But...Need for spped Most Wanted is better. It's hard to say why but its simply more fun. Maybe its the presentation and finish, or just simply the racing but I enjoyed 2 days of NFS Most Wanted than I have 4 months of midnight club 3.

Don't get me wrong though, MC3 is still great, and for around £20 cheaper, you really can't go wrong. But if I had to choose, I'd go for NFS: MW. Unless of course, it's pimpin' you want. Like I said, MC3 is unrivalled in that area.

A great chepo title, but not great enough to be the best.

When i came to choosing a new racing game, it was a throw up between this and juiced. After reading other reviews i chose Midnight Club 3, and i know i've definately made the right choice.

The sense of speed on this game is awesome, and with a seemingly endless choice of races, this game kept me up all night. You can upgrade your car in almost any way you can think of, from nitro's down to the size of your rims ! The variety of vehicles is huge aswell, with always something new to try. You have loads of different categories of cars with their own individual race groups so you get to try a few ways to race, with either sheer brute force piledriving your way through, to nimble and quick speed zipping in and out of cars!

You have 3 cities to race on aswell, and although im still on the first one, it looks very promising. I must have played this game now for like 10hours solid and i've still got tonnes to do, so its definately value for money.

There's only the one drawback though with this game, and thats it can at times become a little repetitive as although there are many different courses to race, a lot of them share certain elements, like so far ive jumped off a rollrcoaster 10 times! But in a way there ive just pointed out another great part of the game, the jumps ! Can you imagine jumping off the end of a rollercoaster at 100mph? Let me tell you, you fly !!

To sum it all up, BUY THIS GAME, you wont be disappointed !


THE BEST RACING GAME ON THE PS2 SO FAR.   May 3, 2005

Well all I can say, that Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition is ace.
THE BEST STREET RACING GAME OUT IN THE SHOPS?

PROS: loads of cars
Great music, from hip hop to rap

CONS: all of the special moves are rubbish and make you lose races.
Very easy.

Well its much better than need 4 speed underground 2.
9/10

Firstly i have to admit that i have not played the previous Midnight Club games, i just liked the look of this one. I love driving games and there are many amazing ones out already (Gran Turismo 4, NFSU2, Burnout 3,Enthusia etc.) so what does this one have to offer? Well, the graphics are much better than i expected, obviously not surpassing those of the Gran Turismo series but for a rockstar game the graphics are very good. The reason i say this is because although rockstar create generally good games such as GTA and Red Dead Revolver, the frame rate etc is not fantastic but in this they are. The soundtrack is brilliant ranging from rock to hip-hop, enough to please most. The gameplay is actually suspiciously similar to NFSU2's so who stole from who and does it matter? No, the fact is if you love driving games you should get both, they are similar in many ways such as the free roaming im between races but they are also very different in the setting they are in and there is a broader scope in MC3, you even get to see sunlight where NFS kept us in the dark.
Sure enough if you are not a fan of driving then why read this? To give it a try perhaps? well go on then, it is very good. If you are new to the driving genre though this may prove a little bit overwhelming to you as it is very fast and you could find yourself crashing into traffic many times. The competition is tough out there and although this doesnt appear as a top competetor it secretly is but get it before the competition gets better because there are some incredible titles coming up for the end of this year, Burnout 4, NFS: Most Wanted etc. so to fill the time, this is well worth a buy.
