Midnight Club : Los Angeles (ps3)

Rockstar has it's upcoming gamed named Midnight Club : Los Angeles...this franchise has been out for the xbox360 and the ps3. Not to be confused with Wangan Midnight :maximum tune 3.This game was the 4th of the Midnight Club franchise.
"I am the almighty driver~~~~"

The story follows while playing as "Mr Nobody".And why did I call him that?Because he HAS no name.Many of the cutscenes are similar to Grand Theft Auto IV and so does the animation.In the first gameplay you get to pick 3 types of cars .The nissan 240x , the Volkswagen Golf GTi , and the Volkswagen sirocoro.All of them were Tuner , Muscle , and Exotic..The game features a HUGE variety of cars and 3 Racing bikes from kawashaki and duggati.

Rockstar has confirmed that the entire map was the REAL map of Los Angeles and Hollywood...NO! NOT BOLLYWOOD!.The graphics was not what i expected and some of the trees look like boxes sometimes.Though the graphics was somewhat like Grand Theft Auto it is infact that Midnight Club runs on a modified engine of GTAIV. Unlike Need For Speed Undercover , It has many civalians walking in and out of the road and VERY realistic considerable traffic. It was dissapointing when you cant bash the fuck out of the civalians on the road because this game was rated 13+.There isn't much swearing though but passive insults were inside of the game. The characters have many colourful personalities , some of them were helpfull and friendly saying "whats up homie?U in for da hood?lets race nigga!" or some will say"Hey slowcoach! get out of ma crib fool!".The anoying part was when your friend kepts calling you nonstop for quest and information you dont wanna know.And it really blocks your radar , that means you cant locate yourself.If u wanna start racing , you have to go to drivers who are crusing in the streets and flash your headlights , then they will race you to that racepoint.Theres even day and night cycle for this map and the climax changes too.Real physics were involved exept the part where you hit a pole or tree you still go through it with a deduction of 5 mph.The roads were Extra skiddy when its raining and the bad part is , theres no smoke coming out from the tired when you do a burnout.


The cars are fully customizeable including the interior.You can pimp your car up with neon , spoilers , write your own numberplate like BEEJ 1337 , car headlights bodies , and paint them with vinyls which make your car fucking sick.In order to unlock cars , you need rep . Rep is obtained from racing street racers or also known as "EXP" to MMORPG players.Rep can be used to unlock body kits , paints , performance parts , and many more . Sadly you can't tune your ride the way you want it.There are few cars which has been taken by game directors and are already modified and also discribed as "DUB edition".

The gameplay controls were a little bit retarded because the right analog stick was used to accelerate but , unlike any other racing games , they let you assign buttons of your own liking.The music tracks were awesome and there were many types of music to be selected to suit your style.There are many types of races like highway sprint , pinkslip races and etc etc.There are no roadblocks or invisible walls like NFS and you have to find your way through the traffic , yellow smoke pops out each time you reach everyone of them to the finish line.Sadly this game dosnt have drag-racing , drift tournaments , and other challenging events experienced on other games . While racing you get to have your own special car abilities like Agro , shockwave , speed breaker , and boost.As example , while equiped with shockwave , go near to your enemies and shock them , giving them an acceleration haywire and cause them to slow down , and agro for smashing cars out of your way . Slipstreams are avalable and also known as drafting and if you stay behind your opponents long enough you will get a free nitrous boost . Although that was unrealistic , it really helps you to catch up with other AIs.To prevent opponents to slipstream you , you can shift your weight and start driving on two wheeles and stop their slipstream.

The enemy AI was extremly challenging and avalable in many types of difficulties.Such as dodging vehicles , smashing you into busses , cornering you ,slipstreaming and many more.The gambling was realistic such as pinkslip races , you cant restart . And the system is foolproof if you off and on your ps3 . Say good bye to your precious car.And you might most likely bang your buck when your house electricity goes off.Online gameplay is also avalable but sadly I havent tried it yet.I had noticed that when you're winning the game just throws alot of traffic at you such as placing 2 busses in front of you . But I dont mean that they spawn in front of you , they just was placed there.In this game , theres even police who wants to shut down street racers just like NFS most wanted , but sadly there's no heat level and the police is more difficult to avoid.You can pull over and pay the parking ticket and You will NEVER go to jail.Or you can escape the cops.The cop evasion system was quite similar to NFS but its just that the police are smarter and faster but theres no heat levels , helicopters , or roadblocks . Its just plain LAPD all the way.
