Midnight Club II
PlayStation 2 | Original Xbox | PC
Released: April 9, 2003
Midnight Club II is a Boss-Rush Arcade Racing Game where you complete races across 3 various maps of increasing difficulty.
While often overlooked by it's more successful sequel, Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition, this game still stands strongly on it's own. Midnight Club II may be similar
on a gameplay level with it's large jumps and breakneck speeds, it offers an entirely different experience. It focuses more on
the danger of street racing through it's diverse cast of characters and eerie techno soundtrack. Over the years it has developed a
cult following for it's great handling model, characters, soundtrack, and extremely harsh difficulty. Oh, did I forget to mention? It's hard.
I played this game for the first time in the summer of 2025 with no nostalgia, almost completely blind. This game is truly a masterpiece in what it
tries to achieve. That being a trance like and rewarding experience that keeps you coming back to conquer the challenge over and over, improving your track
knowledge and control. Midnight Club II is a fantastic game that more people need to try, trust me.
