During the 2000s, what made Midnight Club stand out for you?

In a sea full of arcade racers such as Burnout, Need For Speed, Juiced, Ridge Racer etc

What stuck with you for this series?

For me? Nothing and I genuinely mean nothing has managed to surpass MC2 for me. The atmosphere, vibes, music, chaotic tight gameplay is everything I’m looking for in a street racer. And I don’t say this with nostalgia goggles either because I recently replayed it and had way more fun than anything the modern age had to offer. Forza Horizon 6 looks pretty but that’s about it, it was quite boring in comparison for me 🤷🏽‍♂️
