Game Description

If you just can't drive 55, join the club. In Midnight Club: Street Racing, you start out as a New York cab driver tired of the same old driving every night. You soon become involved in an underground organization dedicated to illegal street racing. Challenge and beat an opponent, and you get the keys to their car. In all, there are 17 different vehicles that can be customized to your liking. Racing locations include the traffic and pedestrian-filled streets of New York and London, which were modeled after the actual cities.

Midnight Club: Street Racing is a racing arcade game, developed by Angel Studios (now Rockstar San Diego) and published by Rockstar Games.

Plot

A mysterious group of urban street racers known as the Midnight Club race for pride, power, and glory in sleekly customized, enhanced sports cars. As a regular New York City cab driver, the player learns about this secret club and decides to join.

The player begins with a relatively unmodified and slow vehicle. Through a series of races, each with different goals, they defeat other racers and win faster and more expensive vehicles. The goal is to defeat the world champion, who is revealed to be a young Japanese woman named Anika whose father manufactures concept cars in Japan. Being the only person to beat her in a race, the player is the only one who sees her identity and become the World Champion of the Midnight Club, along with winning her concept car. Anika returns to Japan afterwards.

Cities

Players race through London and New York cities. At the time of release, the game's cities were considered highly detailed and large. The game pioneered the use of an open world environment design instead of predefined circuit tracks. Both cities are designed for the street racing scenario.

Each city contains landmarks from their respective real life counterparts. Some of London's visible landmarks include Trafalgar Square, the Palace of Westminster and its Big Ben, and the Tower Bridge. New York includes such landmarks as Times Square, the Empire State Building, the World Trade Center, Rockefeller Center, United Nations Plaza, Plaza Hotel, Madison Square Garden, Washington Square Park, the Wall Street Bull, Battery Park and Central Park.

Multiplayer

Multiplayer modes, such as Capture the Flag, are available for play using PlayStation 2's additional controllers.
