    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.

    Hit your stride and the confluence of hard-won experience, favourite ride and the unmistakable kick of nitrous will see you threading through rush-hour traffic at speeds bystanders will scarcely believe possible. [Dec 2008, p.102]

    A very challenging but rewarding game.

    "Burnout"'s more 'Hollywood', but MC:LA's the purer arcade racer. [Dec 2008, p.76]

    If you can grit your teeth and win races, you'll appreciate the digitized city of LA.

    Sure, you may enjoy the challenge of this game and the time you must invest to achieve the goals set before you, but at the end of the day this game is frustrating from start to finish.

    I really enjoy the look and feel of Midnight Club: Los Angeles, and there's a good amount of content here, but the severe difficulty level makes it all much harder to appreciate. It's punishing, but if you're up for it, there are some sights worth seeing here.

    My all time favourite racing game was the original Need for Speed Most Wanted. But this might actually be better. Every racing game on PS4My all time favourite racing game was the original Need for Speed Most Wanted. But this might actually be better. Every racing game on PS4 sucks. So I got this for my PS3. They should remaster this game!… Expand

    There are so much challenge missions. Some missions are extremely trash. Graphics are nice but game is so long. Some missions repeats itself 3-4 times

    I feel like the only one who hates this game. The physics in these games are horrible. One single small crash and your car will be flying
