Description :
On the streets at night, anything can happen. And if you have a car that can race the distance, there's money involved too.
This is the premise behind Midnight Club II, in which you must work your way up the ranks of illegal street racing by challenging and defeating the best over three cities.
Each race occurs in a different area of the city, and all you have to do to get started is flash your lights at the person you wish to drag. Then follow the map for the track route and go hell for leather. Further along, shortcuts will also come into play, giving you an advantage in getting to the finish first.
Each race you win racks up cash, which goes towards new and much faster cars for the more difficult challenges. You'll also get the chance to go two wheels with a selection of highly mobile bikes.
Multiplayer modes include the usual all-on-all race mode, and capture the flag, in which you must race to the opposing flag somewhere in the city and return it to your destination.

Hint: Losing the police:
When side by side with a police car, find a tree or pole ahead that is on the side nearest to the police car. Push the police car into the tree or pole.
When a police car is directly behind you, find a tree or pole ahead. Drive directly toward it and when near, take a sharp turn away from it. The police car will smash into the tree or pole.
Hint: Two-wheel driving:This move is much more effective if you pop up on the wheels early, then hold the position (hold [Weight Transfer]) and steer your car. If you wait until you are about to hit someone, it will not be as easy to see where you should go.
Hint: Burnouts:
With some of the cars, you can charge up the burnout faster by revving up the engine, then pressing [Handbrake]. It depends on the car, but some will work better this way.
Hint: Spin-out competitors:
As you approach another car from behind, try to line up the front half of your car with the back end of the other car. As you touch the back end, turn sharply toward the other car. If done correctly, you can make them swerve into a wall or even do a 180 and be left behind in the dust.
Hint: Motorcycle turns:
If you are making a sharp turn, try to make your wheels hit the wall/building. If you use the handbrake or regular brake, you can turn the bike sideways and let your wheels hit instead of hitting it head-on. This allows you to stay on the bike and keep going. You can also still steer while popping a wheelie. After you pull back, keep holding [Weight Transfer] (but stop pulling back) and use the steering to move while gaining speed. The view is a little difficult, but you can get a lot of speed this way.
Hint: Tokyo: Big jump:
Select cruise mode and follow your way through the glass rectangle about 50 meters in front of you. Drive straight until you get to the road up to the freeway. Go up onto the freeway and stay on the right-hand side. Take the first turnoff on the right. Follow that until it goes back down on the street. You should be next to a large river. Follow that river road until you reach a massive jump. You can use it and land on the other side of the river. Note: It is best to get a run up from down that small street with one of the best cars with some nitro.
Hint: Easy wins in Capture The Flag mode:
Get the item, stop, and allow one of your opponents to get the flag. Then, go all the way to the finish line and stay there. When your opponent is racing down to the finish line, quickly use stop on his or her car. While stuck there, ram into their car, get the flag, and bring it to the finish line. Note: This trick may not work if not executed properly. Also. to avoid your opponent's attacks, get a shield or stealth.
Enable the "Nitrous" and "Guns and rockets" codes. Use a motorcycle of your choice. At the beginning of the race, use the "Burnout" strategy and face a car in front of you. You can either use the machine gun to blow it up or use the rockets to move them out of your way. If they get past you in any part of the race, fire the machine gun and steer and accelerate and fire rockets to knock them off course.
Hint: Last Man Standing, The Final Race:
After you have completed the game and have become the Tokyo champion, another message appears. It reads "The World Champion Of Illegal Street Racing". However, you are not really the champion until you defeta Shave. He has all Velocis and they have five nitros. The best way to defeat him is to enable the "All cars" code. Red and yellow Velocis will attempt to run you off the road.
Hint: Repair damage and restore nitro:
When cruising in in career mode with damage and no nitro, find a racer and flash your lights at him. Do not follow him. Instead, either stay where you are or drive in the opposite direction. Ignore the countdown. Once out of time, your damage and nitro will be as if you just started the level.
