This game landed in 2008 and it still holds up next to the likes of next-gen's (Xbox One) Forza 2 and Playstation 4's Driveclub. Like Forza Horizon 2, it has appreciable physics, deep car modifications including paint layers, wheels, custom body types, etc.

This game has weather, and it has day/night cycles.

The races are lovely, the cars are lovely, the graphics are, and the sound is.

Ignore the storyline except to unlock things. It's pretty bad, but fun enough if you dig that; however, I reccomend turning off the people talking while you race, it's horrible. Set the sound to mostly atmosphere followed by dim engine sounds. The atmosphere sounds of this game are wonderful, the sound of L.A., the sound of rain, the sound of pavement, and heat.

Every car has multiple views, including in cockpit and this is one of a very few games which allows you to even change the interior of the car. You won't see that on any next-gen Xbox One or PS4 game.

The soundtrack is wonderful and varied, but you should turn if off, only to turn it on when you want to cruise, listen to the stereo. But during racing I just want pure race, and what happens is, you're following these cars, catching up, and it's extremely dramatic, Rockstar has always understood the use of blur and vibration, and you're watching that Chevy that you're creeping up on, but there's also a turn coming up.

But you know your car so well, and the game connects you to it, so well, that you respond appropriately, nail the turn and flash past that guy, you look back and see him flounder to a pole, he didn't judge the turn as well as you did, and you never hit him.

Allows for self-narrative, open-world gameplay. Excellent, time-tested game design. My nephews from ages of 10-14 still love this game, it's that good that old people like me and kids can both like it.

Midnight Club: Los Angeles (Platinum Hits)
I gave this as a gift during the holidays to my neighbors son who is 8 yrs old and it was and still is a hit! When kids don't tire of a game and play it all the time and you can see them enjoying it, it's worth every cent! And of course this was the best place with the best price and with my free prime delivery saved me gas money and the struggle of searching stores for what is a great game! Will purchase again when my nephew gets a little older. You don't have to worry about seeing and beating up prostitutes on the streets on this game which is something that I don't think any 8 year old should be playing.

Gameplay(racing):7/10
Fun factor: 10/10
Customization: 10/10
Rebuy value: 6/10
Game Physics: 5/10

This game is pretty fun. If your looking for an arcade like game with a Need For Speed Underground feel, this is your game. The driving physics is really cliche. By that i mean you can do two wheel stands with a push of a button. I didnt like the fact that there was a rev limiter. I couldnt push the car a little over the Rev limit. Instead it kept me at 500 rpm before redline. I didnt expect this game to be any race simulator killer. Over all, this game is worth the buy for the current price. Rockstar is getting better and better. So looking forward for the new Midnight Club. I wouldnt be surprised if this game series took Forza Horizon and NFS off the charts.

Comparing to Forza Horizon:
Forza Horizion has the physics factor alot better. This game would come below it by 2 folds. But considering the openess of Midknight club, It beats Forza by 2 folds. Forza has tons of dead space during the drive. Compare that to Midknight club, you have tons of traffic, endless cars to weave in and out, and can go any where that has a road on it. Both game has their flaws which makes both cars even out on my list.

Think of everything good in a street racing game, that's almost what this game has. The only things to bring up negatively are the police pursuits, people, minimap, and traffic. The police pursuits are nearly impossible to evade in a short time unless you get lucky, and if you simply don't run at all you only get a $100 fine, where if you do run you're looking at a couple grand being risked for hardly any reputation. The people the cutscenes are corny and ghetto. It doesn't bother me personally, but it may bother some. The minimap is too zoomed out when you're driving, unable to tell when you're supposed to make a sharp turn or keep going straight when you're driving over 200 Mph.

The only thing that made me give this game four stars and not five was the traffic. No matter how much practice you have or how well your car is tuned, traffic will be in your face. If you're going over 130 Mph on local streets, traffic can potentially spawn faster than your ability to see the traffic before you have time to react. This problem arises once you're going about 200 Mph or more on the highways. Be prepared to rage and restart races.

Just like every other rockstar game. Simple physics and wall glitches that could have been fixed by a simple update. But nope. Instead they push for the "complete edition". Which ironically, is very incomplete. UPDATE: if anyone wants to take this game off my hands, I will pay you to take it away. I tried to use it as a cup holder, but then rockstar charged me for the coaster dlc. This game is not worth it.

Um dos melhores jogos de corrida da geração passada! O jogo é totalmente hardcore e envolve muita adrenalina, ação e velocidade num gráfico fiel a cidade de Los Angeles. Eu pedi esse jogo no Xbox uservoice e finalmente chegou na retrocompatibilidade.
Show de bola!!!
