Midnight Club: LA Reviewed

User Rating: 9 | Midnight Club: Los Angeles PS3
The street racing scene has been seen many times now in video games and it continues to shine and to be as intense as ever with Midnight Club LA.

Presentation: Midnight Club is known for it's line up of licensed vehicles and they make good use of this. The cars are absolutely beautiful. You can tell they put in a lot of effort to perfect each detail of every car, this does a great job of enhancing the whole street racing experience...Pretty cars going really fast in Los Angeles. The environments such as the buildings and billboard advertisements fit in perfectly with the game as it feels like you're actually cruising down the streets of LA.

Audio: The first thing to mention about Midnight Club's audio is the soundtrack. This game features a wide selection of music for it's soundtrack and like everything else, it fits in perfectly to the game. The music doesn't seem out of place and almost all the songs have links or relations to LA which I found was pretty clever. The sounds of cars and racing also are well done. The voice acting isn't bad but isn't the best either, although the different characters you'll encounter actually match the kinda of people you would expect to find in LA.

Game play: Of course this is the most important feature of any game and Midnight Club doesn't fall short. Although it may be challenging and a bit hard, it keeps you hooked as you'll want to keep trying to beat a race if you don't first succeed. You play as a newcomer to LA who knows a thing or two about street racing. As soon as you know it, you're winning races and tournaments with cash prizes or even cars. To add more onto the excitement, you have the option to race for pink slips and this really brings out the intensity since you risk your pimped out ride that you spent your time and money on but in return, you run the chance of winning your opponents own pimped set of wheels.

In conclusion I recommend you buy this game or at least rent it since it's well worth your time.

P.S. I haven't tried the multilayer mode since I spend my time playing the single player story mode.
