    MC3 is a pretty hardcore game as I noticed it. If you want less frustrating races, than go for Midnight Club:LA Remix.

    The loading time completely distroys this game. After waiting for almost two minutes I get frustrated and just play Hot Shots Golf. Yet another game ruined by corporate time constraints.

    Load Times, Load Times, Load Times!!! This game would have been almost perfect if it had half the load times that it has. The game is almost flawless besides that and the soundtrack could be a little better. I hop GTA does not have this kind of load times that this game has. The game is fantastic but the load times are way to long for a fun factor to be higher than a 7 and that was pretty Load Times, Load Times, Load Times!!!

I hop GTA does not have this kind of load times that this game has. The game is fantastic but the load times are way to long for a fun factor to be higher than a 7 and that was pretty generous I thought. As far as the control goes, it is very smooth and the graphics are great and very detailed. The customization is a plus too because that doesnt lack at all. This game should have been more polished off before release because of the ridicoulous load times. Expand

    If you read the back of the cover, it says that this is the fastest racing game ever. Not bloody likely is what i say. Although the ridiculous load times certainly could be faster.

Despite its slick look and having 3 cities to roam about, the races just feel too samey. Disappointing for a Rockstar game. Expand

    I played this at E3. IT was OK, nothing outstanding. Save your money for Burnout Legends, THAT game will kick your ass.

    The loading times almost ruin this game. Is not a game to miss, but you either play it with a save downloaded from the internet, or buy MC:LAR instead, because it shortens the loading times and is quite a similar game.

    Is it overly harsh to pound on a game for having dreadful loadtimes?... On the other hand, it's a good game deep, deep, deep down inside.
  2. Sure, it's still a mostly fun and sometimes exciting street racer, but when put up against competition like "Ridge Racer" and "Need for Speed Underground Rivals," it seems a lot more ordinary.

    Despite the load time issue, an occasional problem with being able to see certain cars and roadside objects that blend into the dark backgrounds, and a slightly reduced sense of speed overall, there's very little to criticize here.
