    Absolutely amazing, the car customization options are ridiculus and you'll be playing for months on end. A treat and alot better than (cough nfsu 2) many other games of its kind.

    Better Graphics, Better Music. Definitely 100% better than Need For Speed 2. You have more car selection, and you actually personalize it to your standards and not the games. If you thought Need For Speed was an addictive game. . . You've seen nothing yet! This is awesome!

    Brilliant game, endless customisation and open-ended career. I love it because atleat it doesn't pretend to be a simulator like NFSU & NFSMW. I don't understand how they can call them that.

    NFSU 2 is a old broke down 70's Volkswagon compared to this dubbed out (24's) Escalade of a game.

    An absolute hoot of a game. Forget the NFS:U series - this is PS2 gaming at its best. 3 Huge cities, masses of cars and even more customisation options. If you love arcade racing - then this is the pinacle.

    This game is amazing. It has a very long career mode, licensed cars, a very good soundtrack(and I really don't even like rap) and it is just as fun as the other Midnight Club games to play. Pikc this up and not NFSU 2!

Point Blank, regardless of what system, if u don't have this game, you will never know how intense, engrossing, all-out spectacularly addictive games can get. The racing is fun and challenging, and the customization/tuning puts every other wanabe street racer to shame. The music is probably the best you'll ever hear in a videogame, and overall, it faster than any other game out there, to THIS day. This was my favorite game of 2005, and if you haven't taken on this rollercoaster yet, you're missing out on one of the funnest rides at the fair! Expand

    By far the best racing game I've ever played. But the true treat of this is the customization.

    I don't always enjoy racing games that much. They're mostly the same thing over and over again. Sometimes there's a challenge, sometimes there isn't. But this game is fun as hell. Even the story is fun. Racing games shoudl be like this.

    What an incredibly fun game this still is. I have completed 100% of mc3de. I have remix as well,. This game was the best street racing game money could buy back in the day. Even better than nfs underground. The cars look amazing. The graphics were top notch for ps2 hardware. The soundtrack was catchy and fit perfectly with the atmosphere of the street racing seen.

    Absolutely love this game. It gets so deep under your skin. My brother and i rwcently rediscovered it after years and we practically bought an original xbox just to play it agan. The cars are gorgeous, the races fast and fun. Nothing gives you a sense of speed and consequence quite like this. His was so far ahead of its time, and one of the most enjoyable racers you're likely to play

    This game made my chilhood. Плохо знаю Английский, так что больше первого предложения написать не смогу. Вообщем, мне очень жаль что Рокстаровцы не смогли сделать достойное продолжение этой игре... Игра очень хороша, для 2005 года думаю графика терпимая, к тому же в ней гораздо больше запчастей для тюнинга, нежели в той же НФС.This game made my chilhood.

    Na minha leiga opinião é o melhor jogo de corrida de todos os tempos. Tudo bem que eu não joguei muitos jogos de corrida, mas ainda assim ouso dizer isso. Enfim, a Rockstar sendo a Rockstar.

    Really Amazing game! It made my childhood. The graphics are good for its time, the songs are VERY good, one of the best soundtracks ever, and have many cars in this game. Anyway, very good game.

    Best racing game on Playstation 2. So many options to upgrade and trick out your rides. The career is very challenging but it is rewarding.. The game looks good even now. The color shift and pearlescent paint jobs look awesome. An instant classic better than Need for speed.

    The incredible speed and freeform routes are the major high points. The tuning options are excellent, too. [July 05]

    An insanely fast, chaotic, and progressive racing game that betters the second with more accessible racing, without losing its competitive edge.
  3. DUB redlines on the gorgeous meter. Everything blurs and tunnels to help convey a giddy feeling of speed—and then you hit the nitrous.
