    From its flawless control and presentation, to its huge amount of variety and online modes, MCII is one of the most fun and complete racing games we've ever played. [June 2003, p.24]

    Polished online interface + incredible sense of speed (i.e. bikes out of hell!) + perfect arcade handling (wheelies anyone?) + plethora of modes to tinker with + no "GT3: A-Spec"-type customization or realistic physics = the best PS2 arcade racing ever made.

    It strays from greatness thanks to completely frustrating AI that ends up cheating so badly, it’s not even worth playing.

    It performs well, but there are definitely more-interesting PlayStation 2 driving games on the market.

    This is the best street racing game to date. It's all about racing. If you want customization, then check out NFSU. However, if you want a challenging arcade street racing game, then you have to check this game out.… Expand

    Best racing game I've played in forever. The only bad thing I think is you cant update your vehicles. The challenge is great!

    Elasticband ai ruins the single player experience, and there isn't more than 2 player offline multiplayer. So unless you're online (and i don't think this game is even supported online anymore on the ps2), avoid it. If it had 4 player split screen, and no catchup ai, it would be a LOT more rewarding.… Expand
