VGM: Midnight Club: Los Angeles Review

VGM:

"Overall, Midnight Club: Los Angeles is arguably the best entry into the series. Cars handle exceptionally well, the city is rendered beautifully, and there is a wide selection of music to accompany you while you're serving up beatdowns to opponents. While the difficult does provide a disparaging amount of frustration for some gamers, it's also a good motivator to keep you on your toes. Some gamers may find the small amount of cars available a turnoff, but there's so many positive aspects of the game that it's currently one of the best arcade racers available right now. The feeling of speed is alive and well. There's never been a better time to experience the streets of Los Angeles."

Then why did you guys only give this an 8/10? I hate review sites.

Hydrolex5640d ago

comparing to racing games like GranTurismo this game is an 8

DA_SHREDDER5640d ago

but now its all just the same, but with better graphics. I like games that offer more then just a pretty car too drive. Driving should be about fun. Also, the online for Gran Turismo is garbage. There isn't even voice chat. Japanese think that we dont need voice chat, so I doubt they will include it in GT5,

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.

SDuck763d ago

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

ChiefofLoliPolice763d ago (Edited 763d 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.

SDuck763d ago

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

Flawlessmic763d ago (Edited 763d 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!!

YungDragon762d 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.

thatguyhayat2003d 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

LucasRuinedChildhood2003d 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

PhoenixUp2003d 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

Relientk772004d ago

I remember loving Midnight Club 2 on PS2

RizBiz2003d ago

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

DaFeelz2003d ago

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

RizBiz2003d ago (Edited 2003d 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_Noctis2003d 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.

CurbStompin2150d 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_Slaughter2150d 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.
