open world
urban environments. Throughout the series, players race through condensed depictions of

Premise
[
編輯
]
The
Midnight Club
series was inspired by the real life Japanese street racing group (
hashiriya
), known as the Mid Night Club, that hosted illegal street races on the
Bayshore Route
(known natively as the
Wangan
) of the
Shuto Expressway
in the
Greater Tokyo Area
. Two
kanji
characters (
틀:Nihongo2
, or "wangan") appear in each of the series' logos; the Japanese
manga
series
Wangan Midnight
? also inspired by the club ? includes the same two characters in its logos. The kanji is removed from the titles in the Japanese versions of
Midnight Club: Street Racing
and
Midnight Club: Los Angeles
as to avoid legal conflict with
Wangan Midnight
rights owners
Kodansha
.

In each game, the player begins with a relatively unmodified and slow vehicle. Higher-performance vehicles can be won or purchased by the player after competing in races against other club members. The goal is to defeat each of the other opponents (which include "city champion" and "world champion" racers) en route to becoming the new champion of the Midnight Club. Later installments of the series include real vehicle brands with sophisticated customization options for each, and "club" races, which consist of racers using vehicles of the same class.
