The truth is that MC3 is so different from all other racers that it can coexist nicely even with next-gen games. Surprisingly, the game is still as fun as ever. I've been playing a lot of Burnout Revenge on the 360 and wondered how dated MC3 would look. A year later, putting the game in again and being able to port all my existing work (cars, upgrades, garage, etc) I was hesitant to see how it had aged. Needless to say, at the time, there seemed to be no other racer that could compete with MC3:DUB Edition. Hours could be spent playing with friends in a living room running race after race. From the weight of the cars, the hand-brake mechanism, the "special moves", the hydraulics everything was perfect. There were Rockstar icons to find, upgrades galore to try and a racing engine that was simply prefect.
We were given three complete cities to race in and countless challenges, tournaments and rivals to beat. Midnight Club 3 gave us an epic single player mode which, with its increasing difficulty, could last the average gamer anywhere between 20 to 50 hours to complete. We got authentic cities, cars, parts and manufacturers, authentic voice-overs and arcade racing goodness. There were no celebrity models, no corny voice-overs and no in-your-face product placement. We not only got to play in the Midnight Club environment with real-world cars, but the DUB moniker added weight to its credibility as well.
One of the things that Rockstar San Diego's Midnight Club 3 had going for it a year ago was authenticity. How does the Midnight Club 3 formula hold up against those titles? And is the new content enough to warrant a re-purchase? Read on to find out. We saw the release of Burnout Revenge on consoles as well as the advent of the next-gen racing titles: PGR3 and Need for Speed: Most Wanted. While time may be kinder on platformers and pure action titles, the competition among racing titles is heated and a lot can change in a year. Such was the case with the Metal Gear Solid 3, Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition, and now, Midnight Club 3. With its follow-up in Midnight Club: Los Angeles, nothing was diminished but it just didn’t seem to harness the lightning in the bottle that its predecessor did.It seems that as of late, publishers and developers alike have taken the release of Greatest Hits and Platinum Hits packages as an opportunity to add new content and tweak various issues on quasi-classic games.
MIDNIGHT CLUB 3 DUB EDITION REMIX ESCALADE SERIES
It’s always exciting to play a game that shows all the best the series has to offer-and Midnight Club 3 DUB Edition Remix is clearly the high-point of this one. And, that being mentioned, the inspiration of this game that carried over to the GTA series in IV and V is exciting to see. That being said, as opposed to specified driving mechanics like something you might encounter in the Forza or Gran Turismo series, you find in this game the ability to crash into oncoming vehicles(knocking them out of the way), or even slowing down time to quickly maneuver a difficult situation (a special move further popularized by Franklin in GTA V). Admittedly, that series would toe the line of realism and arcade, but Midnight Club 3 was a predecessor, and more inspired by games of the time like the very popular Burnout series. That being said, Need for Speed was critical in a change of the genre that strayed from fully arcade racers, and instead blended the likes of realism and racing to separate itself.
MIDNIGHT CLUB 3 DUB EDITION REMIX ESCALADE PS2
Midnight Club 3 was initially released earlier in the same year of Need for Speed: Most Wanted-which debuted on both the PS2 and Xbox and their next console generation with the Xbox 360 and PS3. All the places have their own feel and with an amazing soundtrack including over 120 songs-there is no shortage of content in this game. With a stunning mix of open-world clearly inspired by its publisher’s even more popular series of Grand Theft Auto-Midnight Club 3 blends high-octane races including all manner of souped-up cars, SUVs, and motorcycles nearly infinite customization of all its vehicles while also carrying you through four main playable fully-realized open world areas of Atlanta, Detroit, San Diego and, specific to the Remix version, Tokyo.
