Midnight Club: Los Angeles

[ExplosiveGoats]

Did anyone get it yesterday, and how is it?

 

Hopefully I should be able to get it by Saturday. :)

 

Got it yesterday and it is awesome! Loads of cars, and customization is awesome. Really good game.

[Eudemon]

Loads of cars? There's 44 + 3 bikes iirc.

[ExplosiveGoats]

That's quite a lot imo, since the map is kind of small.

[TimBud]

There are hardly any cars!

I'm betting that R* are really going to milk us for our M$ points on this one. i can see alot of DLC's coming.

[ShadowGT]

So the game was a failure when compared to MC:3 Dub Edition?

 

I'm still buying it to make a '96 Impala SS though. :)

 

Way ahead of ya mate :D

& my other ride a 240SX

 

 

[Eudemon]

Very clean 240SX you got there Shadow!

 

BTW the races in this game are hard on Hard and Hardest (makes sense) but check this win out I had early in on in the game, I use manual so was a bit slow in downshifting and the car took it's time to get upto speed and a car passed me so I slipped in behind him and managed to hit the speed boost just at the right time! :D

[ShadowGT]

haha thanks :D She's my main career car at the moment but i have modified her a little but still retained the sleeper look.

 

*EDIT* Thats MY 240SX Diablo LOL

 

[zo6dude]

this looks better than MC3

[ShadowGT]

Just noticed the license plate on diablo's car. Very Fanboyish of you lol XD :D

[Eudemon]

Yeah sorry Shadow, I scrolled down quick and saw KTF so thought it was him. And regarding the plate, well it had to be done! :D

[me™]

I seriously hope this comes out for the PC.

I tried MC3 on my Xbox, and one little thing put me off. The throttle and brake. They used the analogue triggers, but the throttle and brake weren't analogue. If you pulled the trigger half-way or more, they were full on, less than half-way, full off.

I just couldn't play it for long. I did make a lovely '57 Chevy Bel Air hot rod in it though.:D

 

 

I do have GTA IV PC pre-ordered though, so that should keep me busy while I wait. With me playing, it'll be like the next Carmageddon. :lol:

[ShadowGT]

That car reminds me of this one. My favorite 94-96 Impala in the world!

 

 

Theres a hood for the Impala that is very similar to the one in your pic.

[Shy Guy]

I don't like the 96 Impala, I'm getting a 70 Challenger instead(assuming they are both in the same class, which I think is C) =P

[Eudemon]

I think I just came across the biggest example of cheating by the computer in this game, I was in a race with quite a lead when I'm thrashing along the freeway at 177mph, quick look at the map and it shows I'm heading off at the next junction, so go across to get ready where the road then decides to split in 2 so I leave a good amount of space only for a car to turn for no reason hit me into the divider and put me on the wrong side of the junction. Meaning I had to 180 and jump back on the junction.

 

This game is difficult that's for sure but not because of the opponents but because of what the CPU throws at you literally to help them win. lol

[t.]

Sounds on par with the NFS series bloody catch up system, so no matter how well you drive you still won't establish any kind of lead. It was often easier to sit in second then overtake them at the end as they had no time left to use catch up.

 

I'm not sure I'm ready for the stress of this game. *goes back to gambling on Fable*

[Nipper]

Yea, the AI can be pretty frustrating at times, making nonsensical movements to let a lead racer get further ahead. Most annoying one so far was when an AI Gallardo pressed on the NOS then jumped into the brakes for no real reason and knocking me flying into oncoming highway traffic. Fun times, not!

[Shy Guy]

I just got this game yesterday, good game, pretty hard though, I started with a 240, got the Camaro, just unlocked the group 2 cars and might buy a Challenger for my main career car...

 

although I thought it would be amazing, it wasn't =( but its a great game nontheless

[zo6dude]

I'm probably gonna get a PS3 soon and get this because it looks pretty sick!! my friend wants an Xbox 360 and thsi game and i'm trying to convince him to get a PS3 lke me o we can cruise and race together and my other friend is getting o his 360 soon so can someone list all the cars and bikes in the game?

[zo6dude]

thank u kind sir

[zo6dude]

can someone list all the starter cars? i'd like to konw what me and my 2 friends getting this game have to choose from and i convinced my friend to buy a PS3 over a 360 so we could race and cruise!

[Eudemon]

There's only 3.

 

* VW Golf GTi (MK I)

* VW Scirocco

* Nissan 240SX

[zo6dude]

that sucks! i'll get the 240

[Shy Guy]

They should have put a Datsun 280Z as a starter car...

[iBilo]

They needed a Daihastu Materia! I could have made the perfect pimpmobile.

 

I should have money so I'll order this for X360, something that might pull me back to X360 instead of PC gaming.

[Nige]

Guys guess what I found ????? .....

A big Los Angeles Kings billboard :thumbsup:.

 

Sorry I got a bit excited when I saw it after all the NHL/LA Kings couldn't buy this publicity :). I might just wear my LA Kings jersey with pride now and people might actually know who they are :thumbsup:.

 

Anyway I now own 3 cars:

 

Datsun 250ZX

VW 'Rocco

SS Camaro

 

I have yet to find any pink slip races yet though .......
