Rockstar Gives Away Midnight Club 2 on Steam
For the next few days, anyone joining the Rockstar Games Steam Community gets Midnight Club 2 free.
Midnight Club is one of Rockstar's lesser lights, forgotten by most amidst the sound and fury of Grand Theft Audio, Red Dead Redemption and all the other big [and even not-so-big] franchises that leap to mind when the such things come up in conversation. But as arcade racers go the games are actually quite good, and even though Midnight Club 2 [http://www.amazon.com/Midnight-Club-2-Pc/dp/B00008JOLT/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1336751537&sr=8-3] is pushing ten years old it's still a lot of fun.
And for the next few days it's also free, with a catch, of course: you'll have to join the Rockstar Steam Community [http://steamcommunity.com/games/rockstargames] to get it. Get your name on the roster by 10 am PST on May 15 and at some point over the next couple of weeks you'll find a non-giftable copy of Midnight Club 2 in your Steam account.
Midnight Club 2 was originally released all the way back in 2003 for the PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC, and was a pretty spectacular looking game in its day. It features a wide range of fictional cars and bikes based on real-life vehicles, racing through the streets of Los Angeles, Paris and Tokyo, plus multiplayer support for up to eight racers at once! It's not what you'd call a high-fidelity racing simulator, but as a high-speed, "light-it-up-and-drive" game, it was pretty fantastic.
Not a whole lot more to say, really. Do this, get that, be happy. You'll need a Steam account with at least one game registered to it already, and if that game, or any of them, happens to be Midnight Club 2, then you get nothing [http://steamcommunity.com/games/rockstargames/announcements/detail/1045078427175199696]. Hey, life's tough.
