I can't believe this was released 17-18 years ago. It was one of the first free roam racing games. I had bought it during release date. Looking at it now it aged really bad lol
For a very early ps2 (relased October 2000 if I'm correct) game it plays as it should. A fun arcade racing game with free roam and a minimalist story mode. Ahh the good old days of pre 911 before US society became so paranoid. I was only 6 years old when I played this the nostalgia hits really hard. I had this game 6 years ago but unfortunately it got stolen along with my ps2 and games when i accidentally left my book back in my mom's truck after coming back from a cousins house.
@@petey8155 indeed, no wonder as a child I always felt something was similar with the 2 franchises. Even the name is similar as both have "Mid" in the name.
Just turned 26... Fuck I'm starting to feel the whole "getting old" shit. My little nephew watched some of this and said it looked stupid. Little does he know this game is actually super fun, probably more fun than most modern racing games.
it's actully by the same developers which is angel studios or as we like to call them today rockstar north. to bad for me i never had the chance to play midnight club because i only had a pc back then.
Its basically Midtown Madness 4 (Developed by Rockstar San Diego who used to be called Angel Studios) likewise...4x4 Evolution was basically Monster Truck Madness 3 (Developed by Terminal Reality) and MX Unleashed was basically Motocross Madness 3 (Developed by Rainbow Studios)
It’s amazing how far this series came from its humble-and I mean really humble-beginnings. The difference between 1 and 2 is so astounding, it may as well be two different franchises. And if it wasn’t for the sales this game got, we may not have had the iconic moments we got from the later tittles. This game was still good for its time, although the physics and unstable AI were a bit underwhelming, but still fun and worth coming back to.
So I got this for Christmas of 2001 with my brand new PS2. All I would do is drive around in the cab in NYC. It was a few years later until I discovered you could drive in London. But man it was fun. I got Midnight Club and a game called Theme Park Rollercoaster made by EA and it was wonderful. A great time to be alive. I’d take a kick in the nuts to go back.
Cheers for sharing this. And this looks SO damn cheesy compared with MC2 and MC3 DUB Edition, but it's also cool AF because it shows a wonderful progression. How much better MC2 and 3 are. Rockstar did a wonderful job with these games aye. Can't wait to see if they make a new one, especially if it's a lot like the second or third game with its gloomy, darker and more intense feel 😊
I didn't really understood the term "midnight club" as a kid and was mad, why there was no "day" option in the free roam instead of "night", "dusk" and "dawn" :D

I dont understand the "downfall". All games are fun and evolved very good. Compare MC1 to MC2 to MC3 to L.A....allways big improvements and no negative things....
I recently bought a small bundle and this game was in it,I grew up playing midnight club 3,I'm happy I grew up with that one and not this one the drifting/sliding is pretty awkward feeling lol
how tf is this more like fast and the furious game then the actual official fast and furious games WTF? i still gotta buy this game. i love the way that rockstar even put in that the racers talk back to u just like in 2 fast 2 furious.
yooo. what are your pcsx2 settings? everytime i load this rom up it freezes up at the loading screen when I select any type of race. it's so frustrating. Please help!
oh wow nice i didnt even see the specs. hence a show more button lol. and yes! i just downloaded 1.5 today. working like a charm. thanks for replying back though!
Almost 19 years old. And I remember free roaming in the Big Apple and London for hours on end made me nostalgic watching this video, last time i played this was probably about a decade ago,
@@PS2GAMER100 Forza Horizon 5 is really good it’s a perfect mix of arcade and simulation. It’s not a hardcore simulation like Assetto Corsa but it’s also not an arcade game like need for speed, it’s just a perfect mix, but definitely more on the realistic side than arcade. There’s hundreds of cars with insane amounts of modifications performance wise and exterior wise. Real life widebody kits from rocket bunny and all kinds of fun stuff. These days I mainly only build drift cars and use my wheel and shifter setup to practice drifting but the street racing in the game is super fun too, the map is also massive. If you have an Xbox or PC definitely try it
How much nostalgia looking at this !! We’re all old now guys 😭😭😭😭

Did we forget about Midtown Madness?! Made by the same devs (Angel Studios) on the same game engine!
And NFS Underground
@@n3onf0x nfs underground is not a free roam game, you mean underground 2 i think. Besides, these two games aren't even older than midnight club 2 lol

YT User Just the memories are left. Can’t believe this came out nearly two decades ago. Al least we have the good memories.
I swear all of this was Ultra 4K as a child 😂
YES LMAOOO
Bro yes
Wow. I played this as a kid when the ps2 was the best gaming system in the world. Man I feel old now. The games I play now are completely different.
The instant notalgia when I hit the play button holy shit lol
That's the spiritual successor to Midtown Madness series, developed by the same Angel Studios. I really miss those days.
It's pretty crazy how much this game even feels like midtown madness, it's the first thing I noticed after revisiting it

OMG YES! You should definitely consider finishing this.
This game is still AWESOME!!
12:30 even in those days Rockstar pays attention to detail. the player was in the tunnel and the sound became echoey
Fun fact: the game uses modified Angel's Midtown Madness 2 engine. Hence one of popular mods for Midtown Madness 2, is New York from MCSR.
yep by Angel Studios aka Rockstar San Diego
what a progress in 3 episodes... from this to dub edition
Played it last night on my ps2.

This racing game is better than nowadays racing games :D
Thegaming Terminator544 Bullshit. Take off your nostalgia shades and watch this video again. This game is shit compared to modern racing games.
The Undead Assassin
today's games are really not good in racing it's not in that midnight club feel.
I agree with you I miss this game
@@-SoonerorLater Exactly this game Sucks
No stop!!!!!!!!!!
Still break out my ps3 at times to play this and other classics I downloaded. Good old days

I Also Have It On PS3 😊
Emilio never knew when to shut up!😂

@@420subswithnosubs this is a shitty ps2 game.
Still have this and all the cars unlocked. Favorite car? Almost all of them.
I love this game
Still more car customization than Cyberpunk 2077
The nostalgia…
It runs so smooth for you, most games i play on this emulator run pretty choppy on my laptop, even tho msi afterburner says im running at 60 fps
I love in the races they called the other racers "homeboys"...as if they didn't have any other names to give them lmfaoooo

Emilio, you're all talk! No walk! I mean come on! You lost to a TAXI for crying out loud! 🤣
The hardest part in this game was to get the English police cars. That race was fucking annoying.
Yes, that race is so fucking difficult, but the police car is beautiful and so fast!

I would always go on the air carrier and hide or use the super jump across the lake/river lmao
Handling was the best
Damn What was R* thinking lol. Clearly Emilio is Puerto Rican/Dominican yet in the txt he says esse and vato lol
Classic ps2
So In a way the GB and ps2 has the same story kinda just the ps2 was more enhanced
It is very difficult to drive a car with an arrow pointing the way, the car crashes, the race is lost. This is a major drawback of this game
