No one does it better, 10 Jul 2005
This game is one of the best racing games I've ever played. Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition is a racing game with the added bonus of being able to "mod" your car. The game is officialy licensed by DUB magazine which specialises in car products. The game is set out into three main modes. Arcade Mode where you can race without restrictions and Career Mode where you travel across three cities San Diego, Atlanta and Detroit. You are a street racer trying to make a name for yourself. One of the good things about the game is being able to start with a good car. The Career Mode is extremely fun largy due to the structure of it. You can go anywhere and choose which race to race first. Races differ from City Races for hard cold cash to specific club races meaning only one car type can race eg. Luxury Sedan. The variety on offer is another plus point for the game, the modding options are litreally endless from the colour of your rims to a nice spoiler on your boot. The X-Box Live mode is largely dissapointing not because it's not necisarily good but because there is never anyone online. The game also boasts 50+ cars and you can mod them all if you do so desire. The gameplay is a winner for Midnight Club 3. The handling is fantastic as you feel you are in control of your car at all times. One slight niggle is the dark surroundings crashing into a wall at 180mph isn't very fun. However as Midnight Club 3 has a gentle difficulty you can ease yourself to the front of the pack with a last second victory. Sweet. Plus Points
+ Endlessly fun racer
+ Loads of cars and options
+ Decent Soundtrack Minus Points
- Clunky menus
- Cops
- Graphics could be better Verdict
All in all Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition is one of the best games I've ever played. A lot of people will be put off by the gentle difficulty being a little to easy and it hasn't got the cars of say Gran Turismo. But that dosen't matter because Midnight Club 3 gets the key fundementals right and it's extremely fun. 10/10. Thankyou for reading. John Mitchell.

Utterly brilliant!, 20 Jun 2005
Firstly lets answer the answer the question on everyone lips, is it as good as, better, or worse than NFSU2, which is an exellent game itself.
Well, the answer, is yes. It is better. It's not like compairing GTA:San Andreas to the Heman game, but it is better.
Absolutly everything is better. In parts, only slightly better, but it's all better.
The handeling is better,the car selection,the customisation,the music, everything!
OK, so basically MC3 is set in 3 different cities: San Deigo, Atlanta, and Detroit. You play a newbee on the racing scene, and have to work your way up the ranks. The driving is very solid, but just a touch too twitchy. But there are certianly enough cars to keep you happy! Tuners, muscle, SUVs, Trucks, luxury sedans, super cars, choppers, sport bikes, everything you could dream of. There are Maclarens, lambroughini's, porches, everything that you've ever stopped to look at.
And the best thing is you have complete freedom to rip these cars apart, and then build the car of your dreams. Imagining 28inch spinning rims on a hummer lowered until it scrapes the floor, with pink flashing neon? Why not! The customisation options shove dynamite up NFS's ass and lock it in a submarine! There are limit less body, wheel, colour,vynal, everything options! Although sadly thuis game lacks the free-customise mode of NFS, so you cant just experement, cause it's gonna cost money.
The music selection is great, featuring an astounding selection of hip-hop, dance,drumnbass, rock and reggee.
My only problem with this game, is that it is very difficult, and sometimes unfair, but dont let that stop you from buying it! Class all-round!

Much better than midnight club 2, 16 April 2005
By A Customer
To say the least, i didn't like midnight club 2 at all and returned it for a refund after 2 days. So i wasn't expecting mc3 to be any different - how wrong i was!! This is a huge game, with a great deal of speed, licenced cars and a reasonable soundtrack. The online element is very good with lots of options and no lag (so far). Comparing this to the brilliant burnout 3, i have to admit this isn't quite as good, but it comes a close second. The only negative thing i have to say is that the graphics are not as good as other racers i.e. project gotham 2 and burnout 3. BUT graphics aren't everything, so if you want a very good arcade racer then check this out
