Midnight Run: Road Fighter 2 is the sequel to Road Fighter, developed and published by Konami and released in arcades in March 1996, and on the PlayStation in 1997. While the arcade version was released worldwide, the PlayStation version was only released in Japan and Europe. In Europe, the PlayStation version is just titled Midnight Run, removing the Road Fighter connection.
Gameplay[]
Its main selling point was that it allows the player to shift back and forth between manual and automatic transmission during races. Although different from the 2-D Road Fighter, the scenery is similar to other racing games set in Japan such as Initial D Arcade Stage and Wangan Midnight, except the cars are not licensed. The player also has a unique selection of normal cars and tuned cars between the four cars available. There is three tracks available; Sunset Trial, Starlight Heat and Midnight Run, each of them representing a difficulty level.
