Gaming Age
The best racing game I’ve played in months, and anyone looking to release a title in this genre now should look long and hard at what Rockstar’s been able to pull off here.
Read Full Review >Game Chronicles
If you already have a killer PC rig and that is your preferred gaming platform then it doesn't get any better than this, but considering the steep system requirements and the fact that you still need to play this game with a console-style gamepad, why not just enjoy this title on the Xbox or PS2 the way it was designed.

There isn't a better racing game to be had on the PC. If you're the fast and furious type, then curb your need for speed with Midnight Club II!
Read Full Review >PC Gamer
A well-designed and entertaining street racer - "Midtown Madness" on steroids. [Oct 2003, p.102]
IGN
With loads of courses and plenty of smart opponents and lots of fast cars, you simply couldn't ask for more -- unless you're a shameless ingrate.
Read Full Review >AtomicGamer
The high difficulty is a bit of a problem, the interface is a bit too console-like, and the multiplayer internet games could be set up a bit better, but it's still a fine game.
Read Full Review >Gamers' Temple
Graphically the game looks good, but thanks to its console roots does not match the best looking games available.
Read Full Review >GameZone
It is quite difficult though, so if you like your racing easy, you'd best look elsewhere - or better yet, find a cheat code.
Read Full Review >ActionTrip
The right choice for anyone who's out for an action-packed arcade racer with smooth gameplay and miscellaneous tasks and challenges to complete on the road. The accent in this game is on addictive, high-paced arcade-style driving.
Read Full Review >Cheat Code Central
The depth comes in the form of controlling the vehicles, navigating the city streets and discovering shortcuts.
Armchair Empire
Combined with the incredible sense of speed offered by the game, Midnight Club 2 will leave you craving more, and you will likely be up until the early hours of the morning trying to beat those pesky French sisters in Paris.
Read Full Review >GameSpot
Midnight Club II's rubber-band AI, annoying voice work, and poorly designed front end all hold the game back.
Read Full Review >Computer Gaming World
Rockstar Games has taken what it learned from the "Grand Theft Auto" series and used it to deliver a solid driving experience. [Oct 2003, p.122]
Computer Games Magazine
It's just not particularly inspired. It's also amazing how much licensed cars are missed. [Oct 2003, p.85]

Jason M gave it a10:
The greatest racing game ever. IE, the most FUN. The cars have varying handling physics, the opponents talk trash to keep things interesting, the courses are all wildly different, and the drift physics are the best in any driving game I've played. This is not a simulator, which is fine with me, it is a fun fun racing game.
Zzz ZX gave it a10:
The best racer I own, and I own quite a few. Better than NFS underground by far. Excellent graphics and gameplay. Latter levels are a bit tough though - which can be frustrating.
IzZo gave it an 8:
Aint da best car game but isnt da worst either! gotta say rockstar sure know how 2 make games, interestin characters to race with, interestin vehicles too, thot it would b a simple styled racer but its much more than that, neat stunts u can pull off as u progrees thru da game! Nitros = da bomb Overall its one of street racing's finest :D
André S. gave it a 10:

Anthony gave it a 10:
This game is only for people that like souped up cars in real life like me, Got it??
Takumi gave it a 5:
This is game is all right. Without the steering wheel, the game is jsut to boring. I'v played many racing games and this is not the best of them. If u want a good racing game and Initial D is the game for you.
Neil gave it a 9:
Great game. Using keyboard i wasnt too keen on at first, as you jolt from left to right, but now I've had practice, i can move left and right without jolting so far.
