  1. Where other street racing games have been re-branded, re-built or have fallen by the wayside, Midnight Club: Los Angeles has been polished up to be the pinnacle of the series, and one of the most exciting arcade racing games of 2008.
  2. By sticking to its roots, Midnight Club Los Angeles may not be a master of innovation, but as one of the most polished, finely honed and adrenaline-filled racing games, you won't find any that do it better.
  3. The overwhelming impression Los Angeles leaves is very slick, but it's ultimately quite soulless. [Dec 2008, p.86]

    One of the best game ever in my opinion. Some times it hard to win at the beginning with a beginners car, but you still get your reputation, money and more advanced cars and more easy competitions until you finally win and win. The more you play the more fun it gets. If you are searching for a game where you always win, try Pure or Mario. But if you are looking for the real thing, this is the real thing! Expand

  3. This game was a huge disappointment. I paid 35 dollars and I got ripped off. The rubber band AI takes all the skill out of it. You can drive perfectly and screw the computers over but they will automatically catch up to you even if you drive perfectly. They also can drive perfectly and know every shortcut while cars just spawn and turn in the exact places to screw you over but that never happens to the computer. They automatically get faster cars, better turning, and handling, and it takes forever to unlock any upgrades so they always have a car advantage as well as driving. It it hard enough to beat green (easy) races, but when they make you race oranges to get cars and as missions it becomes obvious that they just want to make game impossible to artificially lengthen the game. Graphics aren't that good for console game and it is a repetitive grind where you have to play 2 hours to unlock anything each time. They also make too long of races and everything is a series where if you get screwed over by the 2nd or 3rd race you've just wasted 15 minutes racing for no reason. I own and have beaten the past 3 midnight clubs and enjoyed them. This one got the trash can after a couple days. Done with midnight club. Expand
