    I love racining games i have burnout and IDAS4. Just bought this game today and its alright. It feels a lil better then the PSP version. I still have to say Initial D Extreme Stage is more fun then this. I dont play burnout much to much patches and updates. Ill be playing Midnight Club LA for awhile hopefully it wont be to hard.

    dont know what this guy is talking about, this game was not that difficult, i finished it and never really had any problems, yes it punishes you if you make mistakes, but so what, it would be pretty damn stupid if you crashing and taking a wrong turns and then still winning races, if that happened they would be marking it down for being to easy, there is no pleasing some people

    This is one console exclusive I seriously regret for not being on the PC. I hope it comes for the PC and I'm willing to wait for it (I still am)!!!

    This is the easiet MC I've ever played! If you think this is hard, play through Tokyo career from the PSP version of MC:LA.

    I don't like this reviewer. a lot of his criticisms seem stupid, like about the map. also, the game's not that hard; all the midnight clubs have been challenging in this way and it's fine with most people.

    @Firefox67 I have it to. But I've done a lot of races and some are hard but not many. Mostly its just the tournaments.

    @ikouze There is a cruise mode for midnight club la. It's in the xbox live or psn menu in the game.

  • Ikouze

    Posted Jun 20, 2009 11:02 am PT

    Eh..I like Midnight Club 3 better than this...Mainly because there was multiplayer like Cruise and all that but this one took all of that out and just put Online play which pissed me off...

    wow so gay I picked a Nissan as my starting car. I bought some other car for 4.5k and it sucks more than my starting car.....

    if you want street racing in real next-genaration way,this is a game for you,but if you want crazy high speed that can let you on the edge of your seat,burnout paradise is for you,the problem is i want street racing with crazy speed!!!!

  • earthnuggets

    Posted Jun 1, 2009 6:06 pm PT

    Maybe it's because of the patch, but I've exploded a gas station in some of the Medium-Hard marked races and STILL managed to win. The whole "one mistake and it's over" thing is a joke. That's true for a lot of racing games, but not this one!

  • zjw1234

    this game is great especially when you see the that the review is wrong the gameplay is easy once you get going and the customization features are great but its gets boring after a while if you get this game you must get the add on south central
    you get low riders and range rovers

  • thinpiggy

    Posted May 22, 2009 6:23 pm PT

    What?? This game IS original because the game's concepts are from this series

  • crak3d

    Posted May 18, 2009 10:22 am PT

    This game is NOT difficult. If you've played any of the recent NFS games, you'll be right at home with MC:LA.

    This review is inaccurate. It's pathetic that a game with this much quality receives such a low score.

  • Eat-Earth

    Posted May 9, 2009 4:50 pm PT

    can't see why anyone would give this game 7.5 its graphics make me happy, and the game play isn't too hard just know where your goin and it's a cake walk, and even if your frustrated with the game the customization in the vehicles will keep ya goin for hours

    This is a hard game but not too hard if you keep an eye on your car level when upgrading. I upgraded a muscle car to the max but didn't realize my AI opponents would be pushed to the same level as well. I recommend upgrading until you're just one upgrade away from the next level. Racing in a weaker car, but not too weak, will make most races easier.

    looks the best racer to date, shame its so frustrating to play sometimes. But well worth a look at the right price.

  • Mr_Fujiv1

    Posted Apr 17, 2009 1:15 am PT

    i really wanted to buy this game but i was put off when they said it was too hard are the graphics really good??

  • lindseyiluvyou

    Posted Mar 14, 2009 8:56 pm PT

    I have no idea why they only gave it a 7.5

  • Avenged_Plague

    Posted Mar 8, 2009 12:20 am PT

    looks alot easier to know where your going in a race, unlike in burnout paradise

    Posted Feb 26, 2009 10:53 pm PT

    i lovveee this game , its absoloutely the best FUN racer out there !! .... the game is frustrating though . when ur leading the entire race and one small mistake in the end skrews the whole thing up!

  • lindseyiluvyou

    Posted Feb 19, 2009 3:31 pm PT

    What i hate the most is the car deliverys i have the hardest time

  • Zetona

    Posted Jan 31, 2009 9:43 am PT

    The game isn't difficult, but it is frustrating. You can have a great race going, only to hit some traffic that you didn't see or miss a turn, and go from first to last just getting yourself going in the right direction. Otherwise, it's a fun and gratifying racer.

  • ali-009

    Posted Jan 29, 2009 12:43 am PT

    the guy is good at racing games that is why gamespot choose him,don't belive me ign said the same thing about how hard is the game and how map is not very useful and where is the arrow anyway,midnight club series is awsome for the great diffcultly,but this game looks hard just see how the car drifts,aron thomas was very brave to say the truth.

  • bkamagnum

    Posted Jan 28, 2009 4:45 pm PT

    this is a frustrating game i just like midnight club too much so i continue to try and beat the game

  • ali-009

    Posted Jan 28, 2009 3:10 am PT

    ign said the same thing that the aron thomas said i should listen to them anyway.

  • ali-009

    Posted Jan 28, 2009 3:03 am PT

    people i think what he mean is people who played midnight club 3,will find it great but people who are new to the series will find it hard because this is the only game that have free roam racing,i mean you can get lost if you used high speed in tight turns what i'm saying is midnight club needs a little bit time to get used to it so midnight club is one of the best street racing games ever made,the map doesn't look that much useful but it looks awsome,great game it is better than need for speed undercover,but lets all face it need for speed most wanted is better than midnight club 3,the real star of the great games in the need for speed series are the police,but midnight club shows even better gameplay while racing,so it looks awsome.

  • Amster_G

    I want this game now. Apparently it supports the G25 racing wheel? I just got that thing and man, this game looks fun.

  • nortorious

    Posted Jan 9, 2009 2:27 pm PT

    The gameplay is different and it's more fun..... IT'S REALLY EASY

  • diamond2d

    Posted Jan 9, 2009 12:42 pm PT

    i think this game deffently deserves a 8.0 or 8.5, since the update the game seems abit more easier. I'd rather this than Undercover anyday

    This game is great and it isn't even hard lol.
