  1. With its bargain price even people who aren't usually into racing games really have no reason to avoid REMIX. [May 2006, p.78]
  2. In all, the new stuff adds more than 30 percent to the top of the already full-featured title. [May 2006, p.97]
  3. The content on offer in Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition Remix is pretty great.
  4. It all adds up to a breakneck racing experience that offers a lot of fun (especially when you consider the online modes) for a little cash.

    The big new addition is Tokyo. Fortunately, the developers have made the city available by default right on the menu screen, so for those of you worried that you might have to play through the original three cities to get to the new stuff, worry not.

    If you've never play MC3 before, or if you're the best MC3 player in the world, you owe it to yourself to snag Remix, pimp out some rides, earn some phat cash and experience one of the best racers for the PlayStation 2. It's really that simple.
  7. 88
    An insanely fast, choatic and progressive racing game that betters the second in the series with more accessible racing, without losing its competitive edge.
  8. Twenty quid for dozens of modifiable cars, 4 well realised cities and plenty of online and offline races is a good deal in anyone's book, and especially ours.
  9. Definitely an advancement over the original release – not so much an improvement, mind you, just a bit more quantity at the same quality.
  10. 85
    Brimming with things that will irritate the hell out of you... Better than the first version, and at half the price. [Issue#139, p.72]
  11. The new content and cheaper price make Remix the definitive version of Midnight Club 3, but there's not enough new to draw in those who already took the plunge last year.
  12. The slight frame rate issues do grate, but Midnight Club 3 is so un-ashamedly arcade like - and refuses to even attempt to act like anything more – that it stands out as a true racing gem.
  13. The Japanese capital, reintroduced from "Midnight Club 2," is vibrant and busily populated with smashable motors and obstacles. [May 2006, p.92]
  14. While anyone who already owns the first release might find the budget price too much to pay for one new city and a few new vehicles, newcomers will find over twenty hours of offline play, and an online mode that could be played for months.
  15. Driving around Tokyo is something that some Midnight Club gamers will have never achieved thanks to the challenge that was Midnight Club 2, so it's rather helpful of Rockstar to package the city into Remix for all to enjoy from the off.
  16. If you are looking for a masterpiece of racing as a genre, Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition Remix probably isn't quite it, but it's plenty close, with open-ended free play where you can choose what to do freely.
  17. Still lagging far behind "Need for Speed," for modding and a fair stretch behind "Burnout" for sheer speed and crashiness, but for 20 quid you can't really go wrong. [May 2006, p.48]
  18. 75
    "Burnout 3: Takedown" aside, street racing doesn't come much finer.
  19. Unless you're a seriously hardcore Midnight Club fan, the Remix isn't really worth buying if you've already got MC3.

  1. Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition Remix is a masterpiece. It goes beyond what a street racing game should be. It has tons of cars, which allows tons of customization. They're all licensed and realistic. The cities(yes, there's four of them!) sprawl out with lots of streets and backroads. There is a Career Mode which lets you advance through the cities, and it has plenty to offer. Want to take a trip to Tokyo? There's a mode for that. Yes, it's called Tokyo Challenge. It's similar to Career Mode, but still has plenty to offer. Will you spend hours designing crazy rides or will you try to hit the top of every track across town? THe streets are yours for the taking!

    The cars look and sound great. The cities are nicely detailed, and the game delivers a fantastic sense of speed and danger. However, the trial-and-error racing system stops being fun long before you win the last race. Save yourself time and money, and just punch yourself in the face repeatedly. In the end, it's more enjoyable and less frustrating than playing this game. Full Review »
