GamesRadar: Midnight Club: Los Angeles Review

By sticking to its roots, Midnight Club Los Angeles may not be a master of innovation, but as one of the most polished, finely honed and adrenaline-filled racing games, you won't find any that do it better. You'll love your time in the City of Angels...

You'll love:
* Working up from banger to babe magnet
* The balance of the car handling
* The uninterrupted gameplay

You'll hate:
* Being trash talked by cocky street racers
* Wasting all your tuning money on fancy paint
* Being knocked off your bike on the last turn

AngryHippo5676d ago

....if there wasn't so many really good high profile games coming out in the next couple weeks i would definately pick this up. It will have to wait that bit longer though. Good to see it getting good scores though.

sackboy says hi5676d ago

im shocked, i tought it will get 7-8/10....not 9 .. :O

gauravraw5676d ago

Where the hell is IGN review? The game is supposed to come out tomorrow right?

Isn't it a bit strange from R*'s side, absolutely no hype for Midnight Club whereas people were biting their nails for GTA IV launch.

Has they finally learned that hype hurts sometimes? I hope so.

If Midnight Club is making a comeback, it's about time – Take-Two is sitting on a gem of a franchise

Midnight Club: Los Angeles was a great swansong for the arcade racer, but now the genre’s a bit less packed, it’s time for Take-Two to bring it back.

SDuck779d ago

after NFS failed for so long, I'd say this comeback is long overdue

ChiefofLoliPolice779d ago (Edited 779d ago )

Hold on now...Heat was actually a step on the right direction. Hell even 2016 NFS was. I wouldn't say it failed per se.

SDuck779d ago

not necessarily bad but not quite good either is what I'm saying

Flawlessmic779d ago (Edited 779d ago )

Yes, yess and yesssss!!

I loved dub edition back in the day, had a killer soundtrack aswell.

LA was sick as well, cmon rockstar give the people what they want and being a classic back!!

YungDragon778d ago

Dub Edition was my absolute fave!! I hope they think along those lines if they bring it back

Midnight Club 3 is the best Street racing game imo. Also Midnight club was the real start of waypoint racing. It really pushed the open world race design to the next level, Where you could race on roofs etc. We need it back asap

It's Time For a New Midnight Club Game From Rockstar

GR: "It has been far too long since we’ve got to play a new Midnight Club game. It has now been a decade since Rockstar San Diego released Midnight Club: Los Angeles for PS3, Xbox 360 and PSP. When its open-world racing title came out, it seemed like the natural evolution of the PS2-era street racing titles that were all the rage. The map of Los Angeles was massive (it was bigger than all three of Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition‘s cities combined), and there was more variety than ever before in terms of car customization and race types."

It’s time for Rockstar to make more new games period.

Ever since 2013, this major publisher hasn’t released a new game outside of releases. They’ll finally do so soon with RDR2, but that’s only one new game in 5 years.

We don’t even know what future titles this massive publisher has in the imminent future, which is unheard of for a publisher of that size or of any size. No other publisher could get away with that.

thatguyhayat2020d ago

That maybe true but red dead redemption took 8 years to make and from what we've seen it looks fantastic. You dont want them to be like Activision and EA do you

LucasRuinedChildhood2019d ago

If Rockstar's output is more akin to their output from previous generations, that's not going to make them like EA or Activision. Quite the opposite.

EA and Activision make far less core games now as well. The disparity between PS3 EA and PS4 EA is crazy. The PS3-era EA actually made a large variety of great games in spite of their questionable business practices

PhoenixUp2019d ago

@ that

You think every publisher that offers multiple quality titles a year will end up like Activision or EA?

Rockstar released multiple games last generation and that never happened, so idk why they can’t do the same thing this gen. Yeah a game can take a long while to develop, but that shouldn’t mean they don’t release any other games as a publisher in the meantime

Relientk772020d ago

I remember loving Midnight Club 2 on PS2

RizBiz2019d ago

F*ck yeah. Still the best racing game ever made.

DaFeelz2019d ago

Loved MNC: LA. I’d take a remaster of that any day

RizBiz2019d ago (Edited 2019d ago )

I definitely agree that we need a new Midnight Club, but I don't really trust Rockstar to be able to pull it off. The last couple entries were awful, and after seeing what the did with the dumpster fire that is GTA Online I can only presume they'll try to pull the same BS.

King_Noctis2019d ago

Midnight Club LA was not that great. If they make a new one, I hope they make something similar to Midnight Club 3. That game was the best in the series, at least for me.

RainOfTerror2166d ago

CurbStompin2166d ago

Hell yeah! Gamestop has Table Tennis for $2.99 now, and Midnight Club LA Complete for $9.99, Guarantee the prices will rise tomorrow so get them now.

Sgt_Slaughter2166d ago

I literally just bought LA Complete but for PS3 instead due to their 4 for $20 ($16 with Elite Pro) sale. Glad I have my receipt at least.
