good at racing games and caar physics which is why this game may be good. Its more of an arcade title thought which makes it a bit less realistic. But the game sounds fun, i just wouldnt hesitate to play it anytime soon.
Well, at least Rockstar is keeping theior eyes off GTA for nwo, i wodner what GRA 5 is going to be like? |

I do agree that the car models, for example, are not as nice as say, NFS: HP2, and certainly not as good as Gran Turismo, but they are nothing to scoff at as much as they are not quite so much to stare at in much of any kind of awe either. Well, now that I've put my two cents in, I'm curious if anybody else would go so far as to say the graphics "suck." That's a strong word. (Hmmm...Perhaps I should take a closer look at them?) WEll just saying, IMO, they are pretty decent. _RED_ stuff

ok so who had to use codes to win?
I almost resorted to cheating on the last race against Savo. Then out of desperation i used te Nousagi and was able to finally win. For anyone having trouble with that race..jut try to maintain at least a third place position thru the entire race. Then at the 2nd to last stretch while still on the freeway use all your nitros..or if you are on a bike *which i highly recommend*. Lift up the front wheel to gain speed an keep the wheel up until you reach the sharp right turn at the end of the that stretch. Then you got one more long stretch to go until you reach the gas station.

I just went through a pretty damn long explanation about my take on the graphics. Show some damn respect next time, atleast. Actually, now that I think about it, I apologize for my little outburst there... _RED_ stuff

Okay Red I was speaking of the moment, there just better, still the same game who cares.
Okay got the game finnaly, (Xbox but its simlar right?) the Grahpics are still a bit niffy, but it dose'nt matter, this game is sooooo challenging, it takes me about 10 to 25 trys to do complete a race unless im lucky, hit no traffic or find a shortcut, im still in LA, but I love this game, its not easy, I can see myslef in the future buying a new controller with all the fustration this game gives me! Digimortal, respect for you doing this game, its major hard.
