Midnight GT is an early entrant into the swathe of night underground racing games, a sub-genre made popular by Need for Speed: Underground and the Midnight Club series of games. The game offers rather advanced graphics for a title of its caliber, including complex shadow, lighting and reflection effects on the cars. A simple budget title, it offers ten tracks in eight different environments throughout Japan in everything from bustling urban jungles to open rural roads. The player must place first in each race to be able to access the next track.
