Midnight Club: LA Remix Keeps Aggressive Racing Fans Happy
Word from the underground has Midnight Club: LA Remix favored by fans of the series, and especially by die-hard followers of the extreme racing genre, and we tend to agree; this title is packed with action, looks and sounds great, and has tons of replayability. We think its features outweigh the grievances hands-down, and we’re excited to get our friends hooked on this title, too.
The city in which the game takes place is big even for games of this generation, and it’s rendered well. Cruising around look for trouble and destruction doesn’t get much better than this, especially when you’re actually walking around a crummy little town, or sitting on the subway, or commuting to work in your penguin suit.
There’s lots of ways to keep your supercharged racer cruising at speeds around 200 mph, including riding out an opponent’s slipstream in order to take advantage of a turbo boost. Lots of super-aggro characters spew a lot of trash at you from the speakers, so you’ll be adequately pumped up to compete, especially when you’re often restarting races due to unfortunate blow-aways in the middle to high-level difficulties. Racing fans be warned: this might well be your next nail-biting, compulsive pleasure.
