Midnight Club 3 : DUB Edition (PSP)

Product Information

Upon defeating Ceasar in his first encounter, the player scores a challenge from the By Invitation Only Exotic Car Club. Just like in the console game, there are only degrees of performance that you have full control over instead of having give-and-take on various parts and upgrades that you might see in reality (although, for the money that you're putting in for upgrades at this level, it's pretty much be pure "take" anyway), but you still have a wide range of manufacturers to pick from for your parts. Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition is an open world racing video game and the first game in the series to include car modification, both visual and performance.

There are still issues that I have with the game -- its framerate holds it back from being perfect, and as an exact port of a game many street racers already burned through, there's not much to get back behind the wheel for -- but the difference between 70 seconds of loadtime and 7 seconds of loadtime (still a substantial wait for a handheld game) would have been the difference between a clunker and a keeper. They should be playable anytime you're on the road, and the portable experience of playing when you have a free moment is one of the main attractions of having games to go. Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition is a 2005 racing video game developed by Rockstar San Diego and published by Rockstar Games.

The PSP in your hands melts away and you’re transformed into the drivers’ seat of whatever ride you choose. Amazingly, these are aspects that I was actually able to get over -- play it for a couple of hours, and might get to hardly notice the chugging.

At first, I was winning a lot of races by five seconds, but in later races I was lucky if I was winning by more than a half a second, even when driving without fault. Why, for example, does the game have to load track and traffic data for a waypoint race when completely random map points would have been just as fun to race around? S. automobile industry, and San Diego for its influence on the development of street racing culture. Traffic also sometimes has an odd issue where cars occasionally stutter and pause when they come to a turn, as if they're loading the next direction, but you usually only see this when they're running diagonal to your path, and the stuttering isn't enough to make the difference between a T-bone wreck and a near miss.

Sure, there are some framerate issues at times, but you’ll forgive that because you can race through three massive cities. But there's also a healthy degree of custom tuning that you can do for the controls to get them exactly the way you like them. I don’t think I ever even needed to look at the speedometer to tell how fast I was going because I could pretty accurately gauge it just by the motions on the screen. You've read gripes that this or that is underpowered, and that we're already seeing the highest heights that the system will hit with the launch games because bottlenecks clip its wings. And while I'm no tech expert, a few experiments with the game engine show that a much better game could have been plenty possible, if only the game had been given more time and a more focused approach to the port.

Even the menus take their dear, sweet time to load, and forget about the FMV -- having to reload the game just to take a quick refresher glance at the cinematic of one 15-second tutorial clip is like a rule across your knuckles when you're trying to learn. Tuners, Sport Bikes, Exotics, the Lexus SC430 and Mercedes Benz SL 500 (R230) (along with its higher-performance AMG variant, the SL 55) get "Zone" (a form of bullet time which allows for more precise handling at high speeds), Trucks/SUVs and Luxury Cars get "Agro" (which allows the vehicle to plow through traffic and other obstacles without taking damage or slowing down), and Muscle Cars and Choppers get "Roar" (the only offensive ability, it launches a sonic wave that blows away any vehicles in its path). Every button can be mapped to any function in the game, so if you're used to the Xbox version of MC3, you can toss the gas and brakes up on the triggers (and if you really feel like it, you can go with digital steering instead of the analog controller.The PlayStation Portable release received a "Platinum" sales award from the Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA), [38] indicating sales of at least 300,000 copies in the United Kingdom.

He later points to a Lamborghini Murciélago and says it is the prize to whatever car club turns out the best street racer. Why can't I set a point in Cruise mode and challenge everybody hooked up wirelessly to race there and back? Thank the Lloyd that the game doesn't require you to reload the game every time you have to restart a specific race -- now why can't the entire game just cruise along and move quick from task to task just like that? It took me a long, long time to warm to this PSP game at all; I wouldn't expect most other gamers to give it that much time.Musical artists found in the game include numerous Army of the Pharaohs members, The Game, Paul Wall, T.

As with ATV Off-Road Fury on PSP, console-quality graphics are something you get used to surprisingly fast, and unless the game does something special, it might not stand out even if it is visually stunning.
