Midnight club los angeles xbox 360 review
Racers this gen either sink or swim from instant classics like forza 2 or PGR4 all the way down to dull games like juiced 2 but with midnight club los angeles rockstar have created a beautiful fun must own racer.
Career
MC.LA has a very impressive career you can find any racer you want on your map by putting them on your GPS and flashing your tail lights at them the other good feature in MCLA is how you can choose how difficult you want the races to be by going from green to red and the AI can be really challenging but the good thing is you could easily ram them off the road to give yourself a big advantage and they will even fight back. The city you drive in is just visually stunning the roads are very detailed and the car interiors get close to games like GT5 which is fantastic and the cars looks stunning from every angle and MCLA now has interiow views which are fantastic for example when you turn the wheel unlike most racers it turns like a proper car wheel to maybe 900 degrees and the cars feel great to drive and when you shift gear you get a very satisfying feeling as the car accelarates in a believable way an even the weather is spot especially when the sun shines on the road it just makes the city looks visually stunning.
The cars in MCLA maybe look nice but theres not a lot to choose from because theres only 40 + cars to choose from in the game but the fortunate thing is it just feels like enough although i would have liked more but thats just nit picking so you know.
The game makes your work for you performace you need to race to unlock more and its really rewarding to finally get a faster car that you can take flatout and see the difference and that brings me onto night racing which is another visually stunning part of this game that really feels like the fast and furious you just get the sense your a real racer going beyond the speed limit and it feels awesome every single time.
The cops are also impressive they communicate with proper lines that you would expect like "This guy is dangerous" or " he is using nitrous" and they try proper real world tricks to get you off the road which makes this a proper street racing game that easily surpasses NFS when it comes to realism although NFS undercover could be the better game this year.
MY ONLY COMPLAINTS
game needs more cars
can be frustrating hard
odd damage
Closing comments
MCLA is a visually stunning game that has impressive driving physics and manages to feel like a proper street racer and is a great game that should appeal to people who loved fast and furious and are just plain crazy about cars
8.5/10
