Midnight Club: Los Angeles - PS3 review - Pocket-lint

By Chris Pickering (pocket-lint.com)

Will this challenge Burnout Paradise?

Great looking, fantastic handling, lots to do

It's got all the hallmarks of a cracking racer, but the immense difficultly hinders it from taking the chequered flag

Midnight Club: Los Angeles

By David Scammell (dpadmagazine.com)

When it comes to street racing, there's always been an element of divide between the casuals and the hardcore. Pass the latter a copy of Need For Speed and they'll turn their nose up at its shoddy racing mechanics and unpolished gameplay, while the...

Midnight Club Los Angeles (PS3) review

By NowGamer ArchiveBot (nowgamer.com)

Driving through the witching hour and beyond

The best, fastest and most exhilarating ride you'll get for a long time. It's got all the options you'll want from a 'street' racer of this ilk, but it really doesn't need it. The real joy is in the toughness and thrill of the races. Simple.

Midnight Club: Los Angeles

By Aaron Thomas (gamespot.co.uk)

Midnight Club is fast, beautiful, and way too hard.

Cool-looking interface ; 16-player online with quite a few different modes ; Gorgeous rendition of the City of Angels ; Fast, exciting racing

Excessive difficulty hinders fun ; Not very original ; Interface favors form over function

Midnight Club: Los Angeles

By Tom Orry (videogamer.com)

Midnight Club: Los Angeles for PS3 Review - Midnight Club L.A. is slick, well designed and gives a more real sense of being in a crowded city. Even with Burnout Paradise on the market, you shouldn't miss Rockstar's latest.

Tonnes of fun

Can be very punishing

Midnight Club Los Angeles

By (x360magazine.com)

As ever, Midnight Club: LA offers players the chance to delve into a, dare we say it, underground world of street racing, taking in nominal (and customisable for multiplayer purposes) sets of checkpoints that can be tackled via the city's many...

You cant help but admire the artistry with which Rockstar's world has been created, but too many fundamental elements fall

Players step into the shoes of some shaven-headed nameless punk, fresh into town and looking to claim rides from racers who presumably live in its many fast-food car parks. Said rides come in a variety of flavours, both two-wheeled and four – a fact...

Midnight Club: Los Angeles (2008)

By Dave McComb (empireonline.com)

When console fans of a certain age gather and discuss the golden age of gaming, the most controversial issue is often how modern games are just too damned easy, and how the structure of contemporary classics such as GTA IV are too forgiving in...

Yet while it’s true that gamers in 2008 have it easy, crushingly difficult gameplay and uncannily intelligent rivals make Rockstar's latest venture an arduous challenge, even for racing veterans.

Midnight Club: Los Angeles Review

Need For Speed and PGR have been the kings of arcade racing for years and years, whilst midnight club has been in the shadows. But with Bizzarre now gon [...]

Gorgeous rendition of LA ; Good arcade handling model ; Nice variety in gameplay

Graphical Issues ; Story is quite weak ; Too hard for some

"Midnight Club: Los Angeles" is without doubt the racing release of 2008. Whilst it's not quite perfect, with a demanding level of difficulty even after the most recent patch, a fairly weak story, and some graphical issues, it does blow the competition...
