    Where the great Midnight Club series began. It's now available on the PS Store. For a game that was released in 2000, this game looks great. Races can, however, be a pain to beat, and this seem to carry over in each iteration of MC. If you want to see where it all began, or just want to collect all MC games, then buy this. I should warn you though, that customization-wise, it isn't deep asWhere the great Midnight Club series began. It's now available on the PS Store.

    Very challenging racing game, a bit chaotic but Emilio's quotes raise the level of the game!

    In addition to the litany of cars, the huge cities are riddled with secrets and original ways to make shortcuts, which makes single player gameplay and two-player games extremely fun.

    They've definitely provided you with huge maps on which to race and some tough opponents to race against, but the whole city looks drab and plain.
  3. The score gets dragged down just a bit by the short length and some AI problems, but this is still a fun game.
