Midnight Club / 2000 / PS2 / PlayStation 2 Launch Title / Free Roam

The first PS2 game I bought - though I bought this and SSX when I got my first PS2 all at the same time. This is the game that started my love affair with the series - open world racing in what was - at the time - a huge environment where I could go anywhere I like, and there were other drivers and pedestrians and it was the best thing I'd ever seen. I love this game and I will always love it and always enjoy playing it.
