Midnight Club: Los Angeles (Platinum Hits)

This game landed in 2008 and it still holds up next to the likes of next-gen's (Xbox One) Forza 2 and Playstation 4's Driveclub. Like Forza Horizon 2, it has appreciable physics, deep car modifications including paint layers, wheels, custom body types, etc.This game has weather, and it has day/night cycles.The races are lovely, the cars are lovely, the graphics are, and the sound is.Ignore the storyline except to unlock things. It's pretty bad, but fun enough if you dig that; however, I reccomend turning off the people talking while you race, it's horrible. Set the sound to mostly atmosphere followed by dim engine sounds. The atmosphere sounds of this game are wonderful, the sound of L.A., the sound of rain, the sound of pavement, and heat.Every car has multiple views, including in cockpit and this is one of a very few games which allows you to even change the interior of the car. You won't see that on any next-gen Xbox One or PS4 game.The soundtrack is wonderful and varied, but you should turn if off, only to turn it on when you want to cruise, listen to the stereo. But during racing I just want pure race, and what happens is, you're following these cars, catching up, and it's extremely dramatic, Rockstar has always understood the use of blur and vibration, and you're watching that Chevy that you're creeping up on, but there's also a turn coming up.But you know your car so well, and the game connects you to it, so well, that you respond appropriately, nail the turn and flash past that guy, you look back and see him flounder to a pole, he didn't judge the turn as well as you did, and you never hit him.Allows for self-narrative, open-world gameplay. Excellent, time-tested game design. My nephews from ages of 10-14 still love this game, it's that good that old people like me and kids can both like it.

As advertised, Thanks!

Gameplay(racing):7/10Fun factor: 10/10Customization: 10/10Rebuy value: 6/10Game Physics: 5/10This game is pretty fun. If your looking for an arcade like game with a Need For Speed Underground feel, this is your game. The driving physics is really cliche. By that i mean you can do two wheel stands with a push of a button. I didnt like the fact that there was a rev limiter. I couldnt push the car a little over the Rev limit. Instead it kept me at 500 rpm before redline. I didnt expect this game to be any race simulator killer. Over all, this game is worth the buy for the current price. Rockstar is getting better and better. So looking forward for the new Midnight Club. I wouldnt be surprised if this game series took Forza Horizon and NFS off the charts.Comparing to Forza Horizon:Forza Horizion has the physics factor alot better. This game would come below it by 2 folds. But considering the openess of Midknight club, It beats Forza by 2 folds. Forza has tons of dead space during the drive. Compare that to Midknight club, you have tons of traffic, endless cars to weave in and out, and can go any where that has a road on it. Both game has their flaws which makes both cars even out on my list.

I absolutely love the graphics in this game and it is a load of fun to modify your vehicles and customize them. Beware though because you will find a an unforgiving AI programmed into the game. I had read other reviews before buying this game that stated Rockstar released a patch to make the game a little easier early on but I must say I still found some difficulty in it. Once you begin buidling up your rep and earning more money you can buy better cars that handle much better. I have been finding the game more forgiving as I have ranked up but it still tends to punish you harshly for 1 mistake Throw in the fact the computer controlled competition rarely makes a mistake and seems to drive flawlessly ...... when they do mess up they miraculously recover !! I do like a challenge and hate when games are too easy but Midnigh Club:LA tends to push you to play to near perfection. Overall it's a fun game and modifying cars in the shop is one of the "side things" to do that I love. I recommend buying it since it is one of the best racing games out there, just don't expect an easy time. If you can get through that aspect of the game you won't be disappointed. One final note, the Cops in this game are among the toughest to outrun in any game I've played so be advised: Learning your way around the streets is mandatory !!

WOW! That's all I can say. This game is absolutely fantastic! I had to pick my jaw up off the floor after playing it. The graphics are extremely stunning and game play with this series is better than ever. This is 10 times better than most of the other driving games out there. You can freely drive where ever you want, even when racing others you can go through alley ways, back yards, parking lots and just about anywhere you want to go and still effectively finish the race. I get so bored with linear driving games that just go straight while you hold down the gas pedal the entire time, but this game offers up a HUGE city map and allows you to go wherever you want to and race how and when you want to. We've had weeks of enjoyment just exploring the city without doing any racing. A must have for your driving game collection!

I had a yearning to play my old Midnight Club 2 for the original Xbox but we had sold it years ago. I didn't even know that they had made one for Xbox 360, and it was cheap, so I went for it. Some reviews said that it was too hard, or too arcade-y, and with not enough cars, but I think that it does great on all of those points. For not being a hard-core racing gamer, I didn't have too hard of a time winning easy, medium, and hard races. The hardest ones are obviously tough to beat but I haven't tried to much of that. This series isn't known for its realism, but that is part of the fun! And honestly, with the customization options, I have not been bored of any of the cars yet.Basically, this game is very fun to play. Not much story-wise, but the racing is in good old-fashioned Midnight Club style.

Good

This game gives me a lot of memories, I am glad that I found it :)

Muy buena entrega en tiempo y en forma, llego en excelente calidad, funcionando al 100%, muy buena atención al cliente y entregas rápidas.Muchas gracias.

Um dos melhores jogos de corrida da geração passada! O jogo é totalmente hardcore e envolve muita adrenalina, ação e velocidade num gráfico fiel a cidade de Los Angeles. Eu pedi esse jogo no Xbox uservoice e finalmente chegou na retrocompatibilidade.Show de bola!!!

Kann nur positives sagen,Das Spiel kam in der bestellten edition an und ist Abwärtskompatibel , sodass man es auch auf der Xbox One spielen kann.Lieferung hat zwar lange gedauert, das lange warten hat sich aber gelohnt ;)

Excellent game, even compared to newer games.
