The end effect looks incredible, and while it may have been preferable to favor speed from the standpoint of maximizing the emphasis on visceral racing, the end result of Midnight Club 3 looks beautiful. Minimal use of speed blurring helps to increase the sense of speed, and the environments, as a whole, load at an incredible rate, using the same obvious-load-time-free streaming that Rockstar made famous with the Grand Theft Auto series. This game seems to push the limits of the PlayStation 2 and probably comes pretty close to pushing the limits of the Xbox, with beautiful light, excellent car reflections, and incredibly detailed vehicles, right down to things such as the rims on your wheels and the fast rotation thereof. Graphically, the game takes the interesting route of lowering the framerate – and thus overall feel of speed – in favor of making things as beautiful as possible. Third, the fact that, most of the time, the police will be a bigger threat than the other racers, especially if you are riding a Chopper. Second, the physics are extremely over-the-top – you will be flying like you had Speed Racer's jumpjacks. First, the specials – which include nitrogen boosts, a "power boost" if you tailgate, and three "meter" powers which benefit specific play styles in specific vehicle types – do not really contribute to strategy, instead reducing its importance. Overall, the gameplay is excellent with only three flaws. I sort of wish you could get Harleys or Japanese makes, or for that matter racing cycles instead of just Chopper-style, but from a balance standpoint, Choppers were probably the better choice.

#MIDNIGHT CLUB 3 DUB EDITION REMIX XBOX ONE UPGRADE#
You can't upgrade motorcycles, although you can tweak the looks of your bike and its rider, but then again, in the real world, bike customizations aren't all that common.Ī short aside: The motorcycles are a second attraction compared to the cars, but they're a well-developed second attraction you can't do as much in them in terms of hitting things, but you can take shortcuts and paths that four-wheeled vehicles – even those that temporarily become two-wheeled with the L1 button – just can't touch. If you want to upgrade, go to six-one-nine or one of the other city garages – you do all of your upgrades, looks customizations, and (oddly enough) car purchases here. Just flash your lights, and you're good to go.

Strangely, empty intersections have road flares which represent race start points, along with a few drivers and riders who you can challenge, and of course, traffic. The game's Career Mode allows you to freely explore the city and find races. This is not a bad thing, given the way this game handles things, getting a greatly varied feel out of the courses while offering some familiarity. Some races do have a minor gimmick of limiting you to certain types of cars – sorry, but if you're racing against a Choppers club, you're not going to be using a Hummer – but other than that, it's mostly consistent, with the variety being in the exact courses and cop locations. Of course, this is in the streets of some of the busiest cities in the world, so you're going to have traffic – including pissed-off cops with expertly tuned super cars – jumps, and other obstacles between you and the next point.

Don't worry about being too precise – if you cross the intersection or otherwise get close, you're good to go – and each racer decides how to get there.

A series of checkpoints (of which the next two are shown on your mini-map) define where you need to go. This does not mean that you have to be playing the game like it's chess in fact, you can beat much of the game on the same skills you have from older Burnout titles.Ī Midnight Club race is pretty much the same between any two races at its core. It is a thinking man's racer, where knowing every shortcut in the city, exactly how your car handles, and even considering exactly where to use each special move, all combine into a deep and careful experience. There is a similar visceral thrill, but the game is a very different experience. I mentioned over-the-top special moves and physics, but this is not Burnout Revenge. The final result is impressive, and extremely fun, but not quite one of the ultimate legendary games of the system. It takes street racing, one of the most visceral thrills out there, and adds in some incredibly realistic parts control – right down to the manufacturer from a list of real car and parts manufacturers – and then throws in over-the-top physics, sluggish graphics, and special moves which completely eliminate the expected realism.

Midnight Club is a game which is both extremely awesome and yet incredibly flawed at the same time.
