Midnight Club: Street Racing

"Wow,a Lowrider!"

This game is a fast game ,but if you have played Smuggler's Run before than your going to get bored a lot fatser.

The game play is good but its all the same, just go to the check point and so on.Its Head to Head or about 6 cars in the race.The car damage is good but in 2 player mode it has no damage and the tires do not even move! You can can't upgrade your cars, but you unlock 3 types of 1 car. You start out in a taxi as a taxi driver.It has 3 lowriders in the game. The two cities are basicly the same. There are some hidden areas in the cities ( cities are NY and London ). Midnight Club brings to the PlayStation 2 the action of high speed driving and adventure through two major cities in the world. The concept behind this game derives from the illegal races of real-world Midnight Clubs. Pedestrians and ambient traffic heavily populate NYC and London.Eight major classes of vehicles, with many styles in each class, provide over 30 different options.

The core gameplay consists of 39 races of high-speed maneuvering through completely open city streets. Live life in the insane lane, escape the law and accumulate an arsenal of vehicles. The true openness of the cities, accurate car physics and responsive controls complete the package

The sound is the worst thing in this game,(I hate Techno,so its a little better than what I say) but its the same 4 or 5 songs I hate, its just a beat.It should have some rap or better techno(if you like that).All the cars sound the same and it has one nitro effect sound. If you take out the game you can hardly tell the differents.

Now the Controls is good the only thing I do not like is the Nitros button(L3 button)I usually hit the nitros when im turning.Great steering helps the game a lot.It is fun for about a month or two. Pretty much ever thing is the same as Smuggler's Run. Some times i stop and press trangle to got out of my car cause I think I am playing Grand Theft Auto III.

But the Overall if you like Imports or street racing you should get Midnight Club(better than TXR:Z).It's now a greatest hit, so it should be cheap. This is one of a few racing games i like and even though I hate imports its still a pretty good game.
