 MIDNIGHT CLUB LOS ANGELES - SEE THE STARS! October 28, 2008
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Midnight Club Los Angeles is the fourth in the series of Midnight Club games and it is absolutely great! The city of angels is stunning to look at, with noticeable landmarks such as the Hollywood sign and Santa Monica pier on the way. Gameplay is varied with everything from point to point races to circuit racing and even a mode where you have to crash another car off the road! Sounds are good with everthing from rap to rock songs and some dance too. The only slight problem is that the game is rather difficult but nevertheless challenging as some race routes are a bit frustrating aswell as AI being a bit gruesome! But All in All a good game.
Excelent Game Fail to see the reason for the hate November 1, 2008

I played this game first while visiting a friend. I'm usualy cautious about new racing games becase they are either a poor rip off of the need for speed series or they are not origional. At first I took a dislike to the game when presented with 3 bad cars to start out with.
However after about an hour or so of playing and a few tune ups later I had grown very fond of the car dubbing it the "Initial D car" this was only helped by the huge ammount of customization that is avaliable including the licence plates and weel dimensions.
I read other reviews saying how the crash system made it imposible to recover a race after the first crash. and i simply found this to be untrue. if you crash at everyother turn your likely to loose but if you keep an eye out and drive well enough you should be able to keep the other racers from escaping.People seem to look down on the crash aspect of the game but all i can tell is that they must be terrible at the game to lose on every ocasion they crash.
The pinkslip race system was very intuitive since the first attempt i made at the race resulted me losing my car. But when i returned with my "initial D" car seeing it as a make or break part of the gane i was relieved to see that the car i had lost could be won back.
Finaly the powerups. (my personal favourite Roar) never ceased to make me laugh when at the flick of a button you can send your oponent cars flying off the road into traffic.
Midnight Club LA, a great game! October 31, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
So this is the fourth Midnight Club and my second after having DUB edition on PSP.
The moment you start you are immersed in a very realistic "living" world. L.A is huge and depending on what time of day it is traffic fluctuates, this is a very realistic addition to a good series.
The races are very free roaming, letting you take your own route and shortcuts if necessary. This is similar to Burnout Paradise but in my opinion it is done slicker and faster. The game boasts no load times, the most you will ever get is around 1 second!
Now for the cars. There is a good choice of vehicles, cars and bikes. They are split into Tuner, Muscle, Luxury and Exotic. However despite having a lot of vehicles I thought of having a few more bikes and Exotic cars. But that is down to your own preference.
When you start off you will be bombarded with missions from racers, your own mechanic and friends, if you get some. Forget all the people saying there are to many missions at once, because in reality they have no time limits. This means you can pick and choose your own priority of missions, each with different rewards.
Now onto the very debatable issue of tough A.I. Sometimes it is quite average and a win requires not a lot of effort, however sometimes due to severe "Rubber banding" they will catch you with ease from a big lead. Now this might bewilder many of you as it did me, but to be honest just move onto another easier race and come back later with a faster vehicle, (A bike is a good choice). If not you can play it a little bit dirty and block and ram opponents, yes they will catch up but you will get a lead that can get you to the finish. (I have done this many a time).
The customization is great in this game from the performance mods to tweaking every bit of the car, even the interior. To top this it has a Forza 2 rivaling vinyl editor. This can be taken to another level online, where you can rate other peoples vehicles, which is a nice add-on.
The online multiplayer is strong and solid and has many a mode from your average cruise to race to capture the flag and a funny "Hot potato" keep away game. What is disappointing is that there are not many people in lobbys, many of you are not buying this game to unfair 1 star reviews. Or maybe it is because many are sucked into the very long and rewarding single player.
Anyway this game is great, good physics, great customization and solid online make this a really fun, long lasting game to buy for petrolheads and casual racers alike.
Another Rockstar Gem November 5, 2008

Despite what some people are saying, this game is the best street racer ever and one of the 360s best racers.From a technical standpoint the game is rock solid, the frame rates steady, the graphics are beautiful, the draw distance is near limitless and the overall presentation is top notch.Its a very content heavy game with tons of options on and offline.Not just in terms of the car modification but just the level of personalisation in all aspects of the game.Theres online multiplayer which supports up to 16 people, with races, challenges and a cruise mode that allows total freedom across all of L.A.The game is by now quite infamous for being exeptionaly difficult, but i personaly have found no exessive difficulty that wasnt just a result of my poor modification choices.Overall this game ticks all the boxes and plenty more, Buy it now...
For the Midnight Club lovers! November 22, 2008

If like me you loved Midnight Club 3, you'll love this. The graphics are lovely, very crisp and clear. The music selection is good, music to suit different tastes (rock, reggae, hip hop, electro etc). You can create your own playlist which means you don't have to listen to the music you don't like. It also works with the force feedback wheel which is fun. I really like the `action' camera, it makes the driving experience feel more realistic and fun as it moves with the car rather than being static. You can choose the static camera if you prefer, or in the in car camera.
The game itself plays well. It's very fun. The sense of speed is great. As you dodge in and out of traffic. I don't find this game too hard. I started with a golf GTI 1983 which is a bit old and crappy but it's still fast enough for these early races. Starting with these cars is quite a change as in these games you usually start at least with a Lexus IS3000. But starting with an old car does give you a sense of working your way up. Can't wait to unlock the Audi R8 which looks gorgeous. The car modding is really fun; you can even do the inside. Trying to outrun the cops is enjoyable... pulling over pretending your stopping then speeding off! But when they catch you after a long chase it's a bit of a blow - it can be quite costly, especially when you earn so little from racing.
This is a fun game, with great graphics. Brilliant car modding and great driving. I like it a lot more than Juiced 2.
