5.0 out of 5 stars Current Best Racer on PSP, November 12, 2008

This review is from: Midnight Club: LA Remix (Video Game)

While the latest PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of Midnight Club have gotten the most attention, this LA Remix version will please PSP fans looking for some hot, wild racing on the go.

This version in fact adds a second city, Tokyo, which you unlock in career mode after mastering LA.

LA Remix also has ad-hoc wireless racing for up to four players.

In short, at $40, this version of MC probably gives you the most bang for your buck.

And did I mention how good the game looks on the PSP's bright little screen? Beautiful -- and the cars handle wonderfully as well.

What cars are here? Tuners including a Pontiac Solstice and Chevy Cobalt SS Supercharged. Muscle cars past and present, like a '69 Mustang Boss 302, a '70 General Lee, and the new Camaro. Plus exotics like the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster, the Ford GT and Shelby Cobra, a brace of Lambos, and a Saleen S7. No Ferraris or Bugattis, unfortunately...

There are shortcuts and multiple routes... cop chases and interference... wild power-ups and air time... and your car takes damage -- too much, and the race is over!

The long and short is -- there's tons of fun for PSP fans here. Highly recommended!

This review is from: Midnight Club: LA Remix (Video Game)

Midnight Club: LA Remix is the best racing game on the PSP. Even better than the new Gran Turismo game on PSP. Midnight Club: LA Remix is also perfect even if you're not that big of a racing game fan as much as it is perfect for racing game fans.

There are so many things to do on Midnight Club: LA Remix.
- Free Roam around 2 Huge Maps of Los Angeles, CA, USA and Tokyo, Japan.
- Tons and tons of Exterior Customization from tons of body parts, rims, license plates, etc.
- Tons and tons of Interior Customization from tons of seats, steering wheels, gauges, etc.
- A 24 Hour Day/Night cycle, so the time of day is constantly changing
- Weather effects from clear and sunny weather to cloudy weather, rain, etc.
- A huge ammount of cars in all different types from Tuners, Muscle cars, Exotics, etc.
- There are also Motorcycles where you can pull wheelies and do stoppies, with tons of customization like the cars.
- All of the Cars and Motorcycles are real life, licensed vehicles like Lamborghini, Kawasaki, Ford, Chevrolet, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, and more.
- Dynamic Police that chase you if you run a right light or go past the speed limit. You can then also lose the cops. However, you can then also get pulled over and arrested.
- More customization like a vinyl editior (like in Forza 2) where you can create any image and overal vinyl you want using various shapes, letters, and numbers. Example like a "The Dark Knight" car, the McDonalds logo, etc.

So, if you are a racing game fan or not, whoever you are, if you have a PSP get Midnight Club: LA Remix!

4.0 out of 5 stars more than a port, November 16, 2008

This review is from: Midnight Club: LA Remix (Video Game)

I rented this to see if it was worthy of buying. I liked the long list of cars to choose from in MC:Dub Edition for the PSP. But the gameplay wasn't all there. The framerate didn't flow as well as I would like it. I would rather have better driving than large driving environments because after all, that is where the fun is in these types of games.
That's why I think this game tops because the driving is so fluid and you can see a mark difference between both games.
Some people choose driving games based on which licensed vehicles are included. The list in this game is somewhat limited but they do a good job of mixing past and present tuner, luxury, and muscle cars. Not to mention a few sport bikes. You get 2 great cities as your backdrop so that's pretty darn sweet in it's own right. I really like the fact that all times of day are included. In previous MC games, it was only night time, dusk, and dawn. So this is a welcomed edition for me. My only gripe is the loading time. But considering what you get once it's loaded, it's hard to complain. Especially since you can free roam in CRUISE when you are in career mode. I also want to mention the other games in arcade mode like capture the flag which could be pretty fun. All in all, a decent title, you should check it out.
