I always noticed that the second last racer in every city was always some kind of dangerous person. Hector was just threatening already, Farid was some kind of wanted criminal, and Kenichi was a Yakuza.
I remember it to this day. Went i first played this game back in 2003 when i was like 12. When i first saw this guy, i swear to god i have NEVER LAUGHED SO HARD in my life since then!!!
I still remember being in love with Farid’s car but all these years later I still get chills from how much personality this game had and omg did they put together a good track list
Midnight Club 2 was straight vibes, man... MC3 was the better game for sure but you can't beat the atmosphere/vibes of Midnight club 2, also I would argue that MC2 soundtrack was better paced for the racing that progressively gets tougher and tougher and the soundtrack pairs well with this as it gets more intense.
I kinda wonder about the music that’s in the video, because it’s copyrighted content but I’m guessing the holder allows you to use the music if the video is monetized
@720942008 Diego - Angel's dad who likes old fashioned street racing. Owen - An investigator trying to hunt down Farid. Ichiro - Shing's business partner who is used as a decoy.
Thumbs up if you want an HD remake, with re-modelled & re-textured cities, HD versions of every car, including all of the brands from GTA IV and onwards, like Karin Saikou, Dewbauchee Victory, 1971 Imponte Bestie, etc, with re-mastered voice-overs, and lots of unlockables, like if you beat the game, complete all the circuits, you can enable cops in Arcade cruise mode.
I'm Algerian and Rockstar did a very VERY great job portraying us like this, i mean i may not be an ugly, lying, stealing bastard myself, but most of the Algerian people out there are like that, i would be surprised if an Algerian is reading my comment and actually understands it, because the classic small minded Algerian guy would probably not agree with what i'm saying.
I could never take this race as serious back then. Both Farid and his Stadt. This race had it's moments, but i remember i aced both races right through within the 2nd or 3rd attempt, most of the times i would be way ahead. It to me was one of the easiest of all races in the game, a relief, like i finally caught a break. Savo, Jesus Christ... But eventually i became good enough to defeat him with the Cocotte with unlimited nitrous, at least, to keep up, and slipstreams to stay up to speed and surpass the rest. The only other code i put was greenlantern09, which was the hardest mode possible. The Stadt was a decent car, but relatively useless after Owens race. This car came late to the party. By the time you aquired this car, you had already finished with almost all of the tight handling races there is left to do. It would of been helpful towards earlier on in Paris against the Fripon X, Alarde, Boost, and Primo's Vortex. (of course you could still race it later in Tokyo against Ricky). But by then there would be more open roads and straight away's than tight twists an turns. And with this car pushing 157-163mph max, versus the Vortex at 177mph, and that car has super tight handling and good acceleration as well, would just make the Stadt pointless since Vortex beats it in every way. Making Stadt irrelevant at that point. And by then you'd already have the Paris champions whip. And that could barely keep up with the games 350Z. Although after getting that car, it feels cheap, faster, but not as finely tuned as the porsche, and i hate those car's. But the 350z's only saving grace is it's top speed at 203mph, vs the porsche's 187mph, but superior handling and acceleration making up for it. Kinda ran off course their...
Yeah it was for the nitrous. But i had that turned off when i first checked back then. But the howhardcanitbe09 is still active till this day. So everytime i play, i'm literally playing on its most difficult mode possible. My gripe is theirs this glitch where at some point in a super long race, the car's after crashing/exploding, or just overtime, the A.I. would just stop. They'd just never move anymore. No spawning. Nothing. It's gotten to the point where even if i force a spawn by battering there car until they explode, and they respawn, they still won't budge. Locked in place. Never moving again. I can't seem to fix this problem, other then just not participating in long custom races anymore. Also, another glitch with the audio. Some tracks just won't play. Sometimes even mixing with glitchy sounds. It's a mess, and would keep repeating. As if the devil himself is trying to communicate through the speakers. It's the strangest thing. So, i'd have to turn down the sound effects, or skip certain audio tracks. I heard the online is still up and running in some underground forum for the PC. But i don't have PC. But yeah, i still play till this day. It's just one of those go-to games.
the catacombs every fucking time i could have full nitrous but nope one little nick from a corner and watch him fly by. Out of all the racers in the game for some strange reason farid was always the hardest for me. Savo pfff easy but this track ya no
4:23 You'll notice that the police are calling backup indicating Farid is a wanted criminal and in the next race you have to lose the cops. So in the next race he gives him his car and Owen the driver of Aston Martin an inspector trying to get farid's car because he's a wanted criminal But then Owen loses and gives the player his aston martin.
Lukim Remember your character is not necessarily a law abiding citizen Your character also wants to keep the car There maybe something in the car that incriminates you as well

I was thinking, nowadays it wouldn't be possible anymore to portray a character with so many stereotypes and then I'm reading all the commentaries from the Algerians confirming the accuracy of this character's representation 😂 I feel the Algerian accent is not on point though. It sounds more like a general cliché Arabic accent.
Farid's renault clio has a low top speed of only 159 mph. His catacomb race can be beaten using the blue Honda civic, the Mazda rx7, the 1971 bestia and the viper.
I know the name. Jump Jet by Alpine Stars. Oddly enough, this song plays during Stephane's cutscenes in the PC version, not sure about the Xbox version.
The best race I have ever done in this game. The Catacombs were fucking epic. I also beat Farid with a Cochote. I thin its the cochote? The very first car you get.
@easypinkslips If only I could also beat Farid with the Citi Turbo. That car has has 163 MPH, while Farid's car, Stadt, has 159 MPH. WTF?! Which car do you think is better, Stadt, or Citi Turbo?
i hated it so much when they would drive around the area they were going to stop at. eg. in LA i think one of the bosses drives right through where he stops...2 minutes later your there again "Prepare to Race".. -_- lol

I beat the rest of the game with a bike seriously it's the fastest ...
I died of laughter when I first saw Farid when I was younger.
DarkStarboye I thought he was a clown when I was young
@@ian._.8033 😂😂😂
And im compared with him to the daltons from lucky luke
he has a funny face, but his theme is epic.
The Enhanced Matrix I agree, Farid has the best trance theme song in Midnight Club 2! "Art of Trance"
He's like a parody of turkish people I think.

God...only if MCLA were like this.
One of my favorite characters
Alpinestars' "Jump Jet" should definitely be in the next-gen version of GTA V on Radio Mirror Park!
Ivan Simpson Jump Jet is my most favorite song in MCII

@BLACK ICEYOU exactly! But I have to admit Stealth is one of my favorite songs.
Such people exist
8:29 "How the he** did you get so far ahead of me?"
Lol at the inspector.
Hey Farid you know what's funny? You're face! *Insert "OOOHHHHHHHHHH" sound effect*
I love the way the cars bounce in this game look Soo natural and satisfying unlike gta5 its too stiff hopefully gta6 will fix that
i truly miss your gameplays, my friend =(
the catacombs every fucking time i could have full nitrous but nope one little nick from a corner and watch him fly by.

Police also calls for backup in other races besides Farid's.
LIKE MUSIC
If Owen did show his face, I would imagine him as Max Payne from Max Payne 2.
Ivan Simpson are you kidding me?
Pedestrians comments are the funniest
Why would the player stop Farid from being busted, I would've handed the cash (I believe that's what's inside) over to Owen

I love a street race meet u follow your opponent to a race spot then race
Well catacombs track is so dangerous i need to memorize the track and the turns it took 3 days to beat farid :'v
Naufal GD you sucked
He did Paris lol
Damn dude XD
hahahaha 😂
This guy reminds me of bert from sesame street
stealth, train psycho and demon of the church are good racing songs
@Toasty278 You can choose who your penultimate person is as well. You could choose Angel as the Penultimate for example or Zen for Japan.
His car probably has the best handling...

One time i beat this guy so bad i waited five minutes and he still didnt finish
Jumping jet used to be my shit
but the real car as Stadt is Renault clio sport V6 tuning & the real car as Victory is Aston martin V12 vanquish 2001
as Algerian this car is really popular in here and people are still using it today in Algeria
@sopowerfull its stealth by art of trance
i forgot ther was a guy in this named diego. thats me! and you totally took that lady out at 3:33 haha
Almost f'd up at the end
If I guessed this right, Owen is supposed to be british, huh?
I guessed so because he did mention "Ugh, for crying out loud old boy." at one point
Yeah that's correct. Inspector Owen is British. You can also notice that in the race he was using a word "mug".
(Edit: it was at 8:09)
I have it for Xbox and yes it does have jump jet alpine stars in the cut scenes of stephane
I know the name. Jump Jet by Alpine Stars. Oddly enough, this song plays during Stephane's cutscenes in the PC version, not sure about the Xbox version.
Same deal. Only PS2 version that plays his actual theme song, which is Extra Dry by Thomas Bangalter.
what car does shing drive
is it the first racer in tokyo
Shing drives a RSMC. Real name Nissan 350Z

Citi Turbo
What's the name of the first song?
Art of trance - stealth
the cops in paris use citroen ZX
wait then who is mauro? when you race gina?
Those racers interrupted Gina and your race that's why you race them
gina actually can't ride a motorcycle in the game. Which is why Mauro appeared as the main character in her 2nd race.
I hate how Diego, Owen, and the guy who drives the Lusso XT don't show their faces.
So far Diego: Angels dad Owen: Friend of Farid or Rival
The guy with the Lusso XT is Ichiro. Shing's "friend"
Owen: Inspector
whats the name of that song on 07:05 ?
Alpinestars - jump jet
Because Lotus is a British car company.
This Character From My Country
Inspector Owen...

it's Farid Bang
