[@varez1]

Idk about MC3, but in MC II it was good idea to NOT use a nitro. Only the slip stream effect (which you had to activate manually like a nitro - for those readers who don't know/remember) was useful. Why? Because when you used a nitro this resulted in two effects: 1) the other racers gained a speed boost immediately too 2) the other racers max speed got bumped a little bit (or yours got lower?) so each time you used a nitro you gained almost nothing and you actually were making your race harder. it was useful only when you were close to finish (so no loses from max speed difference) and your opponets were in a situation when getting a speed boost was unwelcomed (just before a turn, or simply when they got stuck). MCII was also hard because if opponets were far away - they havent had all the traffic to deal with - traffic was only around you. So all the "collect the checkpoints in any order" races were extra hard too.

Goooood times. I remember playing this when I was mid-highschool, real high on the hormones as I am hitting puberty. I remember my little brother and I taking turns racing these games, eventually finishing almost all the citoes, and I recall spending most of my Christmas break finishing off Tokyo Challenge. The soundtrack is powerfully nostalgic as it was the hayday of rap, punk rock, and I even got into the techno genre because of this game! And since I was starting to cope with my edgelord phase, I remember just customizing the cars to give it all a black colored matte/pearlescent hue with blue glowlights or decals and even giving them names. My favorite was the Lamborghini Gallardo, named Black Mamba, and the White Rider, a Class A motorcycle. Both I just loved using. I miss the blurring of the screen due to the speed, the soundtrack, and those events where you could win AN ACTUAL CAR. I'm now nearing my 30's, and the memories just came gushing back. The times where I didn't care about life, and skimping classes, and just wanting a taste of that speed offered by Midnight Club. Now I'm an adult handling a team and worrying about bills.

Specially in those races where you didn't have an order to go through checkpoints so you had to do some tries to design your own route. Damn now I need to play it again, I think it's time to play the remix version I never got to experience PS: I've been playing MC3DE Remix since yesterday and I'm so glad I started it. I was feeling a little bit sad, but after 200+ hundred resets on the first city I'm simply devoid of any emotions now, since life has lost all meaning to me. Losing a race no longer infuriates me, it just sinks me one level deeper into this cold emptiness.

[@vasudev6960]

Exactly my feelings after failing races multiple times😂😂 And yes the degree of freedom is what engaged me the most in this game, that also made it better than all other racing games, class apart from NFS

[@OscarIna0fTimeVODs]

@@vasudev6960 it was, still, a great experiece. Not only I enjoyed the incredible free driving, races and soundtrack, but I also got to master nihilism. I'm sure that if I tell any college that I completed MC3D3 Remix they would directly give me a degree ln either philosophy, psychology or both

[@vasudev6960]

@@OscarIna0fTimeVODs i know right, but too bad Rockstar killed this series, now i have to play the same old boring NFS that has zero difficulty in terms of races. This game had that corridor of uncertainty where anything can happen in a race, you could be thousand miles ahead in pole position and still there is a chance that you might lose. This made it so exhilarating and put you on the edge. You had to be very disciplined the whole race. Seriously, they should be giving a degree for completion of this game 😂😂😂

Thank you for still making vids about Midnight Club. Hopefully this builds traction and makes rockstar make another Midnight Club again

[@sambeezy007]

Shoot they can just give me a remaster of this and I'll be fine.

[@mastershake1790]

The amount of time I spent on this game was insane, it was all me and my friends would talk about in primary school. When I got that Murcielago my life was complete.

[@abdulrahmanalghamdi9781]

Man, this brings back a shit ton of memories, I remember the struggle to get to that "BY INVITATION ONLY" had to cell lotta cars so I can buy a one that can win me the race, but the best part is that I unplug the memory card from the PS2 before selling the cars so I can repeat the process and figure out what is the best car worth having.

[@killaking150]

The midnight club series was one of the most defining times in my life. Alongside Enter the Matrix 🤯 shit blew my mind racing, especially in MC2. My sister and I would play split screen and push every car into the LA duct areas until there were no cars around 😂😂

[@gameranxTV]

👌

This game had a lot of things going for it, the music, the cities, all feels so well put together. Moving to the cities and meeting those new local mechanics, heading out of the garage for the first time, drafting behind an opponent to boost over the others to win in the last second.. lol, Nostagia.

[@purwantiallan5089]

Agree. MCIII and LA nailed everything.

[@t-rexngatokorua8733]

Even Los Angeles was pretty enjoyable! My favourite part was playing my own music while racing around. But yeah, dun edition holds a special place in my heart.. So many good memories.. Cmon rockstar give us another one!

[@danielwang4436]

I loved this game and played it with my neighbor so much, I remember we were neck and neck towards the end of a race and I used Roar to shove the other cars out of the way

[@F40LM]

One of the best features was being able to changes the size in tyres and wheels which was unheard of before this game, making tyres small and wheels big and finding the balance was really really beautiful!

[@purwantiallan5089]

And also transporting to city to city.

I can’t believe I had this game, never knowing what dub was. Had this on Xbox when I was a kid, and I always thought the graphics on this looked great. I can’t remember where I played LA remix, but I remember that was my favourite. I kinda hope they reboot this series, but at the same time, don’t want them to ruin the memories

[@m.raihanammarfachrezixpplg7898]

[@Glenwoodfinest]

Don’t forget the soundtrack 🔥

[@drey_scorchin]

Great video I played all the midnight club games but I didn’t get serious about playing/racing till midnight club 3. Midnight club la was and still is the best racing game I have ever played. Hopefully rockstar games or another gaming company brings it back midnight club 5 on ps5

[@newuserO1191O]

This was indeed an amazing racing game. My favorite race mode in this game was the one where the finish line is set on the other side of the city and you will need to find the shortest path to get there. I forgot what it was called.

[@m.raihanammarfachrezixpplg7898]

Well, it still called Ordered Race in MC 3. In MC LA they classified it into Landmark Race

[@newuserO1191O]

@@m.raihanammarfachrezixpplg7898 ordered race is the one with set checkpoints. The one I'm saying only has the finish line set on the other side of the map. And you are free to choose which path to take to get there, but ideally, take the shortest path if you want to win.

I loved this game the customization was awesome and simple, and the racing was fun mainly multiplayer. I still remember playing split screen with my neighbor all day long racing and just roaming the city for cool jump spots. Racing with the power ups on was incredibly fun using things like pulse, the control flip, the bubble lol man so many good things in this game. I hope it follows the current trend of remakes and remasters tho I understand all the copyright issues that will never let it happen 😭

I was never crazy about racing games. Until i played midnight club 2! Open world racing game with street racers you engage actively by flashing your lights at them. Los Angeles, Paris, and Tokyo. This game spoiled me. I could never be happy with a typical track racing game again. Id love to hear what you guys think of MC2!

Favourite Car. You used quite a bit in the B-Roll, Chrysler 300c Dub Edition. Thing handled like a dream while having the speed and durability of a tank on steroids. Favourite city was SD, tons of fun jumps and place to hide from cops.

[@DesuVR]

I spent so many hours in this game. MC2 was most memorable, but MC3 gave us everything we wanted!

[@JadeMythriil]

What I like about the game is how far apart the checkpoint is. It allows you to take what ever route you feel like compared to games like need for speed where a set course is predetermined and are not allowed to deviate from it. It also adds challenge to each race as sometimes an optimal route is flooded with traffic making you think if the longer but cleaner route would be better for your time.

[@foldenkris]

Still a top ten favorite. The tracks, the customisation, the soundtrack, all were top notch!!

[@ChrisJoestarr]

Probably one of my most played games ever.

No other game captured the luxury tuning scene for suv’s and sedans like midnightclub
