Midnight Club: Los Angeles (Xbox 360)

Midnight Club Los Angeles-The Best Way to See Los Angeles is at 245mph... Every game has a learning curve. You probably don't realise it, simply because difficulty levels are usually easy to begin with, but there's always a point at the beginning of a game where you must take some time to adapt to a game. Whether it's easy or not depends on the game. Sometimes a game doesn't really adapt you to what could be coming ahead, while sometimes the opening curve is incredibly steep and then once you get there, a game can be incredibly satisfying as you jump over the curve and then proceed to complete the game. It's a case where the difficulty will push you around, ...  Read the complete review

Midnight Club: Los Angeles - Xbox 360 To start with you can just quick drive and go see what the fuss is all about but the game doesn't really start and you don't get the entire experience until you've unlocked all the cars and customisation options, not an easy prospect. To unlock all those parts you'll need to beat single player races, however a problem that I found is that the computer racers, the traffic and the police seem to always want to stop you; and mostly they do succeed. And even though you lose a lot, when you do you also gain points and rep...I think it kinda makes things a bit pointless and you have to invest too much ...  Read the complete review

I am completely at odds with this game. On one side, a lustrously presented sand box racer from the guys that are, "sand box" games. On the other, A game full of gimmicks and empty promises that is monumentally frustrating and utterly ridiculous at the same time. Now, Rockstar know how to spin a yarn or two and there is definitely some direct influence from that other game (I forget the name of it now...) they released earlier in the year. Wether that's a good or a bad thing depends entirely on how you like your in game charactures to develop (because it has to be said, the lead protagonist is one annoying mo-fo!).. The problem is just this. There doesn't ...  Read the complete review

Midnight Club LA is a racing title by Rockstar games who are well know for their popular Grand Theft Auto series. The story in this game is pretty lame and throwaway, you arrive in the city of Los Angeles, some gangsters hook you up with a car and you must race your socks off until you can claim the title of City champion but it's a long way to go! This game is absolutely huge and there is a mind numbing variety of events for you to take part in. As well as your basic lap races, time trials, checkpoint races you can do point to point red light races where you challenge an opponent to race from a set of lights to another, a freeway battle where you ...  Read the complete review

This is a review based on only about 30 minutes play of the game, so it may not be accurate. However, there is a reason I only played it that long. First impressions are everything and this gave a bad first impression. My first experience of Midnight Club when the series began was a bad one and I have never been interested in playing another one since. But, I had heard a few good things about this one and gave it a shot. ************************************************************ ***** Gameplay ***** ************************************************************ I wasn't particularly impressed by the gameplay.
