I agree with several of the other reviewers regarding weaknesses in the game: you can't play your own sound track, there is no difficulty level choice and the cheat codes don't seem to work.
Let me mention one other item, though.  You kill people.  Sure I know it's an illegal street racing game.  I'm prepared to run from cops and drive on the wrong side of the road....  But I wasn't prepared to hit pedestrians - dozens of them - in every race.  I actually killed a woman and dragged her body under my car for about a block!
I'm not a great race game driver, but anyone playing MC2 will kill someone in each race.  You don't have to drive on the sidewalk or anything - it just comes with the territory and you ignore them and drive on.  At least that's what you're supposed to do, I guess.
It's a level of realism I can do without.  If you want to kill someone there's plenty of first person shooters out there.  I don't consider it entertaining when some poor guy flies over my windshield.
Wait for Project Gotham 2 instead!
