"King of the LA racing scene, Dice is not accustomed to losing. He always brings his ""A"" game, so be sure you're ready before you go for the crown."

Dice is a minor character in Midnight Club II. He is the champion of Los Angeles and is the last racer the player faces before moving to Paris. His major presence within the city of Los Angeles comes into play when he decides to challenge the player to a series of two races after defeating every racer in Los Angeles. Dice is the last of the many Los Angeles street racers that teach the player a new technique, with his being Two-Wheel Driving. Dice is voiced by Robert Jackson.
Career mode[]
After defeating the last available racer (whoever that may be) in Los Angeles, after their last cutscene is finished, the player will be instantly shown a small pre-race cutscene that introduces the champion to them and their title as the champion of the current city they are in. Once this cutscene is over, it transitions into meeting Dice for the first time.
Dice, at first, very clearly doesn't think highly of the player as he chuckles to himself and, while thinking out loud, calls them "another rookie looking for a title shot".
While still thinking to himself, he says that the player is "trying to take what's mine" and that "he might have some juice". After pausing for a moment, he says he is going to "drop some knowledge on this fool."
After this, Dice then warns the player to be careful, as "he's got a reputation".
After beating him and his crew in Crossover that takes them on a long tour all around Los Angeles, the player is greeted with another cutscene with Dice thinking out loud again. Looking noticeably more frustrated than last time, he mentions how "this kid got something, but he ain't seen the Dice in full effect". Not wanting the player to waste more of his time, Dice yells at them to just drive.
After beating him and his crew again in Droppin' Knowledge around a foggy, traffic-packed Los Angeles, the Jersey XS and the two-wheel driving technique are unlocked. After this, the final cutscene for Dice plays. He finally admits defeat and commends them for having "some mad skills" while nodding in approvement.

Trivia[]
- Dice is the only character with incorrect vehicle colors. In all three of Dice's cutscenes, his Jersey XS is shown to be black, but while racing, his car appears red. It could be possible that black was his car's original color before red was eventually chosen as the default color. It might also be a developer oversight.
- His appearance, mannerisms, and the way he talks about his "reputation" and how "the player's got some mad skills" after beating him, may be a subtle reference to Vin Diesel's character from the Fast and Furious film series, Dominic Toretto.
- Unlike most characters in the game, he shows respect for your victory.
