Midnight Club II is the sequel to Midnight Club, published for the PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC. Players race through cities inspired by Los Angeles, Paris, and Tokyo, respectively. Midnight Club II features an online component.
Dry, hilly suburbs and congested interstates can be found throughout Los Angeles, and just like the previous Midnight Club game, the city is littered with landmarks, as well as many shortcuts and jumps to be used in the races. The same goes for Paris, home to cobblestone alleyways, monumental roundabouts, and the Paris Catacombs. Tokyo is personafied as a city of neon-glittering avenues and tight alleyways, and in return contains tourist sights. A complimenting logo from the Midnight Club series, each city is injected full of their gracious landmarks. For the second installment, realistic detail was added to ensure lifelike models of the real things.
The vehicles in this game all resemble real world vehicles, such as the Jersey XS, which resembles a Dodge Viper, the Victory, which resembles an Aston Martin Vanquish, and the Veloci, which resembles a Saleen S7. The actual Saleen S7 was used in Midnight Club 3 as a real car.
This installment of the series was heavily criticised for using many derogatory stereotypes for the racers in the game that were almost to the point of being borderline racist. Another problem surrounding the game was that there were many cheat codes that were also useable in online gameplay, hindering the balance and fairness of gameplay. The game also did not offer customization since the cars are already modified. The last problem, was the ability to quickly change your online user name, thus being able to join in a race and ruin it for everyone, and not being able to ban the user for his or her activities.
[edit] Storyline
The player meets Moses, the most weak street racer from the club and wants to see what the player can do. The player follows him to a place. From that place they will race. After the player wins the first race, it's been started a new race with cops. If the player wins Moses will give his car and he will teach the player about Nitro. The Player needs to win every rival race to have the ocasion to race with the city boss. There are 3 Cities (Los Angeles, Paris and Tokyo). In Los Angeles Dice is the king. When the player reaches the boss of Tokyo it will be very hard to beat him (the boss has a powerful sport car known as the "Veloci" (resembling the Saleen S7)). If The player wins the boss will gves his car and another air prototype powerful car and he/she will be the boss of the three cities.
