Midnight Club: Los Angeles - Try it


Video games have come a long way, now on the streets for fast speed racing games. The brainchild of Rockstar Games, Midnight Club Los Angeles includes arcade racing with a variety of smart vehicles like tuners, trucks, muscle cars and motorcycles. With a little story into it, you can now get to play as a new guy looking to race around the streets of Los Angeles. The game has a day/night cycle which means you are no longer stuck racing at one point of time during your playtime. The city of Angels looks fantastic. The action is fast. Landmarks are clear and easily recognizable. In all, your racing experience is simply terrific.

Once you get into the game, you start racing and making lots of money. In most of the racing games, all you do is drive around the city looking for people to race. You can identify them on your map or radar. Or you can accept challenges and missions through your text messages. Remember one thing, more races means more money and higher rep. Winning the fist place in a race is important as it opens for you new challenges and more races along with new vehicles. You've got other play options as well. There are time trials, checkpoint and freeway races around the city. There is a police presence. Everytime you race out of the way, it will chase you down.

When you finish a race, you get money as well as higher rep. There are missions where you get money after damaging target vehicles and delivering cars across LA in a very short span of time. The control keys in the game are simple and easy to handle. You can easily handle tuners. However, muscle cars and motorcycles are faster and consequently more difficult to handle. Practice is all you need to become a better racer in LA streets.

Midnight Club Los Angeles can be a bit frustrating as the game involves uneven and excessive difficulty. There are color-coded races with easy, medium and hard playing options. But sometimes, even easy races can become as challenging as the hard ones. Even minor scrapes with cars, walls or fences can send your car spinning. Besides, parked cars don't have their lights on, which can be really hazardous at times. But then, where's the fun without risks and challenges? Midnight Club Los Angeles brings all the fun and thrill of racing to you.
