Midnight Club 2 - Now with 100% more Rockstar San Diego - Games

[img]http://img.listal.com/image/110308/600full-midnight-club-ii-cover.jpg[/img] [b][u]Platforms: Playstation 2, Xbox, and PC[/b][/u] [url=http://store.steampowered.com/app/12160/]Available on Steam![/url] [release]Midnight Club II is the first sequel to Midnight Club: Street Racing, published for the PlayStation 2, Xbox and Microsoft Windows. Players race through cities inspired by Los Angeles, Paris, and Tokyo. The game also features an online multiplayer component.[/release] [b][u]Gameplay[/b][/u] [release]Races consist of a series of checkpoints, represented by columns of light. In some races, the order in which the checkpoints must be cleared is prescribed. In this case, a transparent, glowing arrow points to the next checkpoint. In other races the checkpoints may be cleared in any order. In that case, the arrow points to the nearest checkpoint. It is up to the player which route to take from one checkpoint to the next. There are no artificial barriers in the game's open world environment that force the player to stay on a specific course. Any area that is drivable or jumpable in the free-roaming cruise mode between races may be used to get to the next checkpoint. Some areas can be driven upon that are not intended for such use outside of a computer game. Examples are escalators, roofs, railways and riverbeds and many ramps. However, many areas that would be drivable in reality, for example entrances and some stairs, are fenced off with invisible barriers. In some areas, the player can jump or drop down. Using this to the player's advantage can be necessary in order to win a race. If the car falls into deep water,the damage meter goes to its maximum stage and the car starts to overheat and the race is immediately lost. The game features a damage model. The amount of damage inflicted upon a car is indicated by both an HUD indicator and visual damage to the car. The performance of a car does not degrade with damage. When the damage limit of a car is exceeded, the car explodes or stalls. After a delay of a few seconds, the player can continue with a new car.[/release] [b][u]Cars - Read this for the reason why the Mitsubishi Evo is FWD[/b][/u] [release]The vehicles in Midnight Club II all resemble real life vehicles but have subtle differences to their counterparts, such as different headlamps or tail lights. Also, most of them have aesthetical modifications commonly found in the street racing and import scenes, e.g. spoilers and body kits. In the car selection menu, descriptions and stats of each vehicle can be seen, along with the option to choose among 4 colors. Once a car is viewed a sound effect is played in the background, which is unique to each one of them. The SLF450X is the only original vehicle in the game. Although no stats are seen of this vehicle, practical exercises show it has the highest performance capability of all vehicles previously listed. It's capable of reaching 400KM/H+ without nitrous. Since the game is not capable of replicating AWD vehicles, they are only available with RWD or FWD setups. An example of this is the Knight (based on the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII, with an AWD system in real-life), which only has the power driven to the front wheels. Moreover, the Stadt has a FWD setup instead of the MR layout of the real-life Renault Clio V6 that is based on. The reason for this is that FWD cars usually offer a more stable driving in-game with less risks to spin out, and thus its description available in the menu states that it has formidable handling.[/release] [b][u]The Pokemon like Characters[/b][/u] [release]Each character will cruise around the city waiting for a challenge. this only excludes Moses, who is waiting in front of the player, and the four champions (4th champion is the World Champion) who will seek you out after all predessors are beaten. They will talk to the player or 'think loudly' during pre-race cutscenes during which you can discover their motives, learn statistics of their vehicle, and preview their theme song.[/release] [b][u]Things you may like[/b][/u] [release] - The fact that this was developed by Rockstar San Diego, the same developers of Red Dead Redemption. - Just cruising around Los Angeles in an Aston Martin can consume up to half an hour, up to 1 hour if you try to find every ramp in L.A. - You can drive in Los Angeles, Paris, and Tokyo - Just like in GTA, every car in this game is based off of a real one - The multiplayer, is actually somewhat alive. - When you beat the whole game somehow, you get a car with a MOTHERFUCKING JET ENGINE - The soundtrack is absolutely amazing - There's a cheat code that enables your car to shit out bullets and rockets, for PC it's leatherandlace - The motorcycle biker flips you off after staying still for 30 seconds. - Jumps, jumps everywhere. - It's incredibly easy to drift in this game, provided you're in the right weather conditions - Editable weather conditions - You can hit and kill the pedestrians, which is a bit sad actually. - You can make your car drive on it's side. - Powerups[/release] [b][u]Things you might not like[/b][/u] [release] - Some of the races are incredibly hard or confusing. - If you fuck up while you're in first place, you're instantly in last place. - The Knight (Mitsubishi Evolution) is FWD for some reason - Most of the online community speaks a foreign language - The police are incredibly easy to get away from, actually way too easy. - Traffic will spawn from nowhere, this is annoying as fuck - Nitrous isn't refillable without powerups.

Midnight Club 2 - Now with 100% more unoriginal thread title

And with 0% more media.

Midnight Club 3 was better. REAL CARS. [editline]23rd May 2011[/editline] Looks good, but it doesn't support Win 7, so stuff it.

Why are you posting about a game made 8 years ago.

Maybe because on steam, and just because it's old, doesn't mean its automatically not thread worthy.

Hooray, San Diego is noteworthy of something other than debt and a bad baseball team.

it is typical that FP would be the only place to start threads about forgettable games like this i finished this like maybe a decade ago on the pc it is easily one of teh hardest and most unfair games ever due to a horribly cheating AI but it is possible to finish if you are determined and if you drive very unsportsmanlike
