Strengths: Great graphics, online play is a great reason to buy it, lots of big environments, decent voice acting and sound
Weakness: Some driving games look better, more arcade racer than sim
A good looking racing game that is a blast to play, if you like an arcade-styled racer. Not a sim racer, but lots of fun, with power-ups and lots of tricks. Look great, sounds good and the online play is definitely a major plus. One of the main reasons to get this game, with a leaderboard and eight person racing fun.
A must have for the racing fan with XBox Live, who wants some fun with people all over the world on racing goodness.
Even better now that it's a budget title as a Platinum Hits game.

This game is very fun but it needs more cars becase when you beat the game it is no fun.i think if you like vice city and other car game you should rent it only.i think they should have real cars rather then made up names for cars.

Strengths: Great online street racing, online play
Weakness: Annoying character voices in story mode
Midnight Club II is a very good arcade street racing game for the Xbox. The game features races that have you hitting checkpoints throughout the city. Because there is no linear track, it is up to you to find the fastest way to each of these cities. There is a great sense of speed in this game and there are a lot of near miss crashes.
The graphics are decent and the controls are good, but the cars seem like they handle floaty at times. Unlike a lot of the other games in the street racing genre, Midnight Club II doesn't really give you a lot of options to tune and upgrade your car. Additional cars are gained by finding and racing characters in the game. Once you have beaten a character, you can use their car to continue.
While there are games that surpass Midnight Club II now, I still think it is a very good arcade racing game.

There’s a secret society of young men and women that thrive on the rush that is illegal street racing. They meet under the cover of the twilight hour or those precious minutes before the sun rises or, for the most part, when it sets. Street racers live in their own little universe where respect is gained through winning dangerous races at top speed throughout cities such as Los Angeles or even...
This works perfectly with the game's sense of speed, one of the fastest we can think of outside the futuristic hover-racers like Wipeout. Hitting the nitro button delivers one of the most satisfying feelings of pure speed you'll ever get in a racing game because you're still very much in control of your vehicle and can hit ramps and bend corners with ease. Little things like using weight transfer...
When I reviewed Rockstar's Midnight Club II on the PlayStation 2 a few months ago, I had a hard time imagining that the Xbox version of the game would be much better. It turns out that those road-raged troopers at Rockstar San Diego have managed to squeeze out a revision of Midnight Club II that tops the incredible PS2 arcade racing experience. Midnight Club II on the Xbox is a prettier, tighter...
