Editorial Review:
The main premise of Midnight Club Street Racing is that you and your pals take to the streets each night to race hot rods around town. Along the way, you'll terrorize those pedestrians who are crazy enough to be outdoors at night, and generally crash into anything that's vertical. It goes without saying that then you'll spend most of your daytime hours pounding out the dents from the previous night's misadventures.
Midnight Club Street Racing plays like a combination of the high-res street shenanigans of the Dreamcast's Tokyo Extreme Racing and the mission-based mayhem of the PS One's Driver. You've got two fantastic urban vistas in which to roam around--New York and London--and a jacked-up little runabout in which to do it. The game isn't just about racing, but about racing from point to point, too, or playing follow the leader.
Graphically appealing (if more than a little flat, but that doesn't detract) and speedy, this game might not tax the PlayStation2 hardware, but it might tax your skills as a gamer if you don't keep up.
Maps to the city are available whenever you need them, and make it rather difficult to get lost. It's advisable to try, however--there are tons of miniroutes to traverse. No route is sacrosanct--you can bash through plate-glass windows, barrel through underground parking structures, meander across parks, and even pogo from roof to roof. In this way, the game has a bit of that good ole Driver feel; although, the further in you play, the night skies and somber tone of the city dispel some of this feel.
Midnight Club Street Racing is a great game, and yet another reason for new PlayStation2 owners to smile. While it's not terribly groundbreaking, it's one game that's loads of fun to play. --Todd Mowatt
Pros: - Solid and fun race mechanics
- Sprawling cityscapes, with multiple routes
- Two-player games add replayability
Cons: - City objects lack definition
- Only two cities in which to race
Furious action is the name of the game as urban street racers known as the Midnight Club gather secretly around the world

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A decent racing game.
After watching my cousins play this game during a gettogether, I decided to buy it for myself. I had only watched them play the "Capture the Flag" game so I was pleased to see that this game also had several other games besides that particular game. Unfortunately, as a whole, this game fell short.
First, I'll talk about the positives. As I said above, the Capture the Flag game is really fun. In this game, you race against other cars (you can choose how many you want to race against) ... Read More
Rating:  - why does everyone hate this?
granted, it was relesed in 2000 but whats wrong with the graphics, sure its no gran turismo 4 but it still rocks. and of course mc II and dub edition are going to be better. BUY THIS GAME, i got it for $20 AU it is worth it
Rating: - It's fun then blah...
this game is very fun in the beginning when you are trying to get better cars and beat faster people... it kept me entertained for a few hours but when i learned the map, the techniques of the computer driver, and the shortcuts, the game became very repetative... it was just blah... i would recommend NFS over this game...
Rating: - good
this was my first ps2 game and for some reason i had a hard time getting rid of it. it was very unrealistic but it was very fun. i finally put it up on amazon for sale. it is a good racing game for younger kids
Rating:  - I think it rox
The game is frickin sweet til this day i think. The cars rock and so do crashing and launching taxies in the air with the mauraduer.I think this game is awsome.But it does get a little boring until you unlike all of the cars.
