Midnight Club II

It may not boast garages bloated with the usual name-brand chick magnets you find in other racing games, but the dark racing underbelly of Midnight Club II has every bit as many thrills as the leading grease monkey autopia. The cars are fast and customizable, yet they aren’t the stars of the game. Freedom is king here, and you’ll know what we mean the first time you tear through a fast-food drive-thru or scare shoppers to death in a Los Angeles, Tokyo, or London mall. And when that buzz wears off, you can get your swerve online. After all, the only thing better than driving like an insane jackass is doing it before a captive audience.
