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:

Saleen S302 Extreme
Chevrolet Corvette Z06
Dodge Challenger Concept Car
Bikes
Kawasaki Ninja ZX14

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.

1 out of 5 stars Corrupt save file issue will ruin this game for you!   December 28, 2008
There is an issue with this game that will cause your save file to go corrupt at any point. You can be half way done with the game, turn off your system for a bit, come back to play, and your save file is no longer valid. I have emailed Rockstar about this and got no response. It's sad that a game that is so fun is also so flawed. Don't buy a game that you have to start over and over.


4 out of 5 stars Great game thats worth the money......   December 28, 2008
I am a fan of racing games that don't require a lot of tweaking the cars. This game offers a lot of customization but nothing that tweaks the performance of the car so much that it makes it hard to control. This is my first Midnight Club game and I can't seem to walk away from it for long periods. The graphics are great and so are the selection of cars.

Why didn't I give it 5 stars? There is always room to improve and nothing deserves a perfect rating in my opinion.




5 out of 5 stars Best Arcade Racer I've Ever Played   December 27, 2008
If you're looking for a racing simulator do not buy this game. But if you're looking for a fun arcade style racer that is ridiculously deep and has tons of replay value then this is your game. Midnight Club LA is awesome. It's easy to learn and fun to play from the get go. What makes it so much fun? The game captures the sensation of speed better than any game I've ever played and it has second to none, spot-on driving physics. Tuners handle turns and drift stupendously, rear-wheel drive muscle cars handle as they should, and the exotics scream down the streets and freeways while turning on dimes. You don't have the frustration of losing control of your car too easily like in racing simulators, what you have is a pure, speed focused, nimble driving system that lets you hug corners, weave in and out of city traffic like it's nobody's business, and reek havoc on the streets of LA. The game itself is deep. Long, varied career mode that forces you to master every car class, and the multiplayer only adds to the long list of things to do with this game. To give you an idea of how much there is to do in this open environment driving masterpiece, after 50 hours of playing, I'm only about 45% through the game. Midnight Club LA is a no-brainer. Pick it up today.


5 out of 5 stars Great.........   December 26, 2008
Midnight Club: Los Angeles was in fact brand new.. I recieved this game way faster than expected and I choose standard shipping.I highly recomend this sender in the future..Not one complaint...:-)


4 out of 5 stars Better than NFS Undercover!   December 8, 2008
I have to say this game is very entertaining, I found myself having the fun that I was expecting from undercover. I think one of the main options that stood out in this game for me was that the customization was player friendly. You have a vast majority of cars to choose from, and a fun kicker for me was that you could test drive cars before you had to buy them! The graphics in this game a very smooth; when I found out that rockstar used the same engine that they used from GTA, I realize why I was enjoying it so much. This game has a way better story line than undercover, and the cop chases feel more realistic than that of undercover. I enjoyed the inside the car camera view, and the ablility to customize the interior of your ride.

Many people have posed complaints of the AI racers in the game of having supernatural driving abilities, i.e. being too hard. But it just adds the intensity of the game, it's a blast riding at high speeds, dodging in and out of traffic, and driving through lawns and so on. This game definitely does not dissapoint; also the way the camera zooms out to view the whole map whenever you start a race was a very nice touch by rockstar.

If you were dissapointed by undercover as I was, pick up midnight club, for rockstar stood true to what gamers really expect from next gen video games.
