ButtonMasher: Midnight Club: Los Angeles Review

HopsNZ writes:

"At the end of the day, MCLA is just a simple arcade racer. But Rockstar have taken this simplicity and turned it into success with an easy to follow campaign mode that fans of the underground racing genre will not only enjoy, but also be proud to play. Fan boys will enjoy the online community that Rockstar have created. There is plenty of variety within the game modes, and the visuals are nice enough that you actually wouldn't mind just cruising around taking it all in. It's no Forza, but it is an enjoyable game that is worthy of a purchase."

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.

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

ChiefofLoliPolice761d ago (Edited 761d 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.

SDuck761d ago

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

Flawlessmic761d ago (Edited 761d 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!!

YungDragon760d 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.

thatguyhayat2002d 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

LucasRuinedChildhood2002d 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

PhoenixUp2001d 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

Relientk772002d ago

I remember loving Midnight Club 2 on PS2

RizBiz2002d ago

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

DaFeelz2002d ago

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

RizBiz2002d ago (Edited 2002d 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_Noctis2001d 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.

CurbStompin2148d 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_Slaughter2148d 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.
