Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition is a fairly good game and a really really fun game. You buy cars, customize them and race around one of three cities jumping over rooftops and knocking cars to left and right should you drive a big one yourself. It's basically this awesomely arcadeish-yet-deep version of Need for Speed Underground that doesn't make you feel like a complete whore for playing it. In all fairness, Midnight Club 2 did a lot of the things NFSUG does several years ago, but I wager most of you peeps missed that ol' gem.

An annoying bug prevents custom soundtracks from being used in the Xbox version of the game, so what luck then that the licensed soundtrack is pretty decent if you set it to "rock" or if you're just one of those hip hop people the world is currently wrapped around. Xbox Live play works great, however, and racing your friends in your own tricked out cars is a lot more fun than trying to impress the AI opponents with your new paint job. They have this way of not caring since they're... well, AI opponents. That said, the single player career mode is also tons of fun as it turns into a collectathon not unlike something like an RPG when you just gotta do that next race because you've almost got enough cash to buy that next car. Addictive is the word, I believe, and on that topic I best get back to it.
