#Midnight club 2 (xbox one) drivers
Early on the enemy drivers will tap your bumper trying to get you to fishtail in the middle of a turn or run you down the wrong intersection or off-ramp. The AI in MC2 is extremely aggressive and there is absolutely no shame in resetting the race when you screw up even a little bit, because it usually will be catastrophic. You have to beat everyone to unlock the new cars and advance you career. You'll have a rival in each race, usually the character that brought you to the race, and it's not enough just to beat them in a multi-car race. The races themselves will require you to race through a set of checkpoints in order or to race through them in any order but as quickly as you can. The ride over to the starting grid is how you'll learn some of the game's more obvious shortcuts and jumps that will come in very handy later on, perhaps even in the race you're about to undertake. They'll lead you on a crazy path through the city to get you to a starting area. Before races you'll get cruise time where you can ride around and find the character you want to race against. The single player game is very well designed to get gamers used to the speed and mechanics of the vehicles and to get them familiar with the three cities -Los Angeles, Paris and Tokyo- they'll be racing in. You get wide open cities that can be roamed freely but during a race you'd better stick to the prescribed path if you want to win.

While there are no major differences to justify the two additional months it has taken to bring MC2 to the Xbox, the game is solid with one of the best single player arcade racing experiences to date and an online component that'll add plenty of longevity.Īpparently there's this subculture of people out there that likes to race in the streets illegally and Midnight Club II is designed to capture this essence.

The biggest knock against Midnight Club II is that it is facing direction competition in the online arcade racer category and so it can't simply walk away with the crown on Xbox like it does on the PlayStation 2. Rockstar San Diego (formerly known as Angel Studios) put together Midnight Club II (it's first appearance on Xbox) as genuine high speed arcade racer with online capabilities and the team as accomplished precisely what it set out to do. Most of them are very well done thanks to the Xbox's graphics processing abilities but this has only lead to a glut of beautiful games that still don't do much to differentiate themselves. The Xbox has a hell of a lot of racing games.
