The one really good thing about youtube is its ability to every once in a while drag something out of the blue that really interested you years ago. Before there was Forza and my shift over to PC, there were only a few racing games besides Gran Turismo which really held my attention. One of them was this game right here.
Midnight Club was the culmination of everything that was so right and oh so wrong about car customization in the late 90’s and early 00’s. Rockstar would eventually release Midnight Club 3, which would culminate in the remix edition which I also spent too much time on. I try to forget about Midnight Club: LA...
This game would see me sink over a thousand hours into it as I began to really find my interests in the automotive world. Combining what seemed to be limitless customization, large maps with online multiplayer (GOD I LOVED MY FAT PS2) as well as a fully fleshed out soundtrack that had a bit of something for everyone and you had a well rounded package that anyone could get into. Over a decade later and still all I have are fond memories and faceless names of the people I encountered in the countless online session I joined.
For those that have played it and want to share in my wave of nostalgia as well, I will start you off with a little push.

Oh, the nostalgia!
I still have MC3: DUB Edition Remix for the old Xbox. Pulled it out a couple months ago when my cousins were over. Still a fun game.
Your avatar is taking me back, too.

This is hands down the best game soundtrack ever! How many songs did remix have on it? Oh the memories riding my Chopper and using the “Roar” feature.

Owned the original and beat it (but I needed a Pelican cheater disk to unlock all the cars for arcade mode including the Smuggler’s Run vehicle.) Played bits and pieces of 2, online mode was broken with cheaters and spammers. Owned 3 and sunk hundreds of hours into it to 100% the darn thing, but owning the Remix would be sweet AF.

There were 99 in the regular DUB edition with 25 more added in the remix.

Ok, LA wasn’t THAT bad but I just felt like it lacked something compared to its predecessors.

Yeah, I found that all the Putt Putt games were on Steam so I bought them all. I remember what took me so long to finish when I was little now takes me about 5 minutes.

Brutal difficulty?

Maybe, there is just some x factor that was lost in the transition from one console to the other. At least there is still something left of Midnight Club, scratch a little bit at the surface of GTA V and you might see a little bit of midnight club in there. The only thing really missing is the decal editors.

That’s a big reason why I even picked up GTA V in the first place. It’s basically GTA 4 combined with Midnight Club: LA.

MC:LA was great fun too! Great graphics to boot.

Loved 3 and 3 Remix. I reckon they blew NFS U out of the water in all ways that matter.
