4.0 out of 5 stars Played the game all the way through Here are my thoughts, February 8, 2006

This review is from: Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition (Video Game)

This game is a great arcade racing game. Realism is not part of the game and that is fine I really didn't want that. I have seen a lot of people however comparing it to NFSU2 and saying that it blows it away. I somewhat disagree. The only things this game had an advantage on NFSU2 was the licensed vehicles and mods you were able to make. The one thing I however loved about NFSU2 was driving my car around with the engine and sound effects turned up. I loved hearing that engine and the great sound effects. It really improved the game. However Midnight Club Dub Ed seemed to take their sound effects straight from the Grand Theft Auto series. This works fine in GTA but in a cusomizing racing game it is really a let down. I mean the sounds aren't even remotely close to sounding real. I really emphasized on this because it bothered me the most.

The next thing is the graphics. Once again not as sharp as NFSU2 but still good enough to be enjoyable. The details throughout the cities are nice touches. They could have improved this a little but it is good enough where I wouldn't want it any better due to loading times.

Control of the vehicles is fine. The only thing that bothers me is when you press the accelerator button it is full throttle or none. This bothered me because I couldn't cruise around at normal speeds with the manual transmission on. Like for instance I would drive in NFSU2 down some streets at normal speeds in sixth gear like you would really drive the car in real life. In this game you either go full speed or are coasting. It just doesn't feel real.

The gameplay however I believe is where this game does shine. It is challenging and rewarding. There are some races that took me quite some time to complete. Sometimes you will just have to put the controller down and walk away before you start throwing things. I can not tell you how many times I would be a turn away from the finish line in the lead and low and behold here comes a car, bus, or something else out of nowhere and smack! You get passed race over. This game is well worth the money and despite some drawbacks I do reccomend it and hope they come out with a new one.
One more thing. This game dogs on some of the American cars again. For instance the Z06 Corvette has better real life handling and speed times than many of the other cars in the game but you wouldn't know that from the game. It controls like a classic car and doesn't have the speed it should.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Fun, Great Eye-Candy, Cool Looking Cities & Cars - Buy This!!!, June 18, 2006

Recommended. I think this is one of my favorite Xbox games. It looks great driving fast through all these city streets, the detailed eye-candy scenery zooming by... The rain looks great, the snow looks great & makes a cool vortex trail behind yours & other vehicles... Different times of day are looking good here, I feel driving at midnight is the best. A lot of fun... The sounds are real cool too (did another reviewer complain?) You don't have to be Einstein to play this, it's very arcadish in a good way, but some events are pretty challenging. You've got so many cars here, big old classics & hella new cars as well including SUV's, plus a variety of motorcycles. Each vehicle type requires a different driving style (of course) & there a speacial weapon-attacks that vary according to vehicle type that add a fun, optional dimention to gameplay. Customization is extensive & off the hook. You can get a collection of very sweet rides to race in & you can take them onto Xbox Live... I am playing this game alot & I often use a "open all maps" cheat to just go ahead & race where ever I want, no problem (all games should have cheats). This is a beautiful looking, sounding & playing game, one the programmers should be proud of & one any Xbox owner should have.

5.0 out of 5 stars What Street Racing Should Be, July 24, 2005

A Kid's Review

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition (Video Game)

Midnight Club 3 smashes all of it's competition (by that I meen Need for Speed Underground 2) completly out of its path. I used to think NFSU2 was the best racing game ever until I got Midnight Club 3. It has an amazing car selection of licensed vehicles, and the best custimization I've ever seen. The cities are greatly designed and the soundtrack is the best video game soundtrack I've ever heard yet. If you love cars and motorcycles, custimization, and great street racing , or like them all even a little bit, Midnight Club 3 should be yours. After all, it's what street racing should be.
