imo Makoto was the ultimate reference to the original Mid Night Club racing gang: A bunch of wealthy businessmen who spent a fortune in their rides and took them to the streets.
i mean, since he's the champ, might as well double down on the reference to Mid Night Club with him driving a porsche look a like, specifically 911 models from the 80s to 90s
@@SCORPIONonlineRU well yes that is quite obvious. what i meant is, since he's a reference to the Mid Night Club Special gang and the Tokyo Champ, he should've driven a heavily modified 80s Porsche 911 since that was all the rage in the 90s japanese street racing scene
man, you really had to know the maps and shortcuts of this game inside out if you wanted to make it to the end especially towards the end of the game, best child hood memories this game brings! :)

I like how there’s a little reference here BUT HEAR ME OUT in here you can see Makoto wearing a smartsuit and drives a well tuned car (I mean if you think about it that thing GRIPS on the road) and irl back in the 90s there was a real life street racing crew in Japan that raced on the wangan highway which was known to be as mid night club and they had some impressive ethics and rules and they were also buisness men kinda like makoto here BUT the midnight club also had a rule to not cause physical harm to other road users too (which is respectable) until 1999 they did a huge accident which led to two motorcyclist being killed and 6 other people injured which caused the midnight club crew to disband for good. Tbh I don’t promote street racing but it’s safe to say they definitely did it in safe measures and style
I know that it can be frustrating, but this epic feeling if u finally beat something unfair is legendary. If MC2 HD ever comes out, i want a Diff Selection. Classic and Veteran/Hard. On the Hard Diff= more Traffic would appear and your Enemies drive a lot better.
I like the ramps in Paris and Tokyo in this game because the more power, torque, and acceleration you hit at top speed the higher your jump gets. Thats what made this game so fun to play plus the soundtracks.
this is still the best acid song I've ever heard in a video game the cd's these came out are fucking great too this game was kind of my outlet to techno
This game have more fun factor than forza horizon ever have. fast ass AI that it makes newest racing games AI look lame and too boring AI now is too safety driving. this game AI is crazy kinda stupid but it's what make the midnight club series fun and exciting. Me and my cousin still playing midnight club 1.
I almost agree with you. I find MC3: DUB Edition Remix to be more fun, but even over the years I've played it, it can't beat the memories I've had with Midnight Club 2. It's a very close call though.
Need for speed Heat and other racing games of 2020 will never compare to this masterpiece Idgaf what other people say ik I'm right this had more potential then the ones of today💯🙄
"Im the Champion... Im the Champion ..." YOU are NOTHING Makoto :) you are nothing but you have a sick music "Brain 29 Demons In The Church" By the way nice racers and nice shortcut at 04:25 ;)
@TEAMSLAIN actually, the Saikou XS is the Supra AB-Flug Edition, which can be found on Forza 2... but yeah, it is pretty much a Supra with Veilside widebody kits
Man even today, I still think rockstar did Makoto dirty. Bro only had 1 real race and it wasn't even on the same level of difficulty kenichis last race was.
Wicked time that is. Pretty much flawless on the time trial fair play. It's funky how the No.1 racer of Tokyo is wearing a suit and tie. Makoto Yakuza maybe?...
yes as i said maybe its just me, lets just say that MC was the best car game franchise in playstation :) yea like i played MC3 aswell, but as i say MC2 just has those kind of memories i will never forget :)
Pex_gDp-Hs 033 too bad rockstar dedicated their company to gta and all the creative developers from angel studios that helped make this game quit. Although I would love to see a remastered version I doubt it’ll ever happen😭.The music the characters the quirky lines it was so ahead of its time! mannn how I miss those days
maybe this is just me but i think this is the best care game on the PlayStation, i dont know it just feels like such a great game, and now looking back i still love it, too bad i dont have it anymore :/
My only problem with the Lusso XT is how fragile the car is. Acceleration ain't great, but a good use of the handbrake is usually what keeps me in control. I don't enjoy having an exploding car in the middle of a race, but then again I'm sometimes a traffic magnet lol. Most of the time I win using the Saikou XS, the handling and muscle is perfect for me, except in the rain, ironically.
I remember that I restarted this race what felt like hundreds of times. It's a lot more difficult on PC using the keyboard (the game doesn't like my 360 controller). After so many tries, I was finally in the lead in the final tunnel. I hit the last jump...and flew past the finish checkpoint with no hope of going back and still winning. At this point I ragequit and never played the game again.
This game had too many good lines for characters my favorite "keep flashing those beams, keep racing."those are some mad skills, I give him that."I don't care what you have to say, drive."
It took me about a week or so, the race fustrated me so much I was on and off about it. But funny thing now, my favorite race in Paris is Savo's. The second race.
Nice! Yeeaahh, I WANTED to attempt in the Lusso XT, but I backed out because of it's acceleration being rather poor, and not having many straights in Makoto's race, I did better with the Lusso XT in Savo's Tokyo Race's.
You're pretty good in that case, my first time took me alot longer since I used the Torque JX, I didn't switch to the Saikou XS until I got to Savo's first Race in Paris.
I used the Knight to beat Makoto and Savo, well I used the Saikou XS first then I went back and used the night when Career started over. The slowest car I can use to beat Makoto is the Fripon X, but the Handling made it very hard to do so, and took many retries.
its actually has good handling and i love using the knight more then the saikou xs because it doesn't make you spend out too much tou the saikou xs does make you spend out so knight= winner saikou xs = suck if cause you to spin out too much
Well, I did, and it's quite difficult. I also tried beating Makoto in a Lusso XT, Ichiro's car, and it'a also hard due to Lusso XT's handling is slippery in the rain.
Yeah, it's Accel. is pretty beasty, the only thing buggy about it when using it against Savo is the Nitrous, but Savo really isn't that hard once you have the race memorized.

Makoto: I am the champion!
Savo: Who cares, I always win anyways.
A good conversation
No-one ever cared about makoto
Everyone was more interested in beating him and facing savo

His car was pretty unremarkable, nothing too great and bit too slow at cornering, it’s no wonder people didn’t remember him.
@@uccidere1939 makoto's r32 is fragile to crashes
Bad r34 build makoto's car
Makoto never had the charisma and humor of Savo
So badass soundtracks in this game!
samething
The best way to improve taste in music to lvl100
GTA need to step up their music game
Gta better
GTA SHOULD REALLY ADD SOME HARD ACID TRANCE HITS
Big facts!!!!

"I WILL DESTROY THIS THING! I don't care about anything you have to say... DRIVE!"
Sad that Makoto don't have a real second Race with more Rain,traffic and Demonic Drivers.
Imperial Yama no more traffic
Street racing and heavy traffic do NOT mix well
I think it do. MC2 will Just become like a Bullet Hell Game. Traffic will be like standing in the Rain without getting wet. Totaly Fun for me :D
Imperial Yama well it's a KILLJOY for me when I run into a car when I turn a corner that I NEVER SAW COMING
I know that it can be frustrating, but this epic feeling if u finally beat something unfair is legendary. If MC2 HD ever comes out, i want a Diff Selection. Classic and Veteran/Hard. On the Hard Diff= more Traffic would appear and your Enemies drive a lot better.
Imperial Yama well yea that's the upside to the frustrating indignant difficulty
The satisfaction (especially against Savo) is BEYOND COMPREHENSION
03:50that hardcore beat😍😍
I swear the fucking sound effects of the Slip stream boost is such an adrenaline boost to me
Vanessa Leveneaux you got face book
Vanessa Leveneaux why wouldn't it be?
Vanessa Julíne that's just an extra nitrous
The chaotic essence and the hard-core electronic soundtrack for the Tokyo part of the game mix so well.

the classic battle, Lancer vs Skyline (Knight vs Torque XS)
I remember beating Makoto as a kid and just jumping up and down because I thought I beat the whole game.
Oh was I wrong
Ah yes the memories and trauma shortly after 😭😭
Never knew the Knight was such a good car - I always used the Saikou XS to beat him, and it was hell hard (but I was young back then, knew little.)
this is still the best acid song I've ever heard in a video game the cd's these came out are fucking great too this game was kind of my outlet to techno
This feels like when you face Ray Krieger in NFS: Pro Street.

This is what I’ve been saying! Recent titles just aren’t as fun n’ crazy as this. This is true open world racing. It’s also very fast-paced too.

I'm not interested in anything you have to say. Drive!
One defeat too much shame, come on again
It shame is the almost unbearable.
Take the car. You think you're real clever i imagine.
Dat Skyline tho...
In the beta the Torque JX had 2 taillights
I've also tried using a Braynston V to beat Makoto. It's fast, handles great, even on rain, but it's very slow on dirt.
Me too man! Never gets old no matter how much I play it, no matter how many times I beat it!
Makoto's hairline got called for backcourt violation
And MC2 is now available on PSN, as well as MC 1! The Midnight Club legacy may live on!

The torque is fast but the angle of steering is really skilled racer level
when makoto says "I will destroy this thing" Does he mean your car?
He means you.
@@havelthedeadinside1799 Y O U
You, your car and your rep.
Makoto and his men are so wealthy they just street race for fun
Their cars are absolute beasts and probably my favorite one to drive.
Makoto looks like he could be their boss

+CrasherX2000 “The Falcons Apprentice” I beat that already as a kid
Jacob Richardson right
CrasherX2000 so what is you talkin about
this soundtrack gives me anxiety
The Knight was my favorite car in this game.
@IVEMER actually..TorqueJX is a nissan skyline r34 with a veilside body kit.while the Saikou XS..is a toyota supra with a veilside widebody kit.
Grumpy Bunny AbFlug BodyKit for the Supra.
Man even today, I still think rockstar did Makoto dirty. Bro only had 1 real race and it wasn't even on the same level of difficulty kenichis last race was.
Makoto deserve 2 more races technically. Before we meet the world ld champion, Savo

This game came out before fast and furious 1 it was beautiful
All that rage 😂
Jesus fast and furious 1 was out in 2001 this game was released in 2003
This game came out in 03.fun times i miss playing this.hopefully Rockstar Games “Remasters” Midnight Club 2.

Makoto's car
Torque JX is the real car was Nissan Skyline R34 '99
1:38 No! しまった！
Makoto looks like a Salvatore Leone
Still have fond memories of the Torque JX.
It is, and the best choice for Savo's first race in L.A., it being in the rain as well.
Soundtracks were always better in the games back then. Wont happen again unfortunately
maybe this is just me but i think this is the best care game on the PlayStation, i dont know it just feels like such a great game, and now looking back i still love it, too bad i dont have it anymore :/

In first race you must to finish the time trial before race Makoto.
I've Beaten Makoto in the Saikou XS (Default ofcourse) The Knight, RMSC 15, and the Fripon X, I never attempted with the Vortex 5. Have you?
I usually like the Nissan Skyline.
I never used that shortcut near the end of the time trial race :o. That's pretty cool.
but the real car as Torque JX is Nissan skyline GTR R34
NICE VERRY GOOG YOU THE BEST MIDNIGHT CLUB 2 GAMER FOR EVER WOW
oh guys and did you know that the song of makotos is almost the same song of savos but a remix?
Suddenly, Savo
I remember I let my friend back in 2005 use this game on his PC. But his in game map was a big square??
It took me about a week or so, the race fustrated me so much I was on and off about it. But funny thing now, my favorite race in Paris is Savo's. The second race.
Ofcourse it can, I didn't mean to count the Saikou XS out in the rain, if you can handle it in the rain then yeah, it'll give you a victory aswell.
This song always made me think of zippers.
respect this guy for using nikko's car
are ya serious?? man i have to get it FAST :D :D
off to the shops this weekend ;D
Nice! Yeeaahh, I WANTED to attempt in the Lusso XT, but I backed out because of it's acceleration being rather poor, and not having many straights in Makoto's race, I did better with the Lusso XT in Savo's Tokyo Race's.
@DatBoiKeeno Atleasy I know I'm not crazy. Lol
Am I the only one who thinks one of Makoto's lines makes him sound like Tommy Wiseau?
"You must be a bigshot, HA." Or something like that.
This race is too easy you just need to learn motorcycle skills and than ALL THE BIG RACERS even THE SAVO are piece of cake ;)
This race was freaking long, I fuck up when it's raining
he has good song

Oh? Cool, I'm up for that.
@zacefros1 It's not a remix but it's from the same DJ.

i wish i could play this game on android handfon.. miss playing this game.. aish
5:45 i think thats the first time he crashed during this whole walkthrough
its actually has good handling and i love using the knight more then the saikou xs because it doesn't make you spend out too much tou the saikou xs does make you spend out so knight= winner
saikou xs = suck if cause you to spin out too much
Who thinks that knight is number 1
Ah, bummer, but good luck with that!
What is the music from 3.50 onwards called? It has me on the edge of my seat even though I am not playing!
