 Sam (11) says : "Buy it!" January 4, 2009
When this game arrived I instantly knew that this game would be great value for money.Boy was I right!Even when you have achieved the main goal(U.S Champ)there's still loads more to do.(i.e.car clubs)The graphics are slick,the cars are fab and the realism is pure bliss!
Although I didn't use the online feature,you can connect with up to 7,yes 7 players from around the world online!
There are 3 cities to race in:San Diego,then Atlanta and finally Detroit. All are well brought to life. This is the youngest PEGI Rockstar game I know,(12+) so it's great for those not old enough for a GTA...like me!
Basically,if you don't buy,you're missing out on one heck of a game.
An absolute MUST HAVE for any racing game completist! December 3, 2008
T. Jackson
If, like me, your choice of game genre is racing (personally, it's the ONLY genre I play... not that I'm obsessed!) then you need to have this game in your life. Yes, it really is that good.
With a huge of amount of game time needed to progress through this game, especially for the completist who just haaaas to go back and win every...single...race...even...if...they've...already...unlocked...the...next...level (I know I'm not the only one), you never get bored. By the time you think you've got to grips with the driving style for your current vehicle and completed all your events with it, you need to change to a new category (modded imports, luxury sedans, classic American muscle cars, prestige cars, exotics and super cars, trucks, SUVs, choppers, racing bikes, they're all in here) to take on a new set of challenges and it keeps the gameplay in Dub Edition challenging and fresh throughout. It's almost like a multitude of driving games in a single environment (Toca fans will probably appreciate that touch).
The cities are large enough to take a while to learn so you don't get bored of free roaming too soon - think NFS Most Wanted kind of size for each city, with shortcuts sometimes tricky to spot (useful tip : you quickly find them by watching your opponents racing lines in challenges) and the difficulty levels steadily, but subtly increasing this game will keep you on your toes even when you think you've mastered it.
This is a welcome relief to any hardcore racers out there. If you love sim racers, this is a really amusing departure and a nice way to take a break from the pure skill and accuracy needed for games like Toca3 and GT4. It gives you time to relax back into the pure fun of ridiculously high speed madness through urban settings and unrealistic physics, but it doesn't do it in a purely basic point and powerslide way like the Burnout series, it still needs some driving precision as American muscle cars oversteer stupidly, but have massive power and imports can dive through the narrowest of gaps with pinpoint handling but lack the top-end grunt.
If you're a big fan of the customising mods in the Need For Speed games (definitely Most Wanted and especially Carbon's crazy level of modding), then you're going to fall in love with this game too. The mods are much more limited in some areas (fewer actual bodykits available and they seem to take longer to unlock), but in other areas this is made up in spades by the level of detail you can go into. If you want an exact shade of a colour it has full RGB slider control to create the perfect match - much better than NFS Carbon in that feature.
One of my most beautiful looking modded cars is an old Chevy with cartoonish fat fat fat spoked rims (and 1 inch tyre profiles), dropped suspension all round pro-street style, massive intakes sticking out of the bonnet, roof chop, with chrome everywhere, in a truly Miami metallic surf blue and white flames - neons all round and colour-coded nitro exhaust flames. One of the really nice little finishing touches is the ability to personalise things like window graphics and your number plate (both the US state's plate from different decades, AND your lettering/numbering). The bikes allow you to mod the rider too, with different riders to choose from and various outfits for them to wear to get the look you're after.
Of course it's really all about the driving, and that's always a pleasure. Then when your head's too fried to deal with the blur of nitrous-injected acceleration through traffic and oncoming trams, you can always escape back to more civilised mania like racing 24 hour realtime endurance races in a Pescarolo around Le Sarthe in Gran Turismo ;)
In summary: If you're an arcader fan you'll like the silly arcade feel to much of the game, and the slightly harder challenge of needing some actual skill to win every race. If you're a sim fan you'll like the silly distraction from real driving styles, but appreciate that it doesn't feel like it's patronising your abilities. A real all-rounder then, and from one racing game nutter to another - if you don't already have this in your collection, you're missing out on a top notch fun game.
I'd recommend this as one of the top ten racers I've played (and believe me, I've been playing racers since I started programming them in BASIC on a Vic20 - and that's way before even Pole Position hit the arcades), so it's no small honour. Buy it, love it, but don't forget there's a real world out there with people in it, because you just may get lost in this game :)
 Best street racing game around. April 15, 2006

This is a great game. It has great cars, amzing gameplay, great customization, great graphics and it poses a real challenge.
So the cars, there are so many and all costomizable in almost every way you could think of. They are sorted into catagories, SUVs/Trucks, Exotics, Muscle Cars etc. and are then sorted into further catagories of performence, Class D, Class E etc. They all have different performence levels and these can be upgraded in the garage, you can change the engine core, the brakes etc. and can even inject your ride with nitrous to give it a boost of insane speed. The only dissapointment in this catergory is that you cant costomize the inside of your car, bummer.
The gameplay is immense. The A.I are acctually a challenge but they are not the sort of drive you nuts cos you can never beat them A.I, they are more of the it is a challenge so that it's not boring A.I. The sense of speed in this game is out of this world, especially when you hit the nitrous and the car handling is so cool, you have to be able to control the car, it's not like it's on rails or anything, also the A.I make mistakes as well so they are not perfect and it adds a sense of realism to the game. New to this game are the special modes, there are three, Zone, Roar and Agro. In zone you slow down time for a few secs to navigate round traffic, or to make sharp corners. In Roar you send out a blast from your engine so that traffic scatters, it has some amusing effects. And finally (and the most fun) Agro. This lets you make your ride indestructible, you can even send trucks and busses flying!! WOW!! But take note each abillity can only be performed in a certain class of vhecle.
Another classic part of the game that puts it ahead of the competition is that it is totally open roaming, no confined tracks, B-E-A-utiful.
Now the bad bits. The music, it sucks, engough said. And the traffic of the inoccent bystanders goes at about 30 MPH, that sucks.
To sum up this is the best street racing game, or maybe even the best racing game out for PS2, only the music and traffic speed let it down, but i would still say buy this game over any need for speed games!!!!!!!!
great but... March 9, 2006

Firstly, Midnight club 3 is a great game in its own right. The sense of speed is fantastic, multiplayer is competitive and exciting, carrer mode has a balanced difficulty curve and the cars look fantastic. Customisation is (almost) limitless- no other racing game can give more varied customisation options and it will last you for a good while.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.
WOW ! What a game ! June 27, 2005

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 !
