Motor City Online


Motor City Online was a racing massively multiplayer online video game released by Electronic Arts on October 29, 2001. The point of the game was to buy classic cars ranging from 1930s to 1970s models, tune them up, and race them against other players.

Many fans of Motor City Online consider Need for Speed: World a spiritual successor of Motor City Online, although EA has denied any direct link between the two games.

The game featured some role-playing video game elements, such as leveling up after completing tasks, and a functional, supply and demand economy for players to get involved in.
