first off i have never played Midnight Club 1 so can't compare the sequel to it
now thats out of the way
been playing this since Saturday and its not too shabby a racer - main mode of the game is called Career mode where you 'cruise' around a city looking for rivals to race. find one (signified by a big red arrow above their car) and you flash your headlights to challenge them - they will then set off on a mad rally through the streets with you having to follow them. finally they will stop and the racing begins (preceded by some amusing cutscenes)
game is set in 3 cities - LA, Paris and Tokyo - and they have a very GTA-esque feel to them - same gritty graphical style and lots of pedestrians and traffic about. lovely touch is when you knock down a lamp-post (you can knock them over unlike wreckless) - its crashes down the street with sparks flying from the bulb section
you start with one car - and earn more by beating your rivals. cars are modelled on real-life cars, but artistic license has been used a lot.
handling is very arcadey - took around 1 minute to get used to the first car and the other cars i have unlocked handle very similar.
nice sense of speed to the game - and when you finally get a nitro and use it - dammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmnnn, the game gets quicker than burnout 2. lovely effect when you use the nitro, the view changes to a tunnel like view (weird to describe but damn good to see)
I can't play this game online yet (no network adapter) but i am looking to get one to experience this -- or i might just wait for xbox live when its released on the big X
