Well let me just say that i played almost all the midnight club series but this i have to say is the hardest of the bunch. I'm gonna give you my candid opinion on this game, it really gets frustrating in some races. Especially when your driving in the streets of L.A., so much traffic lol but yeah besides that the difficulty can get easy threw very hard that's the key about Midnight Club there are different types of races to choose from, like green races are the easiest and red races are the hardest. The Harder races unlock more parts and give you more money, the A.I. in this game can get annoying at times but its really nothing to complain about. The special abilities come back to the series once again to help you in those crazy times in races and let me tell you they work cause i use them a lot, i am not gonna explain all of them but theirs one that's called "roar" my favorite, it blows everyone away that's around you . The graphics are par with some of the other race games out there on the shelves but they could have done better in some parts of the game but i do love how rockstar captured the city, even doe they made everything seem real close lol (I live in L.A.), the selection of cars is great, nice variety too, muscle cars threw sports bikes etc. The customization is amazing, you can spent hours there just pimping up your ride and the story is really bland if you ask me but really which racing game story isn't? so yea the online multiplayer is where this games shines, everything is fun especially the cruising, meet a bunch of people from the get go to wager or challenge anybody you meet. so yea hope y'all give this game a try its really great i mean great great if your a hardcore racer this is the game to pick, nothing more to say peace!!!!.
