A scaled-down version of the PlayStation 2 launch title, Midnight Club: Street Racing for the Game Boy Advance offers players a top-down perspective of the action as they race through the streets of New York and London. As in the PS2 version, the game revolves around a story-oriented career mode in which the goal is to become the best known illegal street racer by winning the 40 available cars from your competitors. Races are initiated by contacting rivals via cell phone or by following "hook men" that lead to the starting line. During races, drivers must hit checkpoints while avoiding damage-causing scrapes and collisions as they speed through tight turns and shifting lanes. As players win races, more enticing and difficult challenges become available. A password system is used to save progress..
