A Wide-open LA Like You've Never Imagined
Midnight Club Los Angeles drops players into a painstakingly recreated version of world-famous Tinseltown. Broken down into five distinct open-world gameplay areas, linked on the game map, cumulatively these areas comprise a massive area, much larger than anything ever seen in previous Midnight Club releases and possibly larger than any existing racer to date. Within these areas, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Hollywood, Mulholland Drive and Downtown LA, players are free to engage in mission play driving them to attain and customize a wide range of authentic world-class street racing vehicles, or to simply explore the city, taking on all comers in a variety of race types as they wish. Regardless, along the way they will experience not only the visual realism of the iconic boulevards, freeways, and landmarks made famous in TV and movies, but also the realism of the living breathing LA urban experience. Here traffic backs up then clears as people go to and leave work for the day, weather systems come and go and day turns to night, then back again. All the while the race goes on. It's all part of the living, breathing LA. It's all part of the Midnight Club.

The Cars
Midnight Club: Los Angeles will feature an astounding selection of vehicles in the Muscle Car, Exotics, Tuners, Motorcycle and Luxury car categories. At the time of publishing only a fraction of the total list has been announced, but a good sampling of what players can expect at launch can be seen below. Click the links in each category to see screen shots of the cars:

Muscle Cars
Saleen S302 Extreme
Chevrolet Corvette Z06
Dodge Challenger Concept Car
Bikes
Kawasaki Ninja ZX14
Exotics
Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster
Ford GT
Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder
Tuners
Volkswagen R32
Pontiac Solstice
1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX

Extreme Customization
Midnight Club Los Angeles continues the tradition of offering some of the deepest vehicle customization you will find in any video game. The hottest licensed cars and bikes in the world are at your disposal - kit them out, supe them up, and personalize them down to the last detail to make them all your own. Visit the Club's in-game garages located in Hollywood and Santa Monica and let your imagination run wild - tweaking and fine tuning through the following three different types of vehicle modifications:

Performance & Handling - To become a street legend, you're going to have to tune your vehicle for maximum performance. The garage offers three levels of upgrades for virtually every component on your vehicle, but it's up to you to craft the winning combination that will give you the edge on the competition.

Exterior - For the Midnight Club, stunting is a habit and its clandestine Los Angeles garages have all the toys needed to ensure heads turn in this jaded town. From making sure your car is dripping in candy paint, to adding unique body kits and jaw dropping extras, the garage offers practically limitless possibilities to personalize your vehicle with aftermarket accessories and customizable options.

Interior - Don't embarrass yourself by pulling up with an outrageously kitted-up car that has a 'me-too' factory interior. Not a good look! You're going to be spending a lot of time behind the wheel, so renovate and make yourself feel comfortable.

Beware or Befriend the Local Competition
The street racing scene of Midnight Club is tough, but tight, meaning that everyone that you meet in expansive Los Angeles could just as easily be an ally as an enemy. One thing is for certain though, they are all willing to throw down at the drop of a hat. Just a few of the faces you'll encounter out on the streets are:

NPC Karol from 'Midnight Club: Los Angeles' Karol, Age 45 - A veteran of Moscow's underground street racing circuit, Karol moved to LA in the 1990's after the collapse of the Soviet Union. If you're looking for cars, he's your man. He owns two successful garages and claims to be able to get hold of any vehicle, no questions asked. He also sees himself as a philosopher and will bend your ear if you left him. He mostly races around Hollywood and the Beaches and his rides include a 1975 Datsun 280Z, 1969 Boss Mustang 302, 2006 Dodge Challenger and a 1971 Lamborghini Miura SV.
NPC Annie from 'Midnight Club: Los Angeles' Annie, Age 31 - Annie has a rep as one of the fiercest drivers in the city. She detests posers and wannabes, is intelligent and sharp-tongued and pulls no punches when it comes to cutting the competition down to size. She has been spotted in everything from a 1983 VW Golf GTI, 2006 Pontiac Solstice, 2008 Chrysler 300C SRT-8, 2008 Audi RS4 and a 2004 Ford Shelby Cobra Concept and can usually be found hanging out near Pink's Hotdog Stand in Hollywood along with her crew.
Rockstar Games Social Club: Join the Community

5 out of 5 stars Perfect continuation of a great series   November 12, 2008
Tons to talk about with Midnight Club Los Angeles so I'll get right down to it. With the extended wait for this release, I had high hopes and Rockstar delivered on every one of them. The graphics on here are much smoother than on Rockstar's other big release this year, Grand Theft Auto IV. Frames flow seamlessly and this game looks incredible when played on your HDTV. When you first pop this game in and start your career, you're given a horrible hooptie that you're expected to start winning races with. Don't be discouraged, this game is pretty hard at the start but once you get into the flow of things, you'll find yourself winning races, racking up cash, and driving much nicer vehicles.
If you're looking for a storyline, you're better off going with Need For Speed Undercover, because Midnight Club LA has no storyline. Sure, you'll meet people along the way and there's a few cut scenes here and there, but this game is all about customization and racing.
The customization possibilities on here are literally endless. You are given full access to every shade of every color imaginable, as well as all sorts of shapes, designs, and letters that you can use to create whatever your heart desires on your car. Once you have your car looking the way you want, be sure to upload it to Rate My Ride and check out the creations of others while you're at it. If you're confident in your work and you make your ride purchaseable, you stand the chance at making some free money from others buying it. Your ride can sell online an unlimited number of times, and all the while you get to keep it along with the cash it makes. The one flaw with this that I've noticed is that once your ride gets 8 or 9 ratings, it really sits without being rated at all after that, and you're better off deleting it and reuploading it for a chance at more ratings.
One thing we were disappointed in with this game is the omission of custom soundtracks. You do have the option of playing music directly from your PS3 harddrive while playing the game, but it makes it pretty much impossible to change songs easily while you're racing like you can with the game's built-in soundtrack. Also, you cannot play your music while playing online.
The gameplay itself is great. This may be the best racer yet released for the PS3 or Xbox360. Los Angeles is absolutely stunning, especially when viewed at 200+ miles an hour. There's not as many gigantic jumps on here like there were in Midnight Club 3, but there's still a decent amount of air to be had. There are also 60 collectibles (yellow Rockstar canisters) hidden throughout the city. When you find these, you can open up all sorts of different cheats, but the cheats cannot be used in races if you want to earn cash or further your progress. The game also brings back the use of special abilities. Agro, Roar, and Zone are all back once again, and MC:LA introduces us to a fourth special ability called Emp. Emp releases an electric charge that temporarily disables all of the cars around you. It's interesting, but it can be very frustrating when used. If your opponent is directly in front of you and you use Emp, your opponents car reacts wildly and you really have to watch yourself or you could end up in a messy situation. Whereas with Agro or Roar, if your opponent is in front of you and you use either of those, there's little to no possibility of you crashing into them.
Online play is decent but does come with a few flaws. The frames get jerky at times, and at other times during a race your opponents cars appear out of nowhere, or appear to drive right through you. Other than that it works, and the ability to earn cash in online races is an added bonus, although it's not nearly as much as you earn during regular play.
Overall, Midnight Club Los Angeles packs a punch worth every penny. If you're a fan of any of the earlier Midnight Club releases, or just a fan of racing games in general, I would highly recommend this game.



5 out of 5 stars WOW! best driving game iv played in months   November 11, 2008
WOW. i played this game for 7 hours and unlocked level 2 cars, won like 14 races, and delivered like 10 cars. i don't own a ps3, but i am planning on getting one just for this game! this is not a really hard game, in fact this is almost an easy game. i recognize that i am pretty good at driving games, but for real, this game is not hard, and hell is it fun. the level of customization of amazing. overall the game is well worth the money. if you have a life...pass. it will suck you in so deep you'll never want to get up.


5 out of 5 stars Great game but don't buy it if you want to keep your job   November 11, 2008
This is one of the few games that are hard to put down even after hours of playing. The graphics are fantastic, the racing is breathless and the fun never stops. Don't get this game if you need to go to work in the next few days after you buy it - because like me, you'll be calling in sick.


3 out of 5 stars Good Game,   November 8, 2008
I will start off by saying this is a fun game. Im a racing game fan so it was worth my money. My only complaints about this game are. 1 it freezes for brief seconds during some races. Not to bad most of the time but sometimes it gets really frusterating especially when it happens over and over. 2 I drive a Subaru and the STI is not in the game the EVO made it. Which brings me to overall the car selection is not that great. I really liked the muscle cars but the Tuners and Luxery car selection sucks. I mean dang they have all these Cadillacs rollin around the city but I cannot bye a CTS-V I dont get it. My last complaint would be the servers seem to suck really bad. I can rarely get online. It may be cause I live in Italy I dont know it does not affect my other online games. Other than that MCLA is a really fast pace and alot of fun to play.


3 out of 5 stars great game for improvement   November 7, 2008

Now understand i have been a video race fan for years and i have to say without a doubt that this is the most highly realistic game next to GTA. It's got a little bit of everything. I feel it's a combination of Gran Turismo, GTA, and Need for Speed. I have to say as far as game play goes I dont think there is a game that can touch it. However it dose make me laugh that when you are in the lead in this game the losers talk to you as if they are still winners. get a grip, you lost you suck. Now for the seriously critical issues, stereotypes, I am sick and tired of the rap, techno rap and hip hop music as well as the classifying of latino and asian characters,as well as the stereotypical corn rows in the hair and the clothing that could fit a family of five, street racing in america derived from motorheads that drove camaros and mustangs that listened to Led Zeppelin, Foghat, and AC/DC. so why do the rest of us get caught up in a combination of music tracks that are so typically not racing music. I mean, come on give some of us a little bit of choice in our music selection. they did it with GTA 4, and i dont think I have come across a female racer in this game that did not have a latino accent. give a guy long hair, let there be blond american girl racing cars and let them jam to some pink floyd or grand funk railroad. as far as that goes I give it a -25 on a 10 scale for themeing. for gameplay i give it a 10 out of 10 plus 10.
