Title: Midnight Club II... Release pushed back???
Post by: w1ngman on March 23, 2003, 02:56:24 AM: I have really been looking forward to the release of this title. With the Official US Playstation mag having indicated in this very month that its release date was set for March 18th in the states, and with them having written up boo-coos of articles in the same month\'s mag, its depressing to go to my local retailers and find that they indicate its not due out now until mid-April sometime :(.

I\'d love to hear someone tell me they\'re wrong (at the retailers) and that it has come out already. \'Course, I also know that games are prone to be delayed...just sux that OPM got me all worked up for this phat ride :rolleyes:

Thanks in advance if you know anything on Midnight Club II.

Agreed, *IF* its like the first. But the U.S. Playstation magazine seems to be giving it an extremely high endorsement. Lots written up and well-reviewed with a 5-star rating (when, IMO, the mag seems willing to punish poor titles in their reviews).

My hope? I hope to see Midnight Club II as another arcade racer similar to Burnout 2. If its *that* good...well, that\'s all that will matter to me :D.

Thanks for the heads up on the release date folks! :cool:

Post by: Lord Nicon on March 26, 2003, 02:29:05 PM: Meh. I liked the first one when it first came out. But i love racing games, so there is little bias. Anyway, i think the game looks pretty fun but im not sure yet if its worth a buy, ( for me at least :p ) To Each His Own

Im interested in how the second one will play.

True dat. I haven\'t played PS2 in quite a while. I need a new game.

Post by: Viper_Fujax on April 10, 2003, 06:43:11 PM: has anyone bought this game/ rented it yet. Im going to try to rent it next week when I go on vacation but i doubt it because the Hollywood Video and Blockbuster near my house both suck monkey d*ck. The thing that turned me off with the screenshots was that you only have a certain amount of time to pass a checkpoint and about 90% of those kind of games i am crappy at(to the point of it not being fun). Any reviews. ones iv seen were good.

Post by: Deadly Hamster on April 13, 2003, 01:05:38 PM: Yes, its online, with many different race types or so i hear. Also, it has a track editor, and you can use custom tracks online which is always a bonus.

Post by: Lord Nicon on April 13, 2003, 05:17:20 PM: Well IGN isnt always the best source of truth but they gave MC2 a 9.1, and thats F-ing crazy. I didnt know they would be so kind. Why? well why dont you read the review, but now im thinking about just buying this. maybe used, if somebody returns it.

Post by: Bobs_Hardware on April 13, 2003, 05:37:19 PM: GameSpot only gave it a 7.3

Though, a 7.3 from GS means they liked it. :)

Post by: SwifDi on April 14, 2003, 11:15:43 PM: This game owns Burnout 2. I have it for rent, played it from about 8 p.m. till midnight, nonstop. I kinda got stuck in career mode on a certain race, so I just did arcade mode, where I could just drive around L.A.

That was fun. Lets just say I was knocking cars, buses, and trucks off of the bridge. Wheeeeeeeeeeee!

I won\'t buy it, but it will be a fun weekend!
